Views on pre made food like Ella's kitchen pouches?

I don’t know personally, sorry, but have you read the ingredients? Legally, as a food item, all ingredients need to be listed (with largest quantity listed first). Probably the best way to make a judgement on it 🙂

I personally didn’t use things like this with my first and don’t intend to use them this time.

For me, I just found it easier that baby eats a modified version of whatever we’re eating.

I’m sure they did a study on food pouches a few years ago which looked into the nutritional value (assuming you’re in the UK), might be worth a Google!

There’s a BBC panorama documentary about them - I personally wouldn’t give them regularly/ as a meal x

I didn't use them with my first and probably won't this time around. I made my own and then slowly over time started making things like Mac and cheese from carrot or parsnip purée etc which my two year old still eats now. I was always told to add in either your breastmilk or formula milk to the homemade purée so they have a familiar taste. I know it's not for everyone and the pouches are good for when you are out and about etc but the sugar content is usually very high for a baby

They’re handy as a backup if out and about. I might see if lune&wild offer similar though as they seem to be better quality.

I prefer the supermarket own brand ones and go for plainer options like carrots/peas just as an emergency

Personally I think there ok in times your stuck to grab things for time. But I do know that there is no British standard to the safety and expectations of yhe pouches etc so I prefer to aim for versions of what we are eating ourselves x

We haven’t given pouches, only the melty puffs etc. The pouches and jars of food are actually foul in my opinion and taste nothing like the real thing. I attended a weaning info party for my boy and we were given a mushed up banana and the Ella’s kitchen banana pouch and the difference was insane. Personally I batch make everything and pop it in the freezer, I understand they’re useful when you’re stuck and need something to give but personally wouldn’t buy them. They’re also much more expensive than if you were to make your own!
