| cbobbb's Full Review: Gerber Graduates Baby Food |
My son is now 15 months and thankfully food is becoming less of an issue than it has been in the past. As a young toddler Seth has been fussy with his "people foods" and has downright refused actual baby foods. Anyone with any toddler experience will not be surprised to read this, I am sure!
In the early days of encouraging Seth to eat finger foods I turned to Gerber Graduates - a Gerber line of foods specifically designed for toddlers.
The Graduate food line includes the following:
Fruit and Cereal Bars
Cereal Snacking Squares
Fruit Juice Snacks
Veggie Crackers
Microwave Meals
Juicy Smoothy
We have tried many of these products with our son, but by far the most successful in our house have been the Gerber Graduates Fruit and Cereal Bars.
Description of the Gerber Graduates Fruit and Cereal Bars
(1) These bars comprise of a soft oatmeal cookie that has a soft fruit filling. There are two flavors: Strawberry Banana and Apple Cinnamon. Seth's favorite flavor is Strawberry Banana.
(2) The bars are sold in boxes of 8 for approximately $2.70. Each bar is 17 grams and individually wrapped. They are great for carrying around in the diaper bag for snacks when you are on the move.
(3) Gerber Graduates foods are marked for your child's stage of development:
(A) Just right for Picking Up
(B) Just right for Sippy Cup
(C) Just right for Spooning
The fruit and cereal bars are "just right for picking up".
(4) One of the things that I love about these bars is the fact that they are very nutritious for toddlers. They contain no artificial flavors or preservatives and are made with natural ingredients. The fruit and cereal bars are also good sources of the following:
Calcium
Thiamin
Niacin
Phosphorous
Iron
Riboflavin
Vitamin B6
Zinc
My son Seth loves these bars. They are easy for him to handle but help him develop his finger food skills. The Gerber Fruit and Cereal bars are good value for money and convenient to carry around. Their nutrition is excellent.
The only disadvantage of this product is that it has a tendency to crumble easily and with the fruit filling can be very sticky - It treads into carpets too easily! This, however, is a small price to pay when I know my son will enjoy a healthy snack.
Overall I highly recommend this product and hope your toddler enjoys it as much as mine!
Bon Appetit!
