To Make Baby Food Pouches

Fill the pouch, by pouring the puree through the opening on the bottom or placing it in small spoonfuls.
Make sure to stop at, or just below, the max fill line.
Gently close the pouch and wipe up any excess puree that got on the pouch. Serve to baby, or store in the fridge or freezer.
