If I have the time, fresh is still the best. Even if I freeze and thaw, I know when is it made. I would also want to control what goes into the preparation and cooking process. I will avoid packaged food unless I'm stuck in a situation that I cannot cook for my LO ie in a foreign land and yet to find a supermarket to do groceries and cook for LO.
I think pouch food is fine if you have no time. I have many friends including myself giving baby bottled or pouch food esp when we have no time. Of cos that being said, fresh organic food is still the best if you have time.
