Why I Choose Gerber® For My Family

Sponsored

August 26, 2015

When it comes to babies first foods I have relied on Gerber® for the past 10 years. Breast milk or formula is the best nutrition the first 4-6 months of baby’s life, but when they are ready, I trusted Gerber® for the introduction of solids. Gerber® Rice Cereal was all four of my babies’ first food. I feel good knowing that my babies are getting the nutrients from Gerber® cereals (especially iron) that breast milk alone could no longer meet as their nutritional needs change. Did you know that at about six months of age, the iron stores babies are born with deplete and need to be replenished?  Gerber® cereal is an excellent source of iron for a child’s healthy brain development.

Gerber® Cereal is as versatile as it is nutritious. Mix it with Gerber® baby food or pureed fruits/veggies. As they are getting older I still use it just as much. The rice cereal thickens up soups beautifully. They want to feed themselves and soup alone is such a mess but with a little help from Gerber® they are happily and independently feeding themselves. And when I make smoothies I add either Gerber® Rice or Oatmeal Cereal to a bowl with the smoothie for a delicious and filling breakfast or super snack for my twins since they can’t drink that out of the straw too easily yet. I also mix applesauce with pumpkin and a pinch of cinnamon for a great fall treat. Pretty much anything that is too runny gets some Gerber® Cereal added to it. There are so many more great things you can do with these Gerber® products – why don’t you share your favorites in the comments below.

We all want to give our children the best. With Gerber® you can feel confident knowing that spoon for spoon no other baby food contributes more nutrients to a baby’s diet than Gerber® Cereals. They pack 10 essential vitamins + minerals into each spoonful. I choose the best for my babies. Do you?
