Reuseable Food Pouches?

[raynes]

So apparently Owen will eat anything if it's in a pouch.  Anyone use reusable pouches?  Which ones?  Do you like them?

I have the little green pouches. So far so good. They are decently easy to fill and they look hard to clean but so far have been okay.

We also have little green pouches

We have the Sili Squeeze thesilico.com/ and these booginhead.com/products/squeezems-reusable-food-pouches that we found at Walmart for ~$8 for two.

I like the Sili Sqeeze because it's much harder for them to catastrophically explode in your purse, but the spout gets a bit of getting used to. If you get those, get the Eeeze ones- they don't have a valve in them, so they're a lot less work. Since they are silicone, they pop back into shape, which can make it more difficult for a younger kid to get all the air out and get to the food. I usually hold it for her when we use it.

The Squeezems are nice, but since the top just pushes on instead of screwing on, it can be squeezed so hard it pops off and all the food comes out. They also don't seem like they will last a few years like the Sili Squeeze, but the price is nice. Also, the spout is more like a traditional disposable pouch, too.

Are any of these dishwasher safe?

I think most of them are.

I have the Squooshi ones in the large size (4.5 ounces). They are dishwasher safe and are also easy to clean with a bottle brush. I really like them, but my only complaint is that they're difficult to fill. You have to squeeze it open with one hand while trying to spoon/pour with the other, and I'm just not that talented. Also, if you don't notice the one your kid left on the floor and step on it, the ziploc part will bust open and fire goo all across your living room. You know, hypothetically...

Haha.

I keep debating getting one of these. I know by the time I do, she will be over pouches.

My 3.5 year old still eats applesauce and yogurt pouches almost daily....

We have the Sili squeeze with eeze flow which work great for DS1 but since DS2 has to do everything himself and can't get the hang of these pouches we might look for some more like the baby food ones.
