Go Fresh Baby Reusable Food Pouch 3 or 6 pack Refillable Recyclable Food Storage
Finally, a semi-reusable food pouch that's economical and eco-friendly! Perfect for organic purees, homemade fruit smoothies, yogurt treats and more, while at home or on-the-go! The GoFreshBaby reusable food pouch is made of a heavy duty food grade plastic that is puncture resistant, BPA-free & Phthalate-free. Featuring a leak-resistant double-zip closure embedded into the seal at an angle that reduces pressure buildup and a top spout design that kids love! Measuring lines on the semi-translucent pouch make portion control a breeze and a sturdy bottom gusset expands to hold 5 oz (150ml) of semi-solid food as well as allows the pouch to stand upright when full!
The GoFreshBaby food pouch has a very secure double zip seal closure that prevents the pouch from opening or rupturing under pressure. To open, unscrew the cap and blow air into the pouch until bottom gusset is fully expanded. Pull apart the double zip closure by applying firm pressure with thumbs directly at the seal. Be careful not to tear the zip seal lining by pulling at the tab extensions aggressively!
Filling the pouch is easy and convenient thanks to the double zip seal opening and expandable bottom gusset. To fill, open the reusable pouch and be sure the bottom gusset is completely expanded. Hold pouch so that the zip seal opening faces up with the cap securely tightened. Pour semi-solid food directly into the opening using a measuring cup or funnel. Seal and wipe away any excess food.
To clean, we recommend washing by hand in warm soapy water. A bottle brush is great for cleaning the inside and hard to reach areas around the expandable bottom gusset. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry completely. Top rack dishwasher safe!

Best Baby Food Pouches (Easy Homemade Ideas)
Learn how to make homemade Baby Food Pouches, no muss, no fuss, with these 15 easy recipe ideas.
These are a great way to save money, share lots of flavors with babies and toddlers, and have convenient foods ready to go!
Baby Food Pouches
I always made my own baby food pouches because I like how affordable they are and how once you have a set of reusable pouches, there are so many options! Plus, you can feed many things you’re making for the rest of the family in a pouch, which means you can share flavors with the little ones even if they aren’t quite up to finger foods yet.
I view baby food pouches as one component of feeding a baby and like to mix purees with baby led weaning as a way to expose baby to a wide variety of flavors and textures from an early age.
I also find them very convenient for offering smoothies well into the toddler years!
Ingredients in You Need
What you need for your pouch adventure will depend on what you want to feed your baby! Basically you need something pureed (or a food like yogurt or applesauce that has a very pouch-friendly texture already) and a reusable pouch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s the general gist of how to make a baby food pouch. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for recipe ideas and best tips!
- Choose your puree and prepare it. Let it cool as needed. (Or pull out the yogurt or applesauce.)
- Fill the pouch, making sure that the cap is on if using the kind with the zipper opening on the bottom. (Otherwise it will all run right out the top!)
- Store in the fridge or serve to baby.
TIP: As a quick an easy snack option, I like to mix half yogurt and half applesauce right in the pouch.
What can I put into a baby food pouch?
You just need the food to be smooth enough that it easily passes through the opening of the pouch, so anything that’s pureed or the consistency of pureed soup or yogurt will work. Generally speaking you can do:
- Applesauce
- Fruit purees
- Vegetable purees
- Baby food combinations
- Pureed meats
- Pureed soups
- Smoothies
- Yogurt
TIP: You can also use any of my go-to Baby Food Combinations too!
Making apple yogurt in a bowlFlavor Ideas for Baby Food Pouches
These are some of my favorite recipe ideas to add to a pouch.
- Applesauce
- Apple Flax Yogurt: Equal parts Apple Puree and plain yogurt, plus a sprinkle of ground flax.
- Baby Oatmeal with Applesauce mixed in for flavor.
- Banana Yogurt
- Pear Coconut Puree: Pear Puree with full-fat coconut milk mixed in.
- Pear Yogurt: Equal parts Pear Puree and plain yogurt.
- Red Lentil Coconut Soup
- Sweet Potato Tomato Soup
- Mango Smoothie
- Mashed Butternut Squash
- Mashed Roasted Sweet Potato
- Spinach-Pea Puree (alone or with Applesauce)
- Simple Green Smoothie
- Strawberry Smoothie
- Veggie Chili, pureed smooth
TIP: For the foods, like soup, that you’d usually serve warm, you can serve them warm in a pouch too. Just be sure they are warm and not hot. Test on your wrist like you would a baby bottle.
How long can I store baby food pouches?
I recommend making them 24 hours ahead or less so they are as fresh as possible. But you can make batches of purees and stash them in the freezer, so the pouch assembly part is quick and easy.
Do I need a baby food pouch maker?
Honestly? No. I tried one and didn’t like it because it took up space in my cabinets and the pouches themselves weren’t reusable, which seemed like a waste and a lot of money. Using reusable pouches is easy and more affordable.
What are the best reusable pouches?
I prefer the silicone Squeasy Gear pouch, which comes in a few sizes (I start with the 3.5 ounce size for babies). It’s easy to learn from as early as 6 or 7 months and the kids can use them for smoothies and applesauce well through toddlerhood as they are very durable. You may want to remove the lid when serving to kids so they don’t play with it.
I also like this set of 3.4 ounce Weesprouts reusable pouches a lot, which are a nice size for babies (there is a larger size too!) and they are easy to clean and use.
Favorite Store-bought Baby Food
There are so many great store bought options! I like the Amara Organic Baby Food (paid affiliate link), which locks in the nutrients, texture, and taste of fresh foods.
You just add breastmilk, formula, or water— and the flavors are delicious with straight forward ingredients.
I also like Happy Family Organics Clearly Crafted and Plum Organics. Those are just a few options—there is a lot to choose from as you well know from the baby food aisle!
TIP: I recommend serving pouches occasionally along with regular solids from a spoon and baby led weaning style so baby has a chance to learn how to suck, swallow, move all sorts of textures around in their mouths, and gain the skills needed to be ready for finger foods around 9 months.
How to Store
Store pre-made pouches in the fridge for up to 5 days. Store leftover pouches in the fridge for up to 24 hours and serve again. You can also freeze pouches for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature.
Best Tips for Success
- If using a pouch with a zipper bottom, like this one from Wee Sprout, avoid overfilling to prevent difficulty sealing the pouch.
- Be sure the mixture is totally smooth to avoid it becoming stuck in the opening of the pouch.
- Add ½ teaspoon hemp seeds to any mixture for extra healthy fats.
- Add 2 tablespoons full fat coconut cream or plain yogurt to the mashed sweet potato or squash for healthy fats.
- Try any other Baby Food Combination or my No-Cook Baby Foods in a pouch.
- Serve foods you’d usually serve warm (like soups) just warm, not hot. Test on your wrist to be sure the temperature is not hot.
- Omit any added salt or sweeteners as needed.
- Combine pouches with baby led weaning foods for a wide range of texture exposure.

Happy Baby reusable pouches Baby food storage bags - “We save on pouches, take them with you on the road, I’ll tell you how to sterilize and care! + ideas where else you can use these pouches”
In the summer we are practically never at home, we walk all the time, most often very far from home, naturally I take snacks for children with me, mashed potatoes in spiders are an integral part of a walk or a trip with a small child.
Now there is an opportunity to save (to some extent), take care of the environment thanks to reusable bags for baby food from happy baby.
Why them?
- I arranged the price, 299₽ for 5 bags and 5 caps;
- Optimum volume 180 gr;
- Ease of use;
- Consuming smart, using a more convenient container for feeding my baby does not harm the environment and does not produce more waste.
The bags are very thoughtful in use, from filling to care. It is possible to purchase an additional nozzle in the form of a spoon, I did not buy it, because I do not see the point in it.
There is a place to sign what kind of product, for whom and the date of preparation. The design is quite nice, more neutral, a convenient viewing window and a measuring scale.
Of the whole set, I actively use one bag for fruit purees and one for vegetables, after using mine as soon as possible, sterilize and dry.
It can be used for cereals, vegetable purees, for self-made purees, for freezing food. For those who are afraid that the packages are not sterile enough, I suggest just taking a jar of sterilized food, this food bag, and pour everything just before use. So you will be calmer about the freshness of the product.
In the future, I plan to store berries mashed with sugar in these doypacks (first I freeze, then the reverse process and, accordingly, eating), homemade sauces, a small volume - the product will not have time to deteriorate and will be quickly eaten! The main thing is you can indulge, your own, homemade?
Many people have difficulties with washing, they don’t happen to me, everything is quite easy, it’s allowed to wash in the PM, but I do it with my hands using a bottle brush, I need the smallest one for the nipple. Many people think that since the ban on the use of a microwave oven means that it cannot be sterilized.
I sterilize the bag in the good old "grandmother's" way - with boiling water and hot steam, then dry the bag using a bottle dryer, everything is straightened and dried out there, I douse it with steam and pour puree before use.
Closes quite tightly, and the lid and lock, for a month of active use, there were no embarrassments. It does not absorb odors from food, the only thing is that if you wash it with a very vigorous dish detergent, it will smell a little, but this does not affect the taste.
Putting mashed potatoes or porridge into it is quite simple, but at first you need to get used to it, the neck is quite narrow, it is not very convenient to scoop with a spoon, over time I somehow got used to pouring mashed potatoes without spilling and without a spoon. But I repeat, you need to adjust when you poured it for the first time from a spoon, wanted to spit and take a funnel?
Today I “loaded” an afternoon snack, vegetable puree to take with me for a walk.
