[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 7. We never did purees and I don't think I ever actually bought a pouch, though she's had them at parties. We had plenty of reasons to avoid them-- not because any of those reasons make a HUGE difference ($, environment, incremental exposure to real food and textures), but we didn't see any huge advantage to pouches either, so just had no compelling reason in the net. But as for why some people might judge others for it... I think part of it is that they're just *new*. People like to think "my [older] kids never needed those things!" Or "kids have survived with REAL FOOD for thousands of years," etc. In some cases it's honestly neophobia. Like with tablets-- which our family also doesn't have, for well-thought-our reasons. But I know many who don't have them simply because they're suspicious of any sort of new technology. Perhaps not entirely without merit-- but then they justify it like it's not mostly irrational paranoia. My 2 cents. [/quote]
