1. My toddler wants more independence so letting him choose his animal and hold his own snack not only gives him confidence but nutrition
2. Aid giving liquid medicine (iron supplement). I add the supplement to the mixture, put in the bag and down it goes. This saves easily 20 minutes of our day vs trying to spoon feed him it!
I am so far very impressed with the seal on these. The fear of a pouch popping open was what prevented me from buying reusable pouches for a while but I have had no issues with these. In fact, the only con for me is that the bottom seal can actually be difficult to open! I have been using these daily with high performance every day- I would recommend these and am happy with the purchase.
Pros
+ Cost effective- the price in store (at least 50¢ a pouch) adds up big time!
+ Variety of options- we have made so many different combinations of fruits, veggies (spinach has been great to include because you can't taste it AT ALL- I was SHOCKED), yogurt, applesauce etc
+ No mess- stays sealed
+ Pleasant designs
+Easy to clean- I use a bottle brush for the pouch part and the nipple cleaning part for the spout and cap
Cons
- the seal is TIGHT (again, just what I was looking for) but this makes it difficult to open when it's time to clean! It took me a few tries to figure out a method
TIPS
1. Put cap on before filling
2. Get small spoon and scoop in (so easy)
3. Pre mix before putting in pouch- you can get it to mix in the pouch if combining ingredients but it takes longer
4. Fold the empty part of the bottom over when filling it (think tooth paste tube that you are trying to get all paste to the usable part) to be able to get the most possible in
