Mums who squirt pouches into baby’s mouth

[Notmorewashing]

I find this so lazy and gross while out and about, seems to be increasing. Even worse when Mum is gazing into iPhone and not even looking what she’s doing !

Silly thing to say. I agree, as long as the baby is fed. The person that posted this just dissapeared

Ella's kitchen pouches have saved my sanity many times when out shopping with a buggy-hating toddler. Hand him a pouch of organic banana/blueberries/yoghurt and he happily sucks away for 2 mins, giving me just enough time to grab what I need and pay.
They're also good for bringing out and about chilled on warm days.

"Honflyr

Would you want to eat food spit out of someone else's mouth? That's disgusting hmm"

Yeah it's a presumably human baby not a baby bird and how is that better than a pouch? I also don't think it's a traditional meal or giving a very nice "experience" of eating.

@Notmorewashing

If you don't like pouches then don't use them with your kids but leave other women to parent as they see fit instead of slagging them off on MN.

do you think when bottles were invented someone was saying "ugh why don't you just glug it from the tap or cup !

I did it on occasion but I'm personally a fan of baby led weaning if you want a confident child who eats everything. Sucking processed food from a pouch has got to be an emergency option.

Oh do get lost OP! I bet you were the woman giving me filthy glares in the gp's waiting rooms the other day for doing just this! I keep pouches on me precisely for occasions when I am out for longer than expected and my son starts to get grouchy because he is hungry! So sorry I didn't come prepared with a buffet bloody dinner! Silly me for thinking it would be considerate not to let my son fling peas and potatoes across the waiting room, which no doubt, you would have bitched about as well!

I love how involved individuals like the OP want to get in dictating how Mums (notice not dad's) feed their kids, but where are you when the shit gets real? Where were you when I hadn't slept more than 40 mins to an hour a night for over a week due to illness and teething, sat in a cafe with my hair on end and a ten espresso coffee while my child ate whatever the hell would keep them happy while I tried to pick up my shambles of a career by responding to some emails on my phone - the same career that pays half our mortgage? You want to be involved enough to have an opinion on that single snapshot of my life, you be prepared to help with the rest. If you don't want to get that involved, kindly shove your opinions on what children are fed up your judgemental bottom. If you squeeze them past your retentive sphincter.

How else are you meant to feed them with a pouch?

YABVU. Dear God, how dare people FEED their hungry child?! What kind of sick person does this??

For the record, I make my own baby food AND use jars and pouches. Sometimes the baby doesn’t take enough milk when we’re out and about and I don’t always have my fresh, slaved overfood to hand. So I would give a pouch. I may even squeeze it into her mouth if I don’t have a spoon to hand.

And as for chewing it and feeding them. Next time you go out for a meal have one of your companions chew up a steak and feed you it, see how you like it!

Exactly what @AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen said.
