The pouches are very easy to fill

I have the entire Infantino system. The pouches are very easy to fill, as long as it is well pureed, if there is chunks of say full peas, it will take some power to push the puree through. I cook all my babies foods and then mix them together and store them in the refridgerator or the freezer in these. The price of these are a great price. I believe they end up being .20 a pouch plus the cost of food. We have even made smoothies for my husband and I, froze them, and then used them for travel in the car. When I pull a frozen pouch out of the freezer, it can stay frozen and cold for 5-6 hours. If I want it to thaw faster, I use my hands to work it a little here and there and leave it out of a lunch style container. Have recommended these many times.

Great way to have control over child's diet!!!!

Anyone else out there have a child who really enjoys those premade baby food pouches? Anyone have a picky kid who doesn't eat any vegetables? Anyone looking for convenient snacks that are perfect for on-the-go? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this product might be for you! Why am I giving this product 5 stars? Let me tell you my story: I have a ridiculously picky 17 month old, and she has been picky since the day we first introduced solids. From like 6-9 months, no matter what it was, if it wasn't breast milk, she gagged to the point of vomiting. Things have gotten better, and we have found solids that she likes but that mainly consists of chicken nuggets, french toast, meatballs, yogurt, and fruit (thankfully, she eats almost any fruit out there!). But vegetables? Forget about it. We can try until our face turns blue and she won't even put anything that remotely looks like a vegetable into her mouth. Kids, man. During my desperate attempts to get my daughter to EAT, I picked up a few of the baby food pouches from the grocery store. I started with pretty basic things, like apples and sweet potatoes, but as I ventured into more obscure flavors (chickpeas, broccoli, beets), it seemed like no matter what the flavor was, my daughter would eat it. Maybe it was the fact that she was independently able to self feed with the pouch? Not sure what it was, but it soon became clear: if it was in pouch form, it was a winner. One of my daughter's first words was "POUCH!" :: face palm :: Pouches became a weekly staple in our grocery store runs. I would try to buy the healthiest ones I could find, and mainly try to focus on the veggie-heavy kinds. Soon, though, I wanted to look for another alternative? Why? Well: 1. Pouches are expensive! The cheapest I could find were ones for 0.99, but the majority of them ranged from 1.19-1.76 per pouch! This adds up! 2. As I noted earlier, my daughter would eat fruits on her own, so pouches were my attempt to sneak vegetables into her diet. While a pouch would say that it contained kale, peas, or spinach, it was often not clear how much of the vegetable was present. Was the pouch really all apples with 2 peas? Was I really sneaking enough veggies in?? 3. Mom guilt. Sigh. I know, I know, fed is best, but I felt like I was failing by giving my daughter premade pouches all the time. Shouldn't I be slaving away in the kitchen to give her only the very best?? These pouches and the corresponding squeeze station (Infantino Squeeze Station) came recommended to me by my sister-in-law. I bought the system right up to try to assuage items 1-3 above. I had a couple of "Where do I even start" moments, but decided I just needed to dive in. Through trial and error, I learned what works and what doesn't work and I include my tips to you below. PROS: - I can feel more fulfilled as a mother because I am giving my daughter something that I myself made. It makes me feel good inside. - I have control over what goes inside every pouch. I choose the ingredients and I decide on the ratio of fruits/vegetables. - I save money. It's about 30 cents for each of these disposable pouches. Depending on the exact ingredients I am using, I spend about 2-5 dollars for each recipe batch. Each recipe batch makes about 10 pouches. This is much less than what I was spending on pouches in the grocery store. - They freeze well. I typically spend a few hours making about 50 pouches at once. I label with Sharpie marker and throw in the freezer. To thaw, it is very simple. For the pouches that I send to daycare, I simply take it out of the freezer the night before and put into her lunch box in the fridge. The pouch is thawed by morning. For pouches that my daughter wants to eat at home, I typically lay on the counter to thaw in about 2 hours, or if I need one quicker, I just thaw in a mug of warm water. That takes about 5 minutes. You shouldn't microwave these pouches. - Texture has always been as issue for my daughter. I think that contributes to her pickiness. What I like about these pouches is that due to the way you fill them (like a plunging system), something that has not been finely enough pureed will simply not pass through the spout. When this happens to me, I just return to the food processor and puree some more and/or add some water (using the water from the vegetables I have steamed if I can) to further thin out. CONS: - It can get a little messy doing the filling. I have the Infantino Squeeze station and I find that the suction is so strong, that after you have filled the pouch, you cannot simply pull up the plunger. You have to unscrew the filler container first. Then I often find that some of the pouch filling spews out. I just have to have a lot of rags on hand to mop of spills and splatters. - Be prepared to wash a lot of dishes, because I find that you need a lot of equipment to make these pouches. I use pots and a steamer basket, a food processor, and the Infantino Squeeze Station. I usually do a few batches/flavors in one sitting, so I have to wash a lot of things over and over. It definitely feels like a chore. I prefer to do a lot at one time, though, because when I steam the carrots or the apples, I steam a lot of them and use them in different recipes/combinations. - I feel bad throwing all of this away. The good thing is that Infantino does offer reusable pouches! I like that as an option, but because I prefer to make my pouches in bulk and freeze, these disposable ones are more suited to my needs. ___________________________________________ RECIPE IDEAS- I am far from talented in culinary arts, but through trial and error (and what I happened to have on hand), these particular combinations have found success in our household. To get the general idea, I provided the first recipe in great detail, but the others just list the flavors that I find go well together. 1. Acorn Squash, Peach, Carrot, and Apple - Slice, de-seed, and roast the acorn squash (about 45 minutes at 400 degrees). - Steam some carrots until tender. If using baby carrots, I think I take about two handfuls. If using regular carrots, I think I use 2-3 peeled ones. - Use 1 small bag of frozen peaches. I let sit on the counter to start to soften as I prepare the vegetables. You could probably use fresh peaches, too! That just wasn't an option for me. - Use 2-3 peeled and steamed apples, or store bought applesauce works too! I mainly use the apples to add some sweetness. Pears are another good option. - Combine everything together into food processor and blend until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, add water to thin. 2. Red Pepper, Carrot, and Pear 3. Broccoli, Zucchini, and Mixed Berries 4. Sweet Potato and Tropical Fruits 5. Avocado, Cherry, and Watermelon 6. Kiwi, Celery, and Green Bean 7. Spinach and Pineapple 8. Pea and Mango

Easy baby and toddler feeding option!

These work really well for my family. I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old - for the baby the big selling point is that these make storing homemade baby food really easy - throw them in the freezer, then when it's time to use just squeeze the food into a dish and throw the pouch back in the fridge. We find that it lasts longer than jars or plastic containers because there's minimal exposure to air. For my toddler the above applies, but the real advantage is that we can sneak all sorts of healthy food into him as long as it's in a pouch. My one complaint is that these aren't recyclable to my knowledge, so it feels really wasteful.

Exactly what you need

I've been using these for years. They freeze well and defrost quick in a hot bowl of water and some manual squishing. I make applesauce with apples, pears, steamed carrots, lemons, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a little prune juice (3.5 ounces per 10 pounds of applesauce) and it keeps my daughter regular. The packets keep well for a while in the refrigerator, I've never had one go bad. Fill up is easy if you cook everything well and then use the puree feature on the ninja blender. You won't be able to get clumpy food through the neck. Going to keep buying these until my daughter chooses to stop eating from them.

Better than the molds...

Perfect for homemade baby food. The silicone containers are great if you want to make food 3-4x per week, because each mold is 2oz. At 4oz each - these are what you need once the babe is 6 months. I make baby food once a month, freeze the pouches and I’m set with organic, homemade baby food for pennies. Plus, I can cook the meat I choose to...I mean, have you smelled baby food meat in the jar? Oh my word! Would you eat that? I mean, maybe if it was a zombie apocalypse...otherwise...ew. You’ll need the little press ($15) from the same line to make the baby food, unless you have something else to force the purée into the pouches. I throw the food into the instant pot, steam it, transfer it to the vitamix (bender) and blend it, let it cool and fill the pouches and freeze. Easy, delicious and inexpensive.

Worth the money, so convenient!

My family and I really love these pouches. I purchased these along with the squeeze station and they really are awesome! Once a month I buy all of my son's favorite veggies, cook/steam them, make the blends and stuff the pouches. I make 50-60 pouches at a time and this usually lasts me a couple months with a 10 month old. I use these when I don't have anything prepared for him to eat already, when we're on the go or when he is at the babysitters. They are seriously so convenient and amazing! They last for up to 2 months in the freezer and take just a little bit to dethaw. I always place them in a cup of cool water for about 30 minutes. Or if we're on the go I take them out before we leave and they've usually dethawed by the time he is ready to eat them. Most importantly, I know what is going into my son's body. This allows me to easily make organic baby food for almost $.30 cents less a pouch that the already prepared organic baby food pouches. If you didn't do organic you'd save even more! It's worth every penny really. Overall, I recommend buying these if you're interested in making your own baby food. They are by far the best solution for baby food storage especially if you're comparing these to the cubes. Here are some pros and cons to these guys: PROs - Easy to take on the go - Can put any food in them you like and customize your food blends for your baby - Can be stored for 2 months in freezer - See through to identify what is in them and easy to label - So easy and quick to stuff takes just minutes to put the food in! - Great for travel CONs - A little costly - Can't be reused Try them out, I'm sure you'll love them too!

I have used these through 2 kids now.. ...

I have used these through 2 kids now... I figured out that I save over $40 a box making Greek yogurt bags for my toddler as opposed to buying the single serve yogurt pouches.... I prefer to order my bags from Amazon because they come packaged with a lid per bag, Baby's-r-us only has 25 lids for every 50 bags, and I can not count on daycare to send me back the lid.

Better than the Foodii system, and I know what's in the pouch

Food pouches are an awesome invention, and somewhere between the price of pre-filled pouches and the freaky pics that were going around Facebook of moldy food inside opaque packages your kids were putting straight in their mouth, I started to love the idea of making our own. I tried the Kiinde Foodii system and Twist pouches after using the Kiinde bottles and bags for nursing. When I saw the Infantino system, I had to try it too. These pouches have a few advantages over the Foodii system and Twist pouches. Of course the filling mechanism (which you have to buy separately) is super cool. It was a lot easier to fill these with the filling station than to fill the Twist pouches with the cup and spout provided with the Foodii set. Aside from the filling station, the primary benefit to these pouches is that they are ready to go and completely disposable/recyclable, just like what you would buy from the store. The spout is built in and the lids are disposable and come with each pouch. The Twist pouches have a wider neck, which is good for the nursing system, but to use them as food pouches you have to attach a spout or spoon that you wash and reuse. Ok for at home, but not as convenient for on the go, which is why you really want to buy pouches. I like that its a 50 pack. I am a pretty busy working mom, so when I find time to make food for these suckers, I want to fill and freeze as much as I can in one session. I filled some with homemade baby food that I can freeze, thaw in warm water or fridge, and then squeeze onto the spoon for fairly mess-free feeding for my 6 month old. When she's bigger we can skip the spoon step. I also made some with applesauce and some with yogurt for my 4 year old as I'm always running late and pouches make a great in-the-car snack. I was hoping the yogurt would work to replace our standard frozen Gogurt while being slightly more nutritious, but they have to thaw quite a bit before you can get it out of the little spout. If I remember to throw in the fridge the night before it could be a good running out the door option. Pros: -Disposable/Recyclable, with spout built in and disposable lid -Easy to fill with the filling station -Price - these are cheaper than the Twist pouches, and depending on what you put in them, cheaper than buying pre-packaged pouches from the grocery store. Cons: -Have to purchase and use the filling station. I'm sure there's a way around it, but it can't be very easy. That spout is pretty narrow. -Smaller size - only 4 oz. Ok for my 6 month old, but would have liked a little bigger for my bigger kids. Twist pouches are roughly 6 oz -Adds an additional cost over just freezing food in jars or ice cube trays. I think the cost is worth the portable benefit.

great product!

Love these pouches. They screw directly onto the squeeze station plungers that correlate with this product so filling is so easy. Many complain about the inability to get chunkier foods in. I've discovered these pouches have a small plastic bar connected to the spout of the pouch one the inside to prevent bigger pieces fitting through. Since they are designed for all ages it may pose a choking hazard to infants without it. However, since my toddler is proficient with chunks I found I can easily bend that plastic bar to the side and then fill my pouches with textured foods without an issue. If I use mini chocolate chips I put them in first, then fill and mix. We use these pouches for smoothies, yogurt and pureed fruit so we're not usually trying to push anything larger than a mini chocolate chip through the opening. These freeze well and thaw in the fridge or with warm water. Cap stays put in my diaper bag, no leaks. The pouch does start to collapse on itself if your little one tries to just suck on it. You have to actually squeeze these when they get about half way to avoid that. Took my kiddo a few uses to learn that but he did eventually grasp the concept.

Must have squeeze pouches if you want to give your kids healthy meals or treats.

I love these. Can't say enough goks thigs about them. I have a young kids and one has lots of food allergies. We went on a family vacation to Florida for 14 days. We didnt know where the groshry stores were going to be and if they would have thigs they could eat. So I packed foods in the pouches for them for every meal for 14 days froze them and took them it was amazing. I didnt have to worry that they wouldnt be able to get food. I had it all right there. So easy to do. I wash out mine and refill them one time. I know they don't recommend that but if you wash it really fast it comes very clean. I wish they had the squeeze tops a little cheaper to go with then. They are amazing too. Especially if the foods are a little wetter. They are a must have. I have been filling them for our next vacation camping next week. So excited. My little guy gets food shy when we are away frpm home but with these he will eat them its like a treat. And you know exactly what in them. I love that. So much of a money saver.
