Help - Storing Baby Water and Food

MLTMLT
in Baby
Hi
I am thinking of starting Matthew on solids and water soon. Please can anyone help with the following basic qs (funnily enough the books never seem to cover the basic stuff!)
Q How long can i store cooled boiled water for him to drink - eg do some in the morning , put it in a bottle and then pour out cups for him during the day? Also, how long does it have to have cooled for?
Q If i make some baby food one day can i save some in the fridge and give it the next day? (I get the freezing bit, but don't know what to do if it's not frozen).
Q What's the best way to heat home-made baby food other than a microwave?
Q Can i heat up food that i've made then frozen if i haven't had time to defrost it?

Sorry to seem so useless. I'm rubbish at cooking for me and OH, so it naturally follows that i'll be rubbish for Matthew too, poor boy!
Thanks ladies image

    I keep water in bottles for 12 hours, cool enough to drink in about 30 mins I think, I keep cooked mush for 2 days in the fridge and if frozen I have defrosted and warmed in jug of water. Hope that helps !!!!
