Pouches

What kind of pouches do you buy for your kiddo(s)?  I've been buying a few of the organic pouches with spinach, etc. each week, but it's getting pricey!

Re: Pouches

  • I bought refillable pouches on amazon. $10 for 3 of them. I just buy the cheap purees but you can put anything you want in them, obvi :)

  • I was going to ask what to put in the refillable ones.  Baby food never dawned on me.  I  was thinking almost smoothie-like stuff.

  • We buy the ones with oatmeal or yogurt in them, but I can't remember what type they are. She loves them though.

    Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

    I generally buy the Plum Organics pouches at Target. They seem to go on sale there frequently plus I get coupons for them in my target baby mailer and other random coupons online. He doesn't really eat them too often, I just try to have one on hand incase we're out somewhere and he gets hungry or if we're out ot dinner and he refuses to eat what we've ordered.

    Do you have any idea how you were signed up for the baby mailer?  Nobody seems to know how it happens.  I registered there and have a credit card and nothing!

    @hijinx I read a story about their stalking awhile back.  Target knew a teenage girl was pregnant before her dad did and started sending her baby coupons.  He lashed out, then found out they were right.  

    We use cash for everything, but when I'm there, I use our credit card, then pay off the balance because I want them to stalk me! Ha

    ETA: their stalking, not stalker

    I used to buy any flavor that sounded good to me, lots of variety, and lot of veggies. But LO was wasting a lot because the flavor wasn't what he was expecting. So now I buy the bulk boxes of one flavor, mostly fruit sometimes yogurt, because he would gag at the veggie flavors and eats whole veggies pretty well anyway. We always have at least applesauce pouches on hand. I just buy Mott's natural, not in the baby section or anything.

  • Can you ladies recommend your reusable food pouches?  I saw yummis listed above.  Just wondering if there were any others.  And, do they collapse as they are sucking from them?  I have the Sili Squeeze ones and they don't collapse.  Thanks :-)

    I have ez squeezees and they collapse. I've had them for about 6 months and they are starting to look worn but with daily use that's probably expected.

  • I buy Peter rabbit organics. They're about $1.68 each. I buy 7-10 for the week (1 per week day and extras if we go out on the weekend) and give him solid veggies and fruit any other time. His daycare gives him a pouch instead of the canned fruit they use for snacks. It's also how I give him his medicine (if he is on anything) because I know he will finish the pouch in one sitting and he won't take medicine any other way. Probably not the best practice, but when you're dealing with a fussy, sick baby, you do what it takes!

  • Thanks, y'all.  I'm going to look into the reusable pouches.

    Plum and Sprout are our favorites.  I will also do Gerber organic fruits.  Mostly we do plum.  If you email info@plumorganics.com they will send you coupons.  Plus I get target coupons and I buy them on sale. 
    Emailing them now.  Thank you!
