I wish they'd had these a few years ago when my youngest was still a baby. I made his baby food, so these would have been so handy to have. I use them for myself now. Due to diet changes, I've been eating a lot more homemade nut butters. I don't want to have to mess with a spoon, especially while traveling, so I needed a solution. These popped up in the search results, and the included funnel sold me on the product vs. others.It's easy to use, and the funnel makes it easier. It's fairly easy to clean, though you might want a bottle brush, or something to get in the corners. Make sure you open the expanding flap at the bottom to fully fill the product.It works well with nut butters as long as they have a smooth consistency and aren't too thick. The picture on the right is homemade sunbutter, which works well with these. The picture on the left is of Wild Friends Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter, and it is super easy to suck out of the pouch.I've discovered they also work well with yogurt, applesauce, juice, and smoothies, if you're on the go. They would probably work fine with pureed soups as long as you cooled them off some first too. I haven't tried that. You might get some funny looks sucking on a "baby food" pouch, but do you care? I don't. :)Bottom line: Convenient, fairly easy to fill (don't lose the funnel!), pretty easy to clean, and works well with items that have the proper consistency. I'd give 4.5 stars since cleaning the "neck" is a bit of a pain, but highly recommended, and not just for kids.

First of all, my daughter isn’t quite old enough to use these yet, so I haven’t tried filling or emptying them and can’t say how good they are in those respects. I did run them through the dishwasher, which worked well. They took a long time to dry out, but that’s not too surprising. They are exactly as I expected - no quality concerns. The thing that made me most excited was that they came in a reusable zipper bag! Thank you for reducing packaging waste!Update 6/11/19 -These things are great! With the little funnel, they’re a breeze to fill. I usually put in about half a cup, and it fits great without any mess. You can probably technically get 7 oz in there, but I think you’d have a mess when zipping it up. They’re pretty easy to clean, though it’s definitely easier if you rinse them out promptly so the food doesn’t dry in there.

These pouches are very convenient. I mostly use them for yogurt and fruit purees. They are a faster and less messy way for a toddler to feed themselves. They also work well for travel.I would not recommend running them through the dishwasher, since my dishwasher will leave soap residue in the corners. However, the side zipper is big enough that it is easy to use a sponge or bottle brush to clean them by hand.The lines on the side indicating fill level are very helpful and the filling cuff works well to keep the zipper clean for sealing.

I am so happy I got these for my daughter. We use them DAILY and they are super easy to zip up, clean and reuse. I also LOVE the blue plastic ring that comes with it to help getting the pouches filled (helps make food prep so much easier for us parents!) these are great for when we travel or going somewhere all day where we need extra food. we will mix banana, baby oatmeal, formula and water as a pouch for breakfast OR puréed zucchini with apple sauce for lunch. Sometimes even when I’m home, instead of wasting a disposable apple sauce pouch from the store, I just use a jar of apple sauce and put it in these pouches as a snack for at home. These are super nice quality & they’re big enough to fit a full meal. This is a must have item, in my opinion, if you’re going to meal prep food for your baby.

These are a daily necessity in our house. Our 10 month old is picky and gets bored of eating quickly so these make it easy to make her baby food, and store whatever is left for later that day. As warned, the nozzle can be a little hard to clean if left to sit instead of washing right away, but I have found if you soak the nozzle/ opening in water in a cup for a bit, then wash, any hard parts come right off with a soapy bottle brush And warm water. The inside is easy to clean with a bottle brush too as long as it’s not left to sit in open air (again, soak if it is). I always take the caps off and prop each one open to dry after cleaning. We don’t have a dishwasher, but hand washing them hasn’t been to hard at all. We’ve used them every day for weeks and they are holding up quite well!

I really enjoy this product. I think they are easy to use, and very convenient for making your own baby food and saving money. I do wish they came in different sizes, as the 7 oz. pouch can be a little big for infant hands. My son managed very well though, so it did not keep me from using them daily.Cleaning takes a little time, but I have developed a good and easy method for cleaning, so that isn't a major inconvenience. I did want to mention a tip for cleaning. I apologize if anyone else has already mentioned this. I found the hardest part to clean was the outside of the nozzle. I discovered that if you use a tooth brush, you can easily remove food remnants. I got a new toothbrush specifically for cleaning the pouches and leave it by my sink. It is so handy, and makes cleaning even faster!

I got these the other night. They went right into the dishwasher and cleaned up like a dream. I was really impressed with how thick the plastic was, and how wide these actually opened. I made pureed food as normal and was able to spoon it into the bag with out the funnel. The funnel made it really helpful to get food in without having to wipe the outside of the bags when I tried it out. They sealed up fabulously. My son is less than a year and has seven piranha teeth, he happily sucked down his food like normal and chewed all over the bag but made no rips in the bag. The bag seal also didn't blow out. :) I sent him to daycare with these and they made meal times super easy for his carer. I wish that I had gotten these sooner.
