9 Best Baby Food Pouches That Are Yummy And Squeeze-Packed With All The Nutrition

Co-founded by beloved actress and mom of three, Jennifer Garner, comes this seriously impressive brand of baby food pouches. To kick off the laundry list of reasons why your little one needs these pouches in her life is the fact that the ingredients list is literally only what you’d expect — no added preservatives, sugar or weird ingredients you have no idea how to pronounce. Everything is 100 percent organic and only filled with the wholesome and healthy items listed on the front of the pouch. Another major perk, especially in this allergy-prone day and age, is the fact that all of their pouches are dairy free. This variety pack comes with 12 pouches of assorted flavors, and is also available as a 24 pack. You’ll never find a leftover here, as we moms have been known to suck up the last squeeze— they’re that good.

Us mamas know that the first three years mean everything when it comes to development, so good food is everything. Cerebelly goes way beyond what we think is healthy. Created by a neurosurgeon (with a PhD in Developmental Neurobiology), Cerebelly has created the first ever science based baby food that nourishes specific regions of the brain based on age and developmental milestones. There are 10 flavors, including favorites such as: Sweet Potato Mango, White Bean Apple Pumpkin, and Spinach Apple Sweet Potato, all with added nutrients from superfoods such as chlorella, squash seeds, and algae oil. It is also the first-ever shelf stable children’s food brand (no fridge or freezer necessary) to receive the Clean Label Project Purity Award, an honor only bestowed after products are tested for over 400 contaminants and heavy metals and meet the organization’s highest standard. This is truly baby food you can feel good about; and you have a neurosurgeon mama to thank!

There, I said it,” wrote mytvc15 who has an autoimmune disease that makes it painful for her to eat certain foods. 

Even when kids hit the toddler stage, they still want to consume the bulk of their nutrition in pouch form.

Gerber is one of the oldest and most trusted baby food brands that has been around since 1927.

This line is recommended for babies who are sitting (so, around 6 months and older), and incorporates a mix of quality tested USDA certified organic fruits and veggies with no added starch, artificial flavors or artificials colors that are non-GMO. They have a smart flow spout that makes feeding way easier—and spoonless. This pack contains 6 pouches of each of their best flavor: apple, blueberry and spinach, carrot, apple and mango and pear, peach and strawberry. It is worth noting that these pouches are slightly smaller than other pouches—at 3.5 ounces versus the usual 4 ounces.
