How To Use Little Mashies Reusable Food Pouches

The Little Mashies Reusable Food Pouches are so easy to use there is little instruction required. But if you're new to reusable squeezies, here is a guide on how to use them. 

Filling your Little Mashies Food Pouches

• Step 1 - Ensure the lid of the Little Mashies food pouches is on and closed before opening the bottom ziplock closure. Spoon or pour your puree mix into the pouch until it fills to the guide line. You can use a funnel for thicker purees if easier. 
• Step 2 - Close the ziplock by pressing it together with your fingers. Now offer it to your child to enjoy! 

Keeping food in Little Mashies Food Pouches 

• You can store filled Little Mashies Reusable Food Pouches in the fridge - time dependant on the food you've used. 
• You can also freeze the food pouches. To defrost, simply run them under warm water or place into a bowl of lukewarm water. 

Cleaning your Little Mashies Reusable Food Pouches

• Step 1 - Open the ziplock and undo the lid. Turn on the tap and run water through the pouch. 
• Step 2 - Put in washing liquid and use a bottle brush to clean. 
• Step 3 - To dry, with the ziplock open and cap off place a large spoon or spatula inside the pouch. Sit it in a glass on the window sill overnight to allow for airflow.

Note: The food pouches can be placed in the dishwasher to clean, however, this will reduce their lifespan and hand washing is recommended. 

 

Storing your Little Mashies Food Pouches 

Little Mashies Reusable Food Pouches should only be stored when completely dried and in a dry cupboard or draw. 

We recommend you keep the cap on for safe keeping, but leave the zip lock open.
