Squeezable pouches & fruit purées in a range of varieties

Frequently asked questions about squeeze pouches

When can I start giving my baby squeeze pouches?
You can introduce squeeze pouches once your baby is comfortable eating solid foods. These smooth fruit or vegetable purées make a lovely addition to their regular diet, provided they are low in sugar (6 to 8 g per 100 g is fine).

Why are squeeze pouches so convenient when you're out and about?
Thanks to their compact size, squeeze pouches fit easily into any handbag or nappy bag. Your baby can hold them independently, although they may squeeze too hard at first and accidentally squirt out the purée. They're also easy to enjoy at the playground or in the pushchair.

What should I look for when choosing squeeze pouches for my toddler?
Choose pouches with no added sugar that get their naturally mild flavour from fruit or vegetables. This helps your toddler become familiar with different flavours and encourages a varied diet. Pumpkin Organics offers pouches containing a balanced mix of fruit and vegetables.

How often can my toddler have a fruit pouch?
Squeeze pouches are best offered as an occasional snack. One pouch a day is plenty, helping to ensure your toddler still has an appetite for regular meals and solid foods such as pieces of fruit or bread at the family table.

How should I store opened squeeze pouches?
Simply close the opened pouch with its handy screw cap and store it in the fridge. Make sure your toddler finishes the remaining purée by the following day at the latest.
