Reusable baby food pouches

[Nenibay]

Does anyone have one of the little green pouch reusable food pouch? I need to stop spending $1.80 per pouch when DD sucks it down in 2 mins! I saw these and thought it may be a good alternative. Anyone use one or something similar?

I do! I'm torn. I love that I can make my own stuff for them, and that they are cheaper. I puree spinach and applesauce and my kids love it.
It totally kills the convenience factor of pouches, though. I bought a bunch at Costco and haven't been using my reusables as much, but until they have spinachy applesauce I'll keep doin' it.

Are they hard to clean?

I have them. We only put plain yogurt in them because we are lazy, but she loves it. She doesn't know any better, poor kid.

We put ours in the dishwasher.

We also have the Little Green pouches! We clean them in the dishwasher.

I was terrified daycare would accidentally throw them out when I sent them in but so far so good!

I have them and I love them. They can be hard to clean if you don't do it right away. And if you try to open the zipped closure while the cap is still on you will break it. But, I still love them and recommend them.

emsumm - the Target near us sells their own brand of pouches and they have an apple and spinach flavor.  I don't know if you're anti Target brand though.

My 3-year old may or may not think fruit and veggie pouches are Capri Suns.  I may or may not disabuse her of this notion since it's pretty much the only way she eats vegetables

Thanks for the reviews! I like the spinach applesauce idea. I think I'll bite the bullet and buy some!!
