Reusable / washable baby food pouch

Has anyone seen anythinglike this on the market here?

My baby loves sucking fruit / porridge / yoghurt out of a pouch and it's getting very expensive buying the Ella's Kitchen ones 2-3 x per day when I could make my own!

I looked extensively to no avail but it was 2 years ago so you might have better luck. I used to snip the bottoms off an Ella's pouch, re-fill it and used a food bag clip along the bottom to seal it. Bit messy but I went through a month of desperation! So glad Sainsburys now do fromage frais in pouches - yogurt was the worst Grin

I've wondered if Gel Flask would be sufficiently similar, however they have bite valves and not not the sort of top that the pouches do.

My baby has completely taken against being fed with a spoon...total pain! Not to mention expensive!

I've just bought this:

fillnsqueeze.co.uk/our-products/

Really good! The pouches are reusable, I emailed and checked first. Just wash out the pouch and put in Milton to sterilise first...You can probably reuse the Ella and plum pouches too if the nozzle fits.

Fantastic product!

Interesting article here about fruit pouches here: www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/28/are-blended-fruit-snacks-healthy-for-kids-_n_2971713.html

I have seen the ones you can fill yourself in supermarkets and wonder why anyone would use those.

Koko pouches - google them! I was just wondering whether to invest in them, but they are reusable pouches just like you say...

Just remember that the reusable pouches are a bit like bottles. You need to sterilise them and use within a short time of filling. They're not designed for long term storage.

Why do you need to sterilise the bags? I don't sterilise the food pots I fill before freezing them so why are the bags any different?

I've got the koko ones. Sadly a pain in the arse to hand wash or dishwasher wash. Sad Shame as they'd save Ă‚ÂŁĂ‚ÂŁĂ‚ÂŁ in the long run.

My mummy friends and I all use NomNomKids pouches, they're fantastic as can be used time and time again! Not only are they made from safe materials, but can be heated, frozen and dishwasher proof. My son loves the lion and fun animals design, and I love the fact that whatever I put in the pouches he will eat, (even when tired, poorly or busy playing). I can't recommend them highly enough ??

The wilko ones are an Australian brand and their FAQ's state that you should only use them a few times, not sure what Wilko says:

Cherub Baby Food Pouches are reusable, however we do suggest disposing of the baby food pouches after 5-6 uses.

Bought the mothercare ones (and gadget to fill them). www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Fill-%27N-Squeeze-Baby-Food-Pouch-Filler-Starter-Pack/953342,default,pd.html
Fantastic for smooth purees but not for lumps. Have them in freezer as I batch make DS food and brilliant to defrost on the go. If comparing to Ellas kitchen then defo saving ÂŁÂŁÂŁs long term.....as its only ÂŁ5 for 10 reusable pouches. www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Fill-%27N-Squeeze-Sterile-Baby-Food-Pouches---10x150ml/960304,default,pd.html
