Title: Gerber Baby Food
Post by: Leah's Mom on September 14, 2005, 18:02:46 pm

With the second Gerber food fruits, there are all these "deserts" Hawaiin Delight, Peach Cobler etc. Someone told me they used these as their fruit for the day (DD gets fruit for lunch, vege for supper). It seems weird to feed her desert for lunch. What does everyone else use these deserts for? When do you feed them?

I have never fed the desserts to my ds.  The number 2 ingredient in most of them is sugar, and I just never saw a reason to serve that, when he could be eating regular fruit.

I'm with Tonya...I didn't see the point of giving them to Tyler because they have sugar, not just fruit. I want to teach him healthy eating habits, and sugary dessert isn't part of that for me!

Christine-I'm with the other posters.  I have a friend who serves these "desserts" with lunch and dinner, but I don't plan on it due to the sugar.  HTH

Thanks for all the replies! I too looked at how many grams of sugar they have and that is why I haven't fed them to DD. But of course, you get the people who try to tell you what to do. Next time I will just go with what I think and not what people tell me! Thanks!!!!

Hey Christine!!
I'm with the others too.... :wink:  I never understood why they even make them????  :roll:

But then again, my MIL thinks that all pudding, eclairs, icecream, etc. is perfectly fine for a 4mos old  :x

As does mine! At a birthday party this weekend, MIL tried to give DD a BIG bite of the frosting from her cake before I intervened. I thought, WTF? Don't give her frosting, especially not at 6 at night!!!!!!!!!  :x
