For those who make homemade baby food purees, how much of each item did you make?

How many portions of sweet potatoes should a make? I am a SAHM for now but will be going back to work as soon as I find the right job. I am trying to get things done ahead a bit. Today I cooked and mashed up one sweet potato from my uncle's garden. It made 25 ice cube sized portions. I have another sweet potato but wasn't sure I'd want more than 25 portions of one item before my little guy is on more table foods. I was also thinking of maybe doing a combination sweet potato & apple puree with the other. Any advice would be appreciated.

Update:

My baby is currently well over 90% breast fed and I intend to keep breast milk as his primary nutrition.

    I think 25 of one type is plenty. Freeze half portions of blueberry purée - its great to mix with apples bananas oatmeal and yogurt, plus blueberries are a superfood!

    It depends on how many different foods are you going to make, and how often you want to make them.

    I think I made at least 4 sweet potatoes at a time.. if your going to do it, it's not hard to do more.

    Instead of mixing them together, you may want to keep them seperate. If you want them together you can just take a cube of each. If you want apple seperate or sweet potato seperate you have it and don't have to make more.

    I went out and bought a 12 pack of jar food.. fed the baby the jars and then cleaned the jars and filled them with the puree foods.. I used as much as it took.. I dont think you can over feed a baby.
