Discussion about baby food pouches

Every few years there’s a revolution in children’s food and the way it’s presented. Back in the day, glass jar/ cans were seen as cutting edge in terms of long term storage and convenience after sterilization, then now we are seeing more and more products presented in a plastic pouch with a screw top or anti-choking cap. Yes these are convenient, fantastic to have on the go and easy for kids to eat.

There are mums out there that love the baby food pouches and there are mums that refuse to use them. But the reality is that these pouches fit into the busy lives of mums extremely well. All mums know how important it is to have portable snacks with you when you are out and about, but they also know how fantastic it is to have a food that creates less mess and chews less time.

As a dietitian I am always recommending new mum to take spout pouch snacks with them when they are out doing groceries, doing errands or visiting friends or coming to the hospital for appointments. We all know how important a regular intake of food is for little ones and we also know it tends to keep them happier for longer periods of time, by happier I mean quieter.

Pros of baby food pouches:

• Baby food in spout pouch can be bought at any supermarket at a competitive price

• They promote self feeding and independence. The child controls how much they eat and when to stop because they’re full.

• The contents of pouches are easily swallowed, rather than spat out. For parents who are keen to monitor exactly how much their child is eating, pouches can give a clearer indication.

• They minimise messy eating. The clean up after meals is simple and there is no washing up
• Spout pouch baby food is very convenient, can be transported easily, weigh very little and can be stashed into a nappy bag or handbag for later.

• Spout Pouch food manufacturers push the natural, organic and nothing artificial added angle. So there’s a feel good factor for parents who may feel less than virtuous about offering their child processed food

• They’re reasonably nutritious. Preparation is regulated, controlled and hygienic
• They don’t require any preparation. For busy parents, buying pouched food cuts down on shopping and cooking time
