My daughter is 6 months old I use hienz 6months + jars and my daughter loves them
Don't feel bad! The good ones are no different to you cooking the food and putting it in a pouch.
I alternate between them and home cooked. Mainly because he’s a greedy little so and so and will stuff his face until he’s sick if I give him home cooked food. When I give him the pre made ones he knows when it’s gone that’s it other than his yogurt or fruit for pudding
I've always used them they're convenient gets them used to different tastes and saves time. Fed is best is the motto I live by.
My 8 month old has pouches for breakfast and lunch atm he will have home cooked meals for tea and some mornings I will make him fresh porridge or Wheatabix
I don’t use them a lot but I do defo have them in the house and will use them when I can’t be bothered to cook or I always taken them out with me if we go out for the day! X
We used them a couple of times per week between about 9 months and 14 months. Our daughter loved them, and always ate them well!
I’ve not used them but I understand the frustration! I’ll cook a nice healthy meal only for my baby to reject it. Recently what I’ve been doing is, I’ve been roasted vegetables & making finger foods which she prefers. I’ve been making smoothies and putting it in reusable pouches too! Maybe try this? Good luck!
