[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, my kid is a teenager so maybe this is just a new trend, but I have to ask: what’s up with pouches?

By about a year old, mine was basically eating the same foods we were at that point, just mashed up or diced smaller for safety. I couldn’t imagine giving her purées from a straw/spout at that age, where she couldn’t see or smell or chew anything.

Or am I not understanding what “pouches” are? [/quote]

No you got it. I think pouches are super easy and the baby doesn’t get as messy as when they eat real food. I never used them but it’s very common. If you go to a restaurant or if you’re driving somewhere it’s easy to give the baby a punch instead of real food. It’s a convenience thing.[b] But the kid is pretty much only eating sweets and breast milk.[/b] Not my cup of tea. [/quote]

Not all pouches are sweet.  My kid eats a huge variety of vegetables in pouches, mostly with no fruit mixed in but sometimes a small amount for flavoring.  It's less sodium than "real food" (what we eat) and I can control exactly what goes into them.  But the main reason is it's just extremely convenient.[/quote]
