Haha! To be honest, those pouches are the ultimate convenience food - the whole point is that you don't need a spoon or anything at all.
Aren't they the modern equivalent of jarred baby food, for mums who wouldn't want to be seen gpfeeding their baby jarred food - so there's all this organic blah blah.
I guess in the end, there's always a place for convenience stuff. We might all eat convenience food occasionally and there's a place for it. Probably not great if you live on it or if your baby lives entirely on pouches, but the odd one is fine. I guess it would be better to be eating a home cooked, nutritious meal and for babies to get used to eating what the family have, but when you're out its not always easy.
Must say though, I think it's a shame if you see a baby having its meal and the adult doesn't speak to them or look at them because they are on their phone or tablet the whole time.....in the same way I do t really like it if I se children or adults having a meal out and all on devices with no conversation. To be honest, I think that's worse than feeding them a pouch. It's so easy to be on devices all the time, it probably takes lots of parents a real effort to make meal time or other times into quality interaction time.
I guess we all go for the easy option sometimes. There aren't any points for being a martyr and struggling to make things as hard as possible.....but at the same time, I suppose we have to all think about which things are important to us generally. I'd be keen for mine to eat home cooked food most of the time and I'd definitely be keen for them to have meal time for social interaction so try not to be on the phone, but I'm sure I do other things that some people wouldn't do.
