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 !

Absolutely disgusting! It’s so wonderful for a baby to take food off a plastic spoon instead of a little off the end of a plastic spout, which in my opinion is tantamount to child abuse. And to not be gazing at your angel adoringly while gently singing lullabies or reciting educational material is pure neglect. Call SS and log it with 101 next time you witness such shit parenting OP.

(slowly puts phone down and remembers baby on lap)

It is lazy and it looks feral.

But each to their own.

Surely that is the point of pouches? Meh is saves on bowls and spoons and palava

Xenia I’m guessing hoping you’re joking but you really shouldn’t chew up food for your child as it can transfer cavity causing bacteria to their mouths.

Riiight, how does it look feral. No clutter to carry around and more convenient.

Feral 😂😂 yes, all those animals in the wild with their little pouches of pureed peaches and blueberries

Do you protest about yoghurt in pouches as well op? Should children be eating those with a spoon?

Feral!? Have you seen how much they cost?

I used to freeze choob yoghurts and give them to my babies/toddlers to suck on

All those chavvy mums, stealing and burning out cars, smoking in the face of their babies, taking their kids to crack dens and feeding straight from pouch.

Totally feral.

Feral?! Is that a typo?

Sorry OP but I think you need to get down off your high horse. Live and let live. They're being fed a meal, and in all likelihood it's age appropriate and nutritionally okay one if it's designed as a baby meal.

FWIW I did BLW with DS so I've never fed him from a pouch or otherwise. We have the fruit pouches in for the day we leave the house before he's ready for breakfast, so he'll have a fruit or yoghurt pouch and a cereal bar in the pram en route. Does that mean I'm only feral on a Tuesday?

No typo. That is what I think when I see it.

There is no need to get offended guys. We all see things differently.

I'd eat everything out of a pouch if I could. I hate washing up/stacking the dishwasher.

I understood the op's point to be that it's lazy to squeeze it into the mouths of older children FOR THEM. Not that using pouches is lazy.

Do you know what feral means Okaassan?

Make the most of it pouch suckers, once they start outlawing plastic you"ll be wrapping puréed sweet potato and carrot in a leaf......

Pouches and iPhones didn’t exist when mine was small. So jealous of you all

I eat those smoothie pouches by squirting into my mouth.

What are pouches?

I mean it sounds as though bloody food manufacturers have puréed up some fruit or summat, stuck it in a plastic pouch, and then are massively overcharging Mums for half an apple and a slice of banana. Plus the preservatives and all manner of associated rubbish.

Clearly if Mums are squirting this stuff into their unsuspecting infants’ mouths then they are using these awful things in the way that is presumably intended.

I personally wouldn’t give the food manufacturers the satisfaction. Why not just give an apple a whizz in a blender?

I fail to see how feeding anyone from an expensive, plastic container containing puréed food can ever be described as ‘feral’. If it was a raw steak dripping with blood that might be different.

Ha! My baby is suddenly hating eating off a spoon but just gobbled up a whole Ella pouch by squirting it in his mouth... I hadn't realised this made me such a bad parent!

I do this. I don't care what you think

mywater - exactly what I was thinking!

Oh god, I totally use pouches. DD loves those squeezy yoghurts! She can feed herself from them though.
