gerber baby food

just look at the ingredients…should be ok?

I’m with Laura, just check the labels and you should be ok. I fed my older son gerber and he was and is just fine. Sometimes Ifed beechnut or whatever. Just want to point out that when they start table food most of the food has an even higher sodium content, it’s really not that big of a deal (to me anyway). I just know that I have a very healthy 7 year old who ate gerber for his first foods, so I’m judgeing things, nutrition wise on that. Plus, in the grand scheme of things, they aren’t (usually) eating baby food for a very long time before (most babies) move on to table food. SO I would just check the labels for soy lechtin which isn’t in any of the plain veggies or fruit. Soemtimes I bought frozen veggies and mashed them in a food grinder, they have a different taste/texture and it’s good for them to get used to a variety of tastes, even if it’s the same food! (frozen peas taste SO different from baby food peas)

yes gerber cereals have hidden ingredients-

gotta read those labels…

even some gerber jarred foods have milk or soy ingredients- like creamed spinach (that’s pretty obvious)

You know it is funny, my daughter was undaignosed MSPI (she does drink milk now) and she did much worse on Beechnut foods!! Go figure! I know that the cereal has soy lechin in it, but I don’t think it has any hidden dairy. As for hidden dairy in some other foods, yes they have them, but to my recollection (which, consitering I have huge mommy brain could be wrong) so does Beechnut. You just have to read labels. Both brands, from what I saw, were very good about labeling for any dairy or soy. As for sodium…well I must admit I didn’t even look at that…when Brianna got serious stomach cramps from Beechnut, the last thing I even thought about was sodium! Good luck!
