5yo Eating baby food

[JenniferL90]

OK, not that dramatic but it means you opened the thread.

Even as a baby DD didn't have actual baby food.

But I do still by the pouches that are just fruit, find them great to keep in the car as a quick snack. Don't worry she still has 5 fresh fruit/veg a day.

Is it weird though?

I mix them with Martini. The sparkling, ready to drink one. Delish!

They have quite a high sugar content

My DH hates them but ive got a couple for emergencies now hes 18 months and eating the same as us. Good to have in the car

Lots of things have a high sugar content, nothing wrong with eating/drinking them in moderation.

They have a high sugar content because they are fruit.....

I remember a neighbour being shocked at ‘the sugar content’ of an Ella’s kitchen fruit pouch and then declaring she would only purée fruit herself and add a little sugar.... 🙄

That's quite an age gap relationship there maddness

we buy these ones for DC aged 5 packed lunches....they are great for dairy free kids who cant eat a frubie yoghurt but want something like their friends....same difference if you ask me :)

Mine used to eat them frozen. Now we have the kids Innocent Smoothies frozen instead.

My 5yo dc still loves those fruit pouches. They’re brilliant to have in your bag as emergency snacks too.

When I lived in France there were tons of fruit puree pots, same as yoghurt in packs of 4 to snap apart, marketed at same people as yoghurt. I loved it!

Sold here in France as a snack, not in the baby aisle, we all eat them in this house and my youngest child is 8. Completely normal. We also freeze them as slushies in the summer.

They're aimed at anyone in Germany- or rather you can pay 99 cents for a single one marketed for babies or 2€ for a box of 6 with just pictures of the fruit on marketed at no age group in particular. Loads of kids of all ages take them to school. My 6 year old goes to afternoon club but doesn't eat their lunches so often takes a normal apple plus a strawberry and banana pouch as well as a sandwich - actual bananas don't travel well in a school bag.

I would like to recommended the Ella's Kitchen banana and coconut pouch for putting in your prosecco...

One of the best things about having DS was I got to have rusks again

Of course it's not weird (though reading some of these responses some people obviously think it is). It's just pureed fruit, marketed at parents of babies - I still serve it up to my older DC with a tbsp of Greek yoghurt, as a slightly healthier alternative to sugared fruit yoghurts.

My granddad eats them. He's 90 and strong as an ox.

Do they have bits in?
I love coconut yoghurt but I hate the texture of coconut.

Not weird i do this too. My dc is 3. Handy when i have ran out of fruit and on the go. I used them on occasion on top of weetabix. Yum

My four year old will occasionally request an Ella’s Spag Bol in a pouch. 🤷🏾‍♂️

IHaveBrilloHair Nope - no bits! A perfect smooth yummy puree :) Very coconutty. In a bright yellow sachet.

Mine does. She loves them!

My 18 year old likes the strawberry ones. Now I'm wondering if she puts them in alcohol......

I still use them for my eldest who is 3.5 after swimming - she hated them as a baby except when she had a throat infection once! Great for a quick snack on the go.
