Notes
*I'm aware of the huge discussion as to which kind of oil to use for babies. I've done extensive research on the topic and found for ourselves that extra virgin olive oil (among others) is a good fit.
**Spread them out on a tray, freeze for 3 hours and then transfer to a freezer-friendly bag or container.
