Feel guilty feeding my baby mainly food pouches

[user395837496932]

I have a 3 year old energetic toddler and a 6 month old. Trying to keep them both happy and entertained can feel hard work at times. Baby in particular will often scream if I put him down for too long. The house is constantly a mess. I often feel conflicted/guilty whether I'm doing housework/ playing with kids I always feel I should be doing the other.
Now baby has started weaning 80% of his food is ellas kitchen pouches and mum guilt has kicked in further . I don't get the mixed veg/fruit ones as I know they are so high in sugar with low veg content. I just feel I don't have the time. Yet I see other mums with two children similar to me who have perfect houses and well fed children doing all fun activities.
This post was meant to just be asking how often others feed their babies pouches? Should they just be occasional? Sorry I've rambled on. I am also trying blw but he doesn't eat any of it yet just throws it around.

I defo used jars and pouches for weaning with both my kids. No guilt!

Projecting my issues? You sound quite unhinged and as though you have a few issues yourself.

Thank you everyone your comments have made me feel a lot better. I think the current situation is just getting to me. I will try blw again in a month or so. He just seems to eat a lot more spoon fed from pouches. I did blw from about 8/9 months with my toddler she had homemade purées mainly before that as I had more time. She was a great eater until about a year ago after getting a sickness bug she literally went off food all together. She is still very fussy and won't even touch pasta (this could be a whole other thread). I'm actually hoping she watches her baby brother eat foods she won't and copy

I made every scrap of food for my first child, carefully selecting recipies and freezing all meals in little blocks or mini bowls with kids. Didn’t give even one jar or pouch.
Then I had twins and a 2 year old. It was pouches all the way 😂 I did mash or blend meals we were having for the twins very often but all other occasions were pouches. Please don’t feel guilty! Mash or blend dinners when they are appropriate and otherwise use the pouches! It’s hard with a toddler and baby- make it easier on yourself, be kind to yourself and don’t put so much pressure on yourself.
When you have been through having twins and a 2 year old, you quickly learn to leave all mum guilt and just do what you need to, to survive!

Nothing wrong with pouches. Good idea to try BLW again in a month or so. He’s only 6 months so just getting started.

You can put the purée on toast or stir through pasta as an easy transition stage. Maybe try some easily prepped things like mashed banana/avocado or Greek yogurt for a bit of a change of texture?

These are strange times, your baby is happy and mostly getting nutrition from their milk anyway so stop feeling guilty!
