I asked my friend Carolyn, owner of the Tickle Trunk for some ideas to get around this (she specializes in stainless steel products to store or freeze food) and mentioned using wax, parchment paper, or cheesecloth with a rubber band. This would eliminate your concerns with any toxins leeching from lids. Give it a try and please post back. Thanks! Suzanne Update from Suzanne:

The smallest I have been able to find are 1.5 oz not as small as ice cube size but you may get better final results compared to the ice cube tray becuase I've heard they tend to crush the cubes when you pull the lever. I've found them for a $1 a piece & figure you can fill them individually & then put them in a baking pan before you put them the freezer so you don't have them tipping & falling all over the place.

I am having a really hard time figuring out how to store/freeze homemade babyfood! Doing some research I read that many of the babyfood glass jars have bpa in the lids....Also, they are not recommended for freezing because they can have microscopic breaks in the glass, I like your idea about the steel ice cube tray and I have been researching Ball canning glass jars. But I am still confused...seems like danger everywhere!! thanks for sharing your information. I am having a really hard time figuring out how to store/freeze homemade babyfood!

I'm not sure if it is my monitor but the first paragraph is blocked by the google ad - which happens to be for tupperware. Maybe formatting can fix this. thank you as always for the great info I really appreciate you sharing your research.
