Hello!

Hi MoMs I’m just starting out on solids for my first baby and need some advice.  Is baby food better in glass or a pouch? Is there any difference between baby food in glass bottles/jars versus the plastic sachets with a screw top lid? Is there any reason to choose one over the other? I want to make the right decision so wonder what other mums think. Thanks for your help

  • I really like and prefer glass containers. Much easier to keep clean & sterilise.


  • My personal preference is reusable glass containers.

  • I don’t think it makes any difference. They’re both re-sealable, they both have great flavours, they’re both made to high standards. The only thin I can think of to check is compare prices


  • I don’t think it matters at all. The pouch ones are usually emptied into a bowl to heat anyway


  • I remember when my cousins were younger all you could get was glass.
    I don’t think there is much of a difference as they all are heat treated. I guess it just comes down to the convenience, price and brand.


  • Pouches are handy! There really interesting comments on this!


  • I use the glass at home and the pouches when out and about. I like the fact the pouches are hard to break when travelling


  • I use the glass at home and the pouches when out and about. I like the fact the pouches are hard to break when teavelling


  • The food in the pouches had a bigger variety


  • I prefer glass I can see through it.


  • I like pouches but cant see any difference!


  • i think pouches are good till about 8mths. i think they are both fine though


  • I think there isn’t much difference, if you’re looking at it from a health point of view then they pass the Australian standards.


  • I think glass why they are eating of a spoon still because it usually works out cheaper, but once tey are able to suck, the pouches are so much easier:)
