Review on Kiinde Foodii Homemade Squeeze Pouch System: Baby Food Maker with Reusable Spouts, Spoons, and Food Storage Pouch Starter Kit for Babies and Toddlers by Ben Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great kit for homemade baby food

I haven't bought milk bags and never pumped enough to use for milk but I have plenty of bags left so I decided to use them for baby food. and this is where it really shines. I make my own baby food by steaming anything that needs steaming in the microwave or Instant Pot, then adding all the ingredients to a bottle and pureeing with an immersion blender. The squeeze bottle works a lot better than I thought for filling pouches. We also have two kiinde funnels from my mixing experiments that also work fine when I'm mixing or mixing in another container. Since I have twins, freezing food in 6 ounce portions works as we can split the package and let 2 meals go through. For just one child, a 6-ounce bag may be too much until their food intake increases. I've had no trouble freezing food in bags, but I always try to leave enough room for expansion when freezing. We've never used a spoon attachment since we gave our kids their own spoons; We use the nozzle spout to squeeze out the food. The spout is wide enough for thicker purees, not just purees. We hope they soon learn to eat straight from the bags. One benefit of store-bought pouches is that they don't need to be refrigerated before opening, requiring an ice pack for the on-the-go snack. Packages cannot be reused, which is another consideration. However, they are fully recyclable and I think we'll switch from puree/puree to table service before using all the pouches I have (from the pump set + this set). Update: One star removed because after only a few weeks we stopped using them. It wasn't cost effective compared to grocery bags when they were on sale. They also don't take ChooMee bite valves. We ended up using a combination of grocery bags and homemade groceries in reusable bags, and will likely continue to offer snacks (but not groceries) this way when we're young.
