Pros: A wide variety, sales often, Gerber sends coupons Cons: Some of these you may be able to make yourself for less money
Having our first child was a miracle and a blessing. I immediately mentally made out my list of "Never's" (I will never give in to crying, I will never use a pacifier, etc)In my list of "never's" I had decided I was never ...
Pros: Little mess; easy for little fingers to pick up; tastes great; low fat; convenient. Cons: Expensive; high in added sodium; must be drained before eating.
Oh, happy day! I've finally found something my picky 14 month old toddler will eat. As we first introduced solid foods when Tristan was around 5 to 6 months of age, he'd eat just about anything that was placed into his mouth. Fast forward a few...
Pros: High in protein, they travel well, they are so soft they're hard to choke on Cons: They smell awful, they're difficult to get out of the jar without making a mess
Before I became a mother, I used the term "I'll never..." an awful lot: "I'll never give my child a pacifier..." (I gave him one when he was less than 48 hours old), "I'll never run my life around my child's nap schedule..." (watch me rush home...
Pros: The idea of sneaking veggies in a cracker Cons: beets and sweet potatoes, kids do not like them
Gerber Graduates for Toddlers Veggie Crackers come in a four ounce box selling at $1.79 and up. They are shaped with six edges the size of a quarter. The color is a nice mixture of tomato and celery with eight little holes in each cracker. ...
Pros: More texture, better taste, variety available for older babies Cons: Can be overpriced, messy, and loaded with sugar or sodium
My 10-month-old daughter just recently started refusing to eat her baby food. I cannot say that I blame her, because it is pretty bland. After cutting her fourth tooth, she wanted more taste and texture than the Gerber Stage 3 for babies had to offer....
Pros: Perfect for tiny fingers, great variety Cons: Don't they come in adult portions?
When my daughter was around 10 months old our family had to move across the country. The move was very stressful on my daughter. It effected her moods, her sleep patterns and even her eating. She stopped eating as a result. She would clamp her mouth shut...
Pros: Have lots of added nutrients like zinc and iron. Cons: Some just don't look or taste very appealing!
My son is quite independent. When he reached about the age of one, he decided he didn't want mommy and daddy to feed him anymore. It was time to take matters into his own hands. This, of course, meant no more strained peas and runny carrots. It was...
Recently, the grocery store where I usually shop had a great sale on Gerber Graduates items and I bought a wide variety of the items so that my baby could try them out and we were both pleased! In fact, I bought at least one of every product that the...
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...
Pros: Travels well, added vitamins and minerals. Cons: Meat sticks have a strong smell and microwave meals too much sodium.
When my daughter started eating regular table food, I needed to find a convenient way to provide her with all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed in her diet. Gerber Graduates proved to be a convenient solution to my needs.
Gerber has always been a trusted name in our home. Although they didn't have the graduate line 13 years ago when I had my first child, I always had piece of mind in using Gerber baby foods, cereals and juices. I am going to try to combine the Gerber...
Pros: variety, age appropriate, great finger feeding foods Cons: expensive, gummy snacks are a choking hazard
Recently, my son started to refuse to be fed. He's throw a fit, and slap the spoon away, reaching for the bowl of food in my hands. Now that he has found the joys of feeding himself, I have found the horrors of fixing good finger foods for him to eat....
I wasn't prepared for the transition away from baby foods. I guess in my mind they would just start eating hot dogs and macaroni & cheese like I remember from my childhood. I hadn't really considered that those weren't very healthy foods, and I'd...
Pros: Almost like "grown up food" for kids! Cons: Bland taste!
There used to be this empty spot between baby and big kid. I am sure it's the toddler stage but it was hard to fill it with the foods that were just right for the toddlers in that stage. They were way too big for the traditional baby foods, yet still...
Pros: great finger foods,not many additives,great natural taste Cons: none
After my daughter started refusing stage two foods and wanting what ever we were eating I started looking for more finger foods that she can have. In our local store I found the Gerber Graduate Dices.
Pros: Healthy, tasty, just the right size for little hands. Cons: None
My first daughter ate anything and everything we gave her. She ate salmon, broccoli, cauliflower, you name it. At 2 1/2, she is still a very good eater and she loves to try new things. My second daughter, 1, is a pretty good eater and she eats healthy...

When our sixth child became a toddler I needed a fast easy way to feed her. We are always on the go so,I can't always make two meals: one for those family members with a full mouth of teeth and the other for the one with only a few :)
Pros: Tasty, nutritious. Cons: They disappear fast! gulp!
I Absolutely love this line of foods. And, more importantly, my son absolutely loves them too. Anyone who has a toddler knows how difficult it can be to get them to eat. In order to get some sort of nutrition into them, you do...
Pros: size and nutritional value Cons: nothing I can think of
This review is about Gerber Graduates but it is not about babies eating Gerber Graduates it is about adults eating Gerber Graduates fruits. Or, I guess any of the foods in this line of Gerber baby foods, if you so desired.
Pros: Several Varieties, Easy to Prepare Cons: Costs a lot.
When my baby was about 10 months old she started showing an interest in table foods. She'd eat a small portion of baby food, and then when she saw our dinner she was suddenly hungry again. So, I purchased some Gerber Graduate Microwave Meals.
Pros: nutritional value, taste, quality Cons: a little more expensive than "adult" vienna sausages
What an exciting time! Your child has progressed from just formula/breastmilk, to rice cereal and applesauce, and now is in the throws of finger foods! How fun (although sometimes messy!) One popular finger food for toddlers are vienna sausages....
Pros: Good for a long time - my better if used by dates go up to 2003! Cons: My son did not like them - Generally too expensive
I had high hopes for these meat sticks. I ended up buying four jars. Unfortunately my son only ate two of the meat sticks at separate times. He seemed to like it the first time I gave it to him. It was dinner time and he ate most of one Turkey stick....
Note: This category has all of the Gerber Graduates products together.

My eleven month old son can eat. And eat. And eat some more. He is almost 25 pounds and is now eating all kinds of finger foods. There are two Gerber Graduates products that I have tried and he enjoys them both. They are the Gerber Graduates Fruit...
Pros: Conveniently packaged Cons: Not moist, tasty or nearly nutritious enough compared to other cereal bars
I have generally been giving my 20 month old son the Quaker Fruit & Oatmeal cereal bars. He has always liked them, but I actually decided recently to purchase the Gerber Graduates Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Cereal bars so that I could write about...
Pros: great source of vitamins and minerals Cons: some items are a little pricey
My 14 month old son decided that he no longer liked the Gerber 3rd Stage Foods around the age of 11 months. He was also wanting to feed himself. Gerber Graduates Baby Foods provided the perfect transition!

Pros: Easy,quickly,great variety Cons: Pricey,not much of a nutrition
When it comes to food for toddlers available in the stores, the Gerber Graduates baby Food is definitely a winner. If you go to the baby aisle in the store, it is filled with a variety of different dishes and snacks from Gerber. They are a great help ...

What first drew me to try the Gerber Graduate line of baby foods was mainly because the...
Pros: great source of vitamins and minerals Cons: the meat sticks stink
Gerber Graduates have all the best snacks. I give my daughter the traditional cheerios but of course if you give a child too much they are going to hate it. I decided to start buying the Gerber Graduates snack, well actually my mom started. She bought...
Pros: nutritional toddler food ready to go Cons: pricier than other stages of Gerber food
Ok, we're almost out of babyhood! Gerber hasn't forgotten you. They have come up with something for toddlers too! The Gerber Graduates food is designed to fit the needs of active toddlers; this means babies who are walking and feeding themselves....

My oldest daughter is almost 3 years old and is no longer interested in most of the Gerber Graduates foods. However from about 10 months to 2 years and 4 months or so she LOVED these foods! They were in my grocery cart each week!
Pros: Good taste, easy to grasp Cons: Not as nutritious as you might think
Gerber Graduates Veggie Crackers are certainly a better snack than chips or candy, but they're not as healthful as Gerber makes them out to be. (A better alternative is Gerber Graduates' new product: Cereal Snackin' Squares, vanilla-flavored square...
Pros: soft foods just right for toddlers, tasty Cons: none
My eight month old decided that enough was enough when it came to baby food. He just flat out refused to eat it anymore. Getting three spoonfuls into his mouth was a major effort. So I went srounging around the supermarket shelves looking for...
Pros: great selection & taste. Priced right. Cons: some of the foods are difficult to find
Gerber has quite a good line of Toddler foods readily available at almost any grocery store you go to. I have been buying them for about a year now for my daughter, and she loves most of them.

When we reached the stage with our oldest son, when he was ready for foods that required more chewing, grasping, and other skills that come around age one, we gave some of these products a shot. After all, we trust Gerber as a good baby-safe brand,...
Pros: have all of the essentials that a growing child needs, Cons: a little more expensive than other brands
I wanted to find something a little extra to supplement my daughter. I found these gerber graduates. They have everything that a parent wants their growing toddler to have. The best part is they are low in sugar and have no added preservatives.
Pros: Great taste, perfect sizes for baby, nice price Cons: None so far that I have found
My baby has finally reached the stage where she doesn't want me to feed her anymore. She wants to feed herself. I went to the grocery store after being assured by her doctor that she was old enough for finer foods. I looked at what was offered. There...
Pros: many choices, easy to find in stores, reasonable price Cons: baby will probably reject at least one item!
We have started the adventure of giving our toddler more "normal" foods. The Gerber Graduates line has been a real help, and has made the transition smoother for all of us. It is important that we give our son foods that he will like (and eat...
Pros: Variety of flavors and textures, Handy cereal bars Cons: Expensive, not good re-heated
We started graduates at about 12 months for Benjamin. He was a hearty eater from day one and the stage three Gerber, which we used exclusively, just didn't fill him up. Plus he was ready for the texture found in more "adult" food.
Pros: Good variety, good value, convenience galore Cons: None
My 18 month old son still enjoys eating Gerber Graduates foods. When he was a baby, I preferred Beechnut foods as some of the Gerber foods had added salt & sugar, which I found unnecessary for baby foods. However, the Graduates foods are great!...
Pros: Good size, nutritional, good texture Cons: A little expensive, but worth it!
I am the mommy to three beautiful "Gerber" kids! I don't know how anyone survived before baby food! However, I was having an especially difficult time feeding my youngest. She is teething, and stubborn, and we spent every mealtime in a...

I have three girls ages 7, 5, and 10 months. The older two are super active (they never stop moving) and super active children require lots of energy sources (snacks according to them). Well, you can't give two children a snack and not the third, at...
Pros: Good for a Quick Snack, Most fortified with iron, calcium, vitamins Cons: Expensive, Alot of Junk Foods, Not alot of Choices for Vegetarians
My son has been enjoying these foods for over a year now, and I'm glad they're around. They have their good points and bad points. But I'll start with the good points.
His favorites are the Green Beans that come in a bottle chopped in little...
Pros: Lots of Vitamins and Minerals...Dissolves Easily! Cons: None

Pros: more flavor and texture, easy to bring along when travelling Cons: can be costly at times
My 11 month old daughter loves Gerber Graduates! They provide the necessary vitamins and minerals for an older infant and toddler, with a bit more flavor and/or texture than jarred baby foods.
Pros: my kid likes the taste, 20% of RDA for Vitamin C Cons: for some, the taste, but worth trying
My two-year-old daughter has been wolfing Gerber's fruit juice snacks for many months now. We give them to her as an afternoon snack or as an after-meal treat if she finishes everything on her plate. She loves them.
Pros: excellent choice for toddler meals on the go, and for fortified snacks Cons: none for me
I rely pretty heavily on Gerber Graduates foods, particularly for on-the-go meals for my almost 2 year old son. I am so glad Gerber offers this product line; it makes my life a lot easier.

Pros: Wide Variety, Perfect Size & Texture, Convenient Cons: The fruit snacks seem overly sweet to me
While my little gerber boy didn't care much for Stage 3 foods, he loved the Gerber Graduates line. Overnight, or so it seemed to me, he had become Mr. Independent, and he wanted to do everything all by himself. By the time he was 10 months old he would...
Pros: Very Convenient for Busy Parents; Just the Right Size for Toddlers; Lots of Interesting Products in the Line Cons: Rather Expensive; Can Make Home Made for Less Money; Other Brands Are Just as Good

Gerber Graduates are marketed as toddler foods, easy for 2/3 year olds to...
Pros: ease of use for toddlers, healthier crunching, good taste Cons: pricey
If you've ever walked down the baby goods aisle, you've see the Gerber name featured prominently there. With 72 years of experience in feeding babies, toddler food was the next logical step. Enter Gerber Graduates. While I do care a lot...

On our last trip to the grocery store, my daughter started getting fussy toward the end. So, I grabbed a box of Gerber Graduate Animal Crackers and hoped a cracker would make her happy until we could get out of the store. They did the trick and that...
Pros: My son loves them say no more Cons: Pricey, not much in the package
Well my son is 14 months old now and eating everything. I've been trying the various Gerber Graduate bakery products since he got a few teeth in. I will only be able to review the ones we have used.
Pros: Rich in Vitamin C, and they are a healthy snack! Cons: Taste Gross, and Toddlers won't eat them!
We have been very happy with the Gerber Graduates line of baby foods. So, when I saw the Fruit Juice Snacks I thought I'd give them a try. They were a mistake. The theory behind them is good. But, they are yucky.
Pros: great to travel with; small; stay fresh Cons: sometimes can be crumbly and make a mess; ravioli is really big for baby
My daughter (14 months) is SO impatient when I feed her--if I have to get up to get more food for her (I don't know WHERE she puts it all, but lately she has become a bottomless pit), she screams the whole time I'm out of my chair. I like to feed her...
Pros: easy to eat, finger friendly, nutritious Cons: none that i know of

Pros: Good food a name you can trust Cons: Some of the foods are too bland
I have used a few of the Gerber products and liked them,but i found it could get expensive. I only buy the Gerber microwave dinners,which now my 16 month old only mostly eats for lunch,as she loves table food. She is the baby,as i have two grown...
I have bought my daughter many of the Gerber Graduates and then realized that most things I could buy in the canned goods section of the grocery store and save a lot of money. Maybe I am just too thrifty but when I go to the grocery store I like to...

First the microwavable meals. First we tried this brand and my daughter ate it...
There's nothing wrong with Gerber Graduates, they even smell nice (unlike baby food) but they are pricey for what are just small portions of real food. We buy them for emergencies, for when our food is unsuitable etc but when I hear claims on the TV...
Pros: infant/toddler sized portions ; tasty Cons: not a "necessity" in feeding your baby ; waste of money
I guess it's just me... but I don't really get the need for special Gerber Graduates foods. I personally have never used them, but I know plenty of people who have. Why? I'm not exactly sure.
Pros: Just the right size, for the little fingers.... Cons: Does look kind of yucky to adult eyes but so what
OH boy! MY 12 month old just loves to feed herself, in fact she is very picky about what she will allow me to spoon feed her with having to spit it out and look at it first. I was cutting and mashing food to give to her at this point so she could...
Pros: loaded with vitamins and nutrients; good selection of items Cons: more expensive; very very bland
Gerber has some good ideas for toddlers, too old for "baby food" but still too young for the foods we eat loaded with seasonings. Beware though, as they age, they will rebel as they really are bland! My daughter HATED the vienna sausages from...

My 15 month old daughter, Kali, is a picky eater. She eats well, but only what she likes. I usually offer her whatever the rest of the family is eating and she eats it. There are times however, we go out to eat or go over a friends house, and I am...

This food is the perfect step for my son. The small chunks of food and easy to chew crackers and cookies allow him to practice chewing with his new teeth, without me having to worry too much about him choking. I had never seen anything but pureed baby...
Pros: really good juices, great mac-n-beef Cons: Bad fruit snacks, inedible cheese ravioli
The juices are pretty good. You can even find some of these in juice boxes in some stores, but not often. Pretty good selection of flavors too.
The cookies are okay. But, avoid the fruit snacks! They're awful and have a weird smell to them. My...
Pros: Easy, Bite size pieces Cons: Could be expensive
As the mother of a 16 month old very picky eater, I tried everything to get him to eat. I mostly made his food myself. Then I found Gerber Graduates. I decided to give them a try. He loved them. He especially loves the microwave meals and so do I....
We like Snackin' Squares the best. I give these to my daughter as a little snack between meals. She really enjoys holding them and eating them. They taste like vanilla wafers.
These were the first hard foods I introduced to her and they melted...
Well, I have always been a Gerber Mom. Both my sons love all their foods and snacks. My youngest just turned 13 months, and let me tell you- he eats so much! I would feed him jars of bottle food, and he would turn around and be starving. He also...
My husband and I were trying out the Gerber Graduates line of food (Which we like 90% of by the way)and we came across the Veggie wagon wheels. Now I love the biter biscuits, at least the goo those produce is fairly easy to wipe off. VWWs however, are a...

Pros: Some are good for your Babies. Cons: Holy Hype!
I only used these for convience when I had coupons to purchase them. The meat sticks are gross! The "juice" they are contained in jellies in the refridgerator. The "crackers" and "fruit snacks" are not very nutritious. I have found other products...
We all start off thinking hay this is cool, I can give my child what he likes to eat without having to cut it up. Well that much is true but most parents have to save money where they can and this is one of them places to save it. Not only is there not a...
