You’ve got to love Gerber. This long standing baby food brand was what I as a baby was eating when I was young and proud to say, also Kat’s favorites. Of course this brand had grown much from the time when I was a baby. Back then, the choice was only the small bottles of apple, pear and bananas. Now, you can choose from a whole variety of food. From the classic pureed fruit, to yogurt melts, whole meal food like pumpkin XXX, and I have got to mention every baby’s favorites, (otherwise known as “stars” or “mum mum” by kat).
I have to mention this little episode that happened to Kat recently which had gotten me to write this article. Kat was never a fussy eater since young and by the time she was weaning, I was a proud mummy that can tell everyone that Kat can finish her porridge in 15mins. No fuss. Our nightmare came 1 month ago when Kat had turned 14 months. She started to hate dinner>.< She would cry and whine when we fed her. I tried different types of porridge, cooking her pasta, making teddy shapes out of egg, you name it, and I’ve tried it. Kat would only take milk and went on 4-5 days without a proper meal.
You guessed it right, Gerber saved the day. It was more of like a last resort thing. So I dropped by the grocers and got a few bottles of the different full meals for her to try. Kat had rarely eaten bottled food and I was having my doubts on it as well. When the little spoon when into the whining mouth of the tantrum baby, she gave a weird look and ate half bottle of it! WOO HOO! Kat is still on bottled gerber for dinner. It has been 2 weeks since she started. Thou I am not really sure how long this will last, I am keeping my fingered crossed and also thankful that I had Gerber to save the day.
