So, in the previous food thread, I saw a lot of you gave your babies fruit or veggie pouches. I'm curious, do you just hand them the pouch and they eat it themselves, right from the pouch, or do you feed it to them like a puree? I don't understand how these work.
Re: pouches
She gets one of those maybe once every 3 days and I just give it to her and she sucks it out. I don't fee like fighting with her lol
DD likes the pouches, also on a no spoon kick. I use them when I think her diet needs a little balance or she can't mash what we are having for dinner. And out and about. She gets maybe 2 a week now.
I love that they have veg puréed with the fruit and it still tastes good to her. Vitamins!
yeah, I'm not buying the maggots story either. I'm not worried too much about contaminants or choking, my girls just don't seem to understand the concept of squeezing the pouch. They just bite on the top of it and then throw it aside.
I don't know why I am kind of grossed out by them. I think it has to do with drinking thick liquids. I don't like smoothies either, or drinks like V8.
This is why we haven't tried them. There have been a few containers from Gerber of purees we opened and I didn't like the look of them so we threw it out. I can actually see those though. The pouch I can't but if they want to make a see through one I would go for that!
the mold though is a valid concern (just not a big one), it's the reason why capri sun now doesn't have full foil packages, and use half clear. i think they should do that with baby food pouches, too.
Someone gave me this they didn't use but not the plunger part. I have it in my amazon cart but it's one of those add on items so I have to buy other stuff to get it shipped free or find it in store. Otherwise I'd be making them.
