Reusable pouches - easiest system

Looking for reccomendation for a faff free refillable pouch system. Looked at infantino but like the look of the jugg nutripouch one as you can fill one pouch after the other without refilling?

Ice cube trays?

I have the Nom Nom pouches but I don't use them much. When I batch cook I use ice cubes trays to freeze the food. It's not ideal to allow babies to feed directly from a pouch, always put it in a bowl and use a spoon.

It’s not sketching I’ve used sorry @Cherry85

Have you started weaning yet? If not, I would delay buying much until you’re tried. My DC2 was very, very clear that they wanted to food we had or nothing. Any equipment aided at traditional weaning would have been a complete waste Smile

Honestly i hated them and could never get into the corners inside to get them clean so gave up.

I really just recommend a blender, a nuk food cube tray and bowls bowls with lids

I used maybe 2-5 Ella's pouches per month (which went in a bowl anyway) for when I was in a pinch but by 1yr didnt need then for either oglf my children. They were on proper food by then.

I dont like yoghurt pouches like suckies because they aren't organic and in our area its generally kids in prams sucking these while being wheeled about which I don't like (we did sit down meals from the start so we can actually go out for meals without drama / bad behaviour)

Sorry meant it’s not a system I’ve used 🤦‍♀️

I had one and then hardly used it because of the faff. Pureeing food and freezing in ice cube trays is a lot easier for at home, then often store bought pouches (I liked the Tesco or Asda ones) for out and about. I will say I had a covid baby so there wasn’t so much out and about in the first year Smile
