ChooMee SoftSip Food Pouch Tops | 100% Silicone | 2 CT

I think this is a lifesaver!

I so wanted to like these and was desperate when I bought them, as my then 11 month old was not eating and I was so weak providing all her breastmilk for her. I was also struggling with the letting her be messy with her food, as was her dad, as we hate seeing hard cooked food go on the floor (she just out right throws it off her high chair defiantly).This all came after a really great start to weaning, were she'd eat the Annabel Karmel pouches from Lidl happily with me spoon feeding her, as well as home cooked pureed veg.At 10ish months though she just decided that she wanted the spoon but didn't know how to use it and the battle and mess began!So this product is the only one I could find of its kind and is an American design.It screws on with a bit of pressure to the open pouch with about 4 twists and downward pressure and then stays on firmly with a push on top that my baby seemed more interested in than the spout.I have eaten using it to see what my baby would have to do, and you have to suck and use your teeth or gums as well, to move the food up the packet.Because of these skills being required, I think it's better suited to older babies, or ones that are happy to let you help a bit with pushing the food up, so the pouch doesn't fold over.Here is the problem though. The thicker, lumpy 2nd stage foods get a bit stuck through this spout. You have to use your teeth and suck quote hard to dislodge the bottleneck at times. That is hard for a baby and more something a talking, reasoning toddler would be better suited to. Smooth food is fine though.I wouldn't use them to secure drinks unless they are thick milk smoothie based one's, and then I'd carefully store them in a chilled Tupperware if taking out and about.They seem easy to clean and rinse right through. Be careful sterilising them if you still want to do that and only leave in for the minimum time needed as silicone does etch away and go cloudy with sterilising. I only learnt that after leaving nipple shields and bottle teats in over night and seeing them cloud up. I feel this product just needs a bit of soap and a wash through using a bottle brush.I think they are very expensive for what they are but you're paying for the patent and it being from America. For some reason Britain doesn't have access to innovative products from the US without big premiums and I guess they still have manufacturing plants to make their ideas, unlike here.Finally these would be great for adults too, out and about, with the refillable pouches and for caring for older folk.

I Rarely write reviews, but I can’t recommend these enough. I bought them for my 10 month old, he likes to feed himself and still working on his spoon skills. But honestly there sooo useful i wish I’d know about them sooner!We love them. I just attach it on a veg or fruit pouch (smooth only) and he sits there happily feeding himself with little to no mess. Perfect for quick snacks/lunches on the go or lazy days at home 🙃.

This is the 2nd pack I have purchased ... we lost the others.These are great to let little ones feed themselves their fruit pouches, they won’t work with anything textured or lumpy.We use these with the Ella’s kitchen fruit pouches.Would highly recommend

While I really like these as they stop little one from squeezing the pouch and creating a lot of mess, you do have to suck on them quite hard.

My little one tends to chew on the plastic nozzle of food pouches but he has no teeth yet, so this rubbery product helps protect his gums and at the same time avoid spillage when he decides to squeeze the life out of the pouch. Makes feeding a lot less messier. They are very easy to clean. They do not come off the pouch even though you just push these things on top of the plastic nozzle. Very pleased overall.
