Abstract

Pureed complementary feeding products packed in squeezable plastic pouches, usually with a spout and a screw cap, have been increasingly marketed for infants and young children. The Committee on Nutrition recommends that infants and young children should not suck pureed or liquid foods from a plastic pouch. Complementary foods should be offered with a spoon or should be fed by the child's hand. Infants and young children should be given the opportunity to get to know a variety of foods and food textures including pieces of foods, supported by a responsive interaction between the child and parents or other care givers. The marketed complementary foods in squeezable plastic pouches often have a high energy density and predominantly extremely high sugar contents up to almost 90% of the total energy contents. Regular consumption bears the risks of an imbalanced nutrient supply and increased risks for dental caries and overweight. Complementary foods for infants and young children should have a balanced composition following the recommendations of the German Society of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ) and should contain only limited amounts of sugar. The feeding of pureed complementary foods from squeezable plastic pouches is discouraged.
