Reusable pouches make feeding babies easy and convenient compared to a spoon because you just fill it and give the baby to suck as they squeeze either smoothies or other foods. Reusable Pouches are made of silicone or plastic making it easy for the baby to handle and also have a zipper at the bottom to open when refilling.
When using the food pouch, ensure that the food is very smooth to avoid some been stuck in the spout. Before using a pouch on the baby, make sure they know how to use it correctly. For a pouch that has a zipper at the bottom, make sure that it’s well secured before giving the baby to avoid spillage and waste. When cleaning a reusable pouch, separate all the parts and use hot water with soap and a bottle brush to ensure all the areas are well cleaned especially if there is food that has been stuck.
The benefits of a pouch are;
Baby can feed themselves when they are hungry especially when one is driving or busy doing something else at home. Another advantage is that one is able to control what goes in the pouch mostly when you want to change the baby’s nutrition.
Reusable pouches help save money because one does not need to buy baby food jars for example one just purees food made for the whole family and then puts a little in the pouch for the baby. They are also eco-friendly because one does not need to dispose of after one or two use.
When storing baby food in the pouch, make sure that it’s cleaned before use. While storing food in the fridge, use it in two days while in the freezer it can be stored up to two months. Labeling them makes it easy to remember the dates. If the baby does not finish the food in a pouch, make sure to empty it to avoid infections. The pouch should not be overfilled because it may leak and rapture. Also one does not need to microwave food in the pouch you can simply deep in warm water.
When buying a food pouch, make sure that it’s of the right size, that there are no dangerous additives, it’s easy to clean, it has a zipper at the bottom, and its fit for the kind of food that you want to feed the baby and does not require one to buy an extra baby food maker like a blender.
