Here are some recipes for reusable squeeze pouches. They could even be used for baby food and spoon fed. Another option is to fill a freezer safe plastic bag with 1/2 cup of the mixture, cut off the corner and gently squeeze it out for your baby or toddler. Little hands may be a little overzealous on the plastic baggie and you could end up with a huge puree squirt, so controlling this yourself may be best.
