A system for dispensing homemade baby food includes a dispenser with a nozzle and a plunger that can be moved toward the nozzle for dispensing baby food from the nozzle. The system further includes a container having a nipple that is releasably engageable with the nozzle so that baby food in the dispenser can be dispensed directly into the container. The container can be separated from the dispenser and sealed when a selected volume of the baby food has been placed in the container. The container with the baby food therein can be stored temporarily and used when needed.
