Making homemade baby food? Try storing in a reusable pouch

When my two-year-old was an infant I made all of her baby food. To many it seemed like a lot of work, but I thought it was easy because I did most of my cooking one day a week and then froze it all. However, there was one tiny hurdle of making my food though, and that was traveling with it.

In a pinch I would buy disposable food pouches so she could eat on the go, but that got costly fast. I’m so happy to have learned of Squooshi so I don’t make that same mistake once my son starts eating solids in a few months.

Squooshi is a reusable food pouch for baby food that can hold all of your favorite homemade recipes. They come in adorable packaging, so even a picky eater will want to use it!

Squooshi was kind enough to send me a sample of their product to test out. I received the assorted 4 pack for review.

The assorted pack contains two small pouches that can hold 2.5 ounces, and two large pouches that hold 4.5 ounces.

Here’s how it works:

Gather your favorite ingredients, cooked or raw. Puree or mash to a consistency of thick applesauce.

Next, fill your Squooshi ¾ full with chilled or room temperature mixture. Grab and go or freeze for later.

And because it’s reusable, just pop it in the dishwasher or wash by hand. I love that you can use it again and again.

My daughter just adores the animals on the pouches. She likes to pick her food by which animal pouch she wants to eat from that day. I know I’m going to have to buy four more pouches once my 11 week old starts eating solids, they definitely won’t want to share! 🙂

Cool Squooshi features:

* Extra sturdy zip-lock bottom for easy-to-fill and easy-to-clean convenience & usability.
* Unique designs make even picky eaters happy.
* Compatible with spoon attachments.
* Great for baby food, yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies and more.
* Freeze, store and serve from the same container. No more freezer cubes needed!
* Made BPA-free, PVC-free, Lead-free, Phthalate-free with puncture resistant plastic.
