Reusable Food Pouch (Pack of 8)

I purchased the green pouch first, my dog ate them all then I ordered the Squooshi packets because my friend recommended them. I love the disposable packets for going out, but at home I prefer the reusable. Here is my review of both. I am using them with 14 month old twins. Both pouches are reasonably priced and came quickly.

Squooshi pros and cons:

pros: cute design, babies were able to get most of the food out on their own, easily washable, available in multiple sizes

cons: not dishwasher safe (does not say either way on the package or instruction, so i'm guessing no), does not stand up on its own (harder to fill), the sizes are small4.5 oz and 2.5. The smallest isn't even as big as the smallest disposable pouch, no measuring lines

I haven't decided if the zipper on the bottom as opposed to the top is a pro or con. So far I haven't had an issue with the bottom leaking

green pouch

pros: zipper on top, stands up on its own, larger size, sturdier pouches, measuring lines at 2, 4 and 6 oz

cons: babies needed more help getting all the food out, square design leaves more food in the bag when done, only available in one size. Cleaning is the biggest con for me. They are dishwasher safe, but I found that the dishwasher alone does not clean them well. Food also got caught in the bottom crevices, between the sides and the bottom. They say to use a bottle brush for the "pesky bits", but even that didn't reach all the food. To properly clean them, I had to take a skewer and a paper towel and shove it down in the crevice to wipe it out. After 3 weeks of use, the zipper separated from the sides. They are supposed to last a few months.

all in all, I think I will buy the squooshi pouches again. They both get four stars from me because there are features of the other that I like, but as far as ease of use for the babies (who I bought them for), I think the squooshi is preferable.

Just as a disclaimer, this is the only reusable pouch I've purchased, so I can't compare to others. But I did a lot of research ahead of time, and based on what I learned, decided to go with these.

I'm a mother of 3 wonderful children, ages 4, 2, and 7 months. We go through at least 14 Lifeway Probugs pouches a week. With a 3rd child soon to join the kefir monsters, I wanted a more economical option. So now I buy whole milk Kefir in a bottle, and fill the pouches myself. My only concern is that the kids will toss the pouches instead of bringing them home, but so far that has not happened. My 4 year old also loves to pick which design she wants to have. I was concerned that there is no stop valve on these like on the Probugs, but so far the Squooshis have not been any messier.

Squooshis are easy to fill, easy to close, and difficult to open, and that's what you want in a pouch. Try as they might, my kids cannot open the bottom of the pouch, and I can only do so using 2 hands. So, you're unlikely to have leakage at that end.

As far as cleaning goes, I run soapy water through them, scrub out the top with a nipple brush, and then run them through the dishwasher on the top rack to sanitize.

I have made many purees for my 7-month old and filled the pouches with those too. Makes for an easy on-the-go meal. You might want to use a jamming funnel to help with the filling process from your blender or food processor, or just wipe down the filling end with a paper towel before closing.

I purchased these for my then 10 month old. She loves them and they are very easy to use and clean. Upon receiving the original order, a cap was missing on one. A quick phone call and they not only replaced the cap, but they sent her another of her favorite animal Squooshi. I bought these so I could use my homemade baby food and avoid the expense of those costly pre made organic food pouches. Even my friend's 6 year old liked these! I would highly recommend these!

I love the squooshi. I like the idea of reusing the pouches. However they are hard to clean and dry.

The great thing is that the caps from other disposable pouches can be used on these. I am constantly loosing the caps.
