How long will i use this system for as I think we only give babies purees between 4-6months &amp; i've read you can't put lumpy mixtures in the bags?

If there are any chunks it will not go in through the cylinder into the pouch. My baby is 8 months old and I still feed her purees. I mix her fruit with cereal in the morning. Even if I only use it for 4-6 months, I feel it is totally worth it for the fresh food. I plan on using it past age 1 for fruit on the go. Just like those applesauce pouches you buy.

I do not recommend it. You don't want to mix different temperature breastmilk into the same container. For instance if you pumped 1 ounce put it in the fridge and then you pump again an hour or so later, you have to refrigerate the newly pumped milk and then you could mix it together once they have both been in the fridge. I would use a new bag for each time you pump.

Our Son is 10 months old and believe me, it gets expensive at this point.... but! One thing we are doing now since he's older is we mix the soy with half whole milk (good for brain development per pediatrician). We originally did this because he didn't like the soy (or any formula straight), but now he loves it and it keeps a little money in our pockets with not having to go a full bottle each time. :) Good Luck!

Honey B. I take the solids out after about 15 episodes, the liquid is dissolved in the wonderful crystals. With my BabyDoll, the entire collection unit is changed about every 30-40 days. No smell! No mess! Less touch. Hope that this helps. GJG

That is a good question. So far my supply has lasted six months. But a competitors' natural shampoo purchased to trial has started to turn rancid. Hence my comment of good question as I just noticed that the other day when I thought I really ought to use that other brand shampoo up and noticed the objectionable smell while shampooing. So you definitely have 6 months. I still have 3 bottles form the same batch unopened so probably can extend that to 8-9 months testing before supply exhausts.

I wouldn't go beyond what would be normal for left overs. So maybe 3-5 days. However they are freezer safe so you can make a bunch of baby food up and then freeze a ton. This never ends up working for us, I only have 4 pouches and my son is 12mos, so we go through all four in one day :)

Not really. I got a finer puree of peas by using baby peas (petite pois), the skins are softer, but you will still be left with a puree with texture. For things like blueberries you will have to cook them and pass them through a seive if you want a really fine puree. Both my boys were fine with the skins left in but it will depend on what your baby prefers.

It depends on how loose your kiddos stools are. It did us fine unless my kiddo was sick and even at that I think I only had to hand wash 4 cloth diapers before throwing in the wash. I did not introduce solids for at least 6mos and that was just to get him used to different tastes. I think my kiddo was a year old before he was getting most of his nourishment from solids. We breast fed until the 4th birthday. I would say that if they are mostly runny otherwise we did fine. I must say that I was a finicky changer. I don't like to touch poo so we changed seconds after a BM.

It all depends on each child. Mine for example in the first 5 months used to poo only once a day. Now you can do what we did, buy two of these and have as many cloth diapers as you can have, and just change the cloth diaper but no need to change the wrap until it becomes soiled. hope this helps.

about 4-6 months, you only use about a tablespoon each fill and generally refill every two weeks

My most recent shipment doesn't expire until March 2015. If you use it like you are supposed to you go through two bags per month of the Vi mix. That is if you take two shakes a day using two scoops in your shake.

I have been using this for about 5months. I use this just for my cloth diapers which I was 2-3 times per week and so far I have only used 1/4 of the box, if that. I only use about 1 teaspoon or so per load.

Well I use it for baby formula and with newborns it took about 2-3 days to go through a batch. I haven't really ever had enough made to go longer than that. I probably wouldn't go longer than 4-5 days personally.

I am not sure since I never tried anything besides sweet potato and apple purees in these OXO containers. Why not use the special disposable freezer bags from medela for it and thaw it and mix it with solids/purees when you are ready to feed the baby?

I'd recommend keeping it no longer than 3 months. The instructions says that it'll stay activated for 3-4 months. However, that doesn't that it'll last that long. If your water quality is really poor, I'd recommend you change the bag out sooner.

I only have the plastic bag left date was on box.. hàve had ours 6 to 12 months ßtill just as good. Makes good gravy. I use milk with it instead of water.

My baby is 7 months and I am still using the smalls overnight in my BumGenius diapers with the newborn insert behind it. I find it is not too bulky that way and it lasts 12 hours without soaking through.
