this2shallpass19 says "A great organic snack from Earth's Best and my son loves them!" about Earth's Best Organic Yogurt Rice Crisp Bars

this2shallpass19 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:37:22 GMT

I try to buy my son as many natural and organic products as possible. That includes body care products like diaper cream and shampoo, and food products too. Since Earth's Best is one of a couple organic companies that I can find, I end up buying their products more than others.

Earth's Best Organic Yogurt Rice Crisp Bars are just like Rice Crispy Treats, but they are made with all natural, organic ingredients and also made with wholesome yogurt. Instead of white rice, these are made with whole grain brown rice. They are also fortified with Iron, Zinc, Vitamin C and six B Vitamins. They come in two flavors: vanilla or banana.

My son has the vanilla flavor and although I didn't think they tasted that good, my son loves them. They are crisp, but easy to pull apart into smaller pieces. Since Earth's Best and Sesame Street have partnered together for some of their products, there are Sesame Street characters on the boxes. The vanilla flavor has Elmo on the cover, and banana

TheCleaningGirl says "Earth's Best Barley Teething Biscuits - Not my favorite" about Earth's Best Barley Teething Biscuits

TheCleaningGirl — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:49:19 GMT

I actually expected my baby loving these cooking, but he probably just had about 5 and I don't give it to him anymore. They seem to be okay, and probably will work for a lot of babies, but my son doesn't really into them. I think he likes something more breakable or chewable, and gets irritated with these cookies after few minutes, lol

On the other hand, I don't like these because they tend to be extremely messy. When he eats them, they are just on everything that is around him. Once, I tries give these to him in the car, while in his car seat, and oh boy, I did not like what I saw when we came to our destination, lol

Oh, and one more thing (I absolutely don't meat to offend anyone), but everytime I would take out a cookie from its package, for some reason whey would always remind me of a dog cookie and I kind of did not like that feelling when giving them to my baby (they look kind of dark brown and have a prolong shape), lol

TheCleaningGirl says "My baby loves it!" about Gerber Sweet Potatoes

TheCleaningGirl — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:36:55 GMT

My baby just loves gerber sweet potatoes. At first I assumed he would like apple or banana flavors more, but I quickly realized that he just in love with sweet potatoes. While he usually only eats half of the bottle/package of most other flavors (except green beens), sweet potatoes usually goes all the way! The only thing that I don't really like sometimes (I know it may sound a little selfish of me) is that when he eats particularly sweet potatoes, he likes to make bubles with his cute little mouth. The problem is that the sause gets everywhere, and if I wait few days untill washing his clothing, it may not come off completely, at the same time it could be few different items left in stains - towells, body suits, socks, etc. Also, the texture is somewhat runny, but I use small rubber spoons and they work well for this product, I just don't suggest taking this sause when you are going out because it can get messy, but at home its great. Anyways, I am just glad he likes it!

TheCleaningGirl says "My baby jsut loves this snack!!!" about Baby Mum-Mum Rice Snacks

TheCleaningGirl — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:23:15 GMT

Oh, my baby just love these rice cookies. He is almost seven months old, but we started giving these to him at about 5 month. He loved them since day one. Right now he eats about 4 of them at the time. At first they would get just a little messy and sticky, but now he learned how to eat them, and sometimes I don't even find any crumbs. They are also are very nice for calming him down in the car. He dosn't usually take the pacifier, so these are great for distructing him when he is driving in the carseat. We always buy few packs of these at the time, because they go kind of fast, but every morning when I want to enjoy my cup of coffee, he just enjoying his cookie - Honestly, I don't know what I would do without these. Another thing that sometime keeps him occupied for few extra minutes is the packaging as its making noises when he plays with it. One recomendation: when your baby is just starting to eat different foods, please watch him/her very closely since...

codymommy says "Use caution with Beechnut Homestyle Baby Food" about Beechnut Baby Food

codymommy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:36:30 GMT

I recently purchased nine jars of BeechNut Homestyle stage three baby food. They were all fruit combinations such as Apples, Cherries, and Plums - also Pears and Blueberries. After my son consumed the first jar, a few hours later he pooped in his diaper, and it was awful. It was coming out of his diaper and all over. At the time of the first jar, we both had a cold so I was not sure if the cold was the cause of his diarrihea. About a week later, I feed him a jar of his fruit, and again the same thing happened, only he had this problem three times during this day. He had fruit juice as well, so I was thinking that both must have upset his stomach. Then today, I fed him a jar of the BeechNut Homestyle Pears and Blueberries around three in the afternoon. I left for the store around eight o'clock in the evening, and received a phone call from daddy. Another aweful incident had happened, but this one was the worst. I now know that the cause of his diarrihea is from this baby food. He has never...

lamos says "A life saver!!" about Gerber Graduates For Toddlers Lil' Entrees - Pasta Stars in Meat Sauce

lamos — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:05:30 GMT

I love and my kids love Gerber Graduates. That is all I mostly feed my kids. My son loves the pasta in meat sauce and my daughter loves the macarroni and cheese meal. When my kids go and spend the night at their grandma's I send it with them. It feels them up and is nutritous. I would recommend these meals to every busy mom and dad.

When I don't feel like cooking dinner, this is so great to just poke holes in it, put it in the mircrowave for 30 seconds,drain the vegatables and serve. My son really loves the vegatables but my daughter doesn't. It comes in a variety of meals that I'm sure your children will like. It's cheaper at wal-mart for about $2 and at Kroger its just under $3.

If you have a child that eats a lot, then I wouldn't recommend it. Its for kids who eat small meals. If your child is an eater you may have to feed him or her 2 or maybe even 3 trays of food. This is a must have in you cabinet.

this2shallpass19 says "Wow! My son actually liked this meal!" about Gerber Graduates For Toddlers Lil' Entrees - Pasta Stars in Meat Sauce

this2shallpass19 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:01:12 GMT

I recently stocked up on a whole bunch of Gerber Graduates meals for my son because they have the perfect portion for toddlers and everything is in small, bite-size pieces. They are also great because they include a side dish of veggies too! Since my toddler son has gone on a veggie strike, it's a real feat that he enjoyed this meal!

Gerber Graduates For Toddlers Lil' Entrees Pasta Stars in Meat Sauce has two sides. One side is small pasta stars in a tomato-based meat sauce, and the other side is green beans that have been cut up in small pieces. I mixed both sides together to hide the green beans, and must have done a good job because my son actually liked this meal. He didn't turn his head or spit out the food!

Gerber Graduates says that this meal contains:

Full serving of vegetables
No preservatives
10% daily value for 4 vitamins & minerals
Provides protein
Is developmentally appropriate

I really like how I don't have to cut anything up, it's already the perfect size and the...

NadineHeard says "dont buy it. ever." about Nursery Water Purified Water with Added Fluoride

NadineHeard — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:16:21 GMT

1995 Neurotoxicology and Teratology, Vol 17, No.2,p.169-177, "Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride in Rats", Meullenix, et al, 1995, reveals that fluorides are cumulative in the brain , humans are exposed to plasma fluoride levels as high as those given to rats , fluorides interrupt normal brain development in babies and children , and fluorides affect the hippocampus, the "central processor" in the brain which integrates inputs from the environment, memory, and motivational stimuli to produce behavioral decisions and modify memory. This firmly establishes that mass fluoridation affects the behavior of society, in that it undermines the capacity for people to make decisions and become motivated to act against abnormal environments (such as that present in tyranny).

carlamae1981 says "Gerber graduates Lil Meals Pastas are absolutely DISGUSTING!" about Gerber Graduates Lil' Meals Pasta Shells & Cheese

carlamae1981 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:55:29 GMT

When traveling accross the country recently with my son I decided to try Gerber Gradutes Lil' Pasta meals Raviolis. I had been making my son his food from scratch, but I wanted to try something that would travel better. At about a dollar a container I decided to try two, and didn't think it would be a waste if he didn't like them. I had been feeding him pasta and raviolis so I knew that they were things that he liked already so I assumed that it would be an easy transition to the gerber product. BOY was I WRONG!!! When attempting to feed him he kept moving his head and had no interest in eating the raviolis that I thought he would love. It was only when I decided to taste the product that I realized one thing.... THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! The texture of the pasta was very grainy, and the filling was disgusting. I had assumed the pasta was just to be alone, with no sauce ( and I even specifically read the label to ensure this). There was no sauce all right, but there...

carlamae1981 says "My baby loves baby Mum Mums!" about Baby Mum-Mum Rice Snacks

carlamae1981 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:45:00 GMT

When I was begining to introduce my son to solid foods, and items he could feed him self, my biggest fear was choking as any parent's would be. I was so afraid that he would just shove an entire cookie in his mouth and I would have to do the hemlich on him!! Baby Mum mums snacks however are COMPLETELY dissolveable. ( I know because I tried them first and they dissolved with in seconds of being in my mouth!) The long oval shape is easy for baby to grip, which encourages baby to feed himself. They dissolve quickly in baby's mouth so there is not a fear of choking, yet there are solid enough for baby to bite on and practice chewing. I have not seen a similar product on the market. The closest would be a teething biscuit, but those are more like cookies and MUCH slower to dissolve. When compared with teething biscuits, Baby MUM MUMS are much easier to clean as well. Because the dissolve so quickly in baby's mouth, there is not the mess from the pastey mush that you get...

this2shallpass19 says "Gerber Harvest Juice is a great way to sneak in veggies!" about Gerber Harvest Juice

this2shallpass19 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:26:12 GMT

While shopping at Target recently, I came across a baby product I haven't seen before - Gerber Harvest Juice. From what my doctor has told me, I shouldn't give my son any juice, just real fruit. However, this product meets a need I have, it contains veggies! A package included four, 4 ounce bottles.

My son has recently become an extremely picky eater and won't eat veggies, so Gerber Harvest Juice sounded perfect because each mini, 4 ounce bottle contains a full fruit/vegetable serving. So it not only tastes great, but is good for him too. The small size is a perfect serving and a great size for on the go too.

I bought Gerber Harvest Juice in the flavor Apple Carrot Blend. It contains nothing but juices, water and vitamins; no added sugar! Although the only vegetable in this particular flavor is carrots, it is better than nothing.

Ingredients: apple, carrot and white grape juices from concentrate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), citric acid, vitamin E.

The Scoop!

My son loves...

POLICE59 says "Gerber Yogurt Melts are the best thing out!" about Gerber Graduates Yogurt Melts

POLICE59 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:46:23 GMT

My son began getting his teeth at 5 months. Before we knew it he had a mouthful and wasn't 12 months yet. At about 7 months we began giving him the Gerber snack foods, and from the very first bite he was ADDICTED. He likes all of them, and isn't picky. He would cry for them, beg for them, and when we went down the baby isle he would point and grunt until we got a package and opened them. By the time we were done shopping, I was handing the empty package the the cashier, apologizing. He is now 20 months, and I still get them for him, but they are more of a treat. I wish they made them for adults! They are absolutely delicious. I don't blame him for loving them so much. I stock up on them when they are on sale at the grocery and have my mother in law get them at the px on base. I think he will eat these until he is grown!...

rnkristy1 says "Great for first finger food!" about Gerber Graduates Finger Food Fruit & Veggies Puffs

rnkristy1 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:09:42 GMT

When I was introduced to the gerber puffs by some friends of mine, my first daughter was about six months old and I had been starting her on some solid foods. I bought some and when my daughter was around 8 month old, I started giving them to her. First of all, she loved them! I like them, too. They are tasty and made with wholesome ingredients. This was the first food that my daughter learned to pick up all by herself and put in her mouth. She is an independent little girl, so this was a really wonderful moment for her. I used them again with my second daughter. The only problem that I have with them is that they tend to disappear very fast in my house! I really like all the different flavors and so do both of my daughters. I like that these are easy to find. I see them at almost every grocery store that I frequent. I also like these because they are a great snack that is not very messy!

rnkristy1 says "My girls love it and it is healthy!" about Stonyfield Farms Organic YoBaby Yogurt

rnkristy1 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:05:26 GMT

When feeding both of my daughters, I began to introduce yogurt at around eight months with permission from my pediatrician. We immediately knew that yobaby was a great choice because it is organic and contains whole milk, which growing babies need. It was a little pricier than some of the other kid oriented yogurts, but after looking at the ingredients, I think that it is well worth buying this yogurt over others because they contain real fruit, no artificial ingredients and they contain much less sugar than others that I have seen. My girls have really loved all of the different flavors. My daughters are now two and a half and fourteen months, and they still eat this yogurt a few times every week. I still have the confidence that this is a healthy treat for my little girls. I also like that they have come out with fruit and veggie blends yogurts, which I have seen advertised and I can't wait to try!

MeaganS says "Daughter loves it and it's nutritious! " about Stonyfield Farms Organic YoBaby Yogurt

MeaganS — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:39:34 GMT

When my daughter was only a few months old, she was diagnosed as failure to thrive. She had severe acid reflux and wouldn't eat barely anything. Mealtime was a chore. The doctor recommended that everything she ate be high in fat and calories, this meant that we couldn't feed her normal babyfood, because it just wasn't fatty enough. I found this yogurt while trying to find a food that would be high in good fats and that she would eat. And man, did she love this yogurt. I usually added a little rice cereal to it, to make it thicker, but other than that, this yogurt was great for her. It was one of the only foods she would always finish. Even now, a year later, I still buy it for her occasionally, because she will just eat it down. I love that it's organic and that it's made with whole milk. At our grocery store, it was very difficult to find non-lowfat yogurt. Stonyfield farms has made a fan out of me. I will be using this yogurt with the rest of my kids when they...

suuperbaby says "Easy and budget friendly." about Homemade Baby Food

suuperbaby — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:16:26 GMT

I think homemade baby food is the way to go. It is budget friendly and simple to do. I usually have fruit and vegetables that are ripe and need to be used up. That is when I grab the food processor and away I go. Once I add the right amount of water for the consistency I would like I fill up ice cub trays and freeze them individually. That way I can grab a cube or two and let them thaw. Because they are frozen individually they take very little time to thaw and my baby has a natural, organic (if I choose) meal that doesn't take any more time to put together than opening a jar. Not to mention those jars are so overpriced I cringe at what they charge for them, and the coupons that require you to buy 10 to save $1. That is ridiculous to me.

this2shallpass19 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:50:51 GMT

My toddler used to eat anything and everything when he was a little younger. Recently, he has gone on an eating strike, making it impossible to give him nutritious food. All he wants to eat are crunchy carbs like: granola bars, chips and pretzels. Luckily, he loves fruit and cheese, but I can't get him to eat meat or veggies. While at the commissary recently, I decided to buy a couple of the Gerber Graduates for Toddlers Lil' Entrees. They are complete meals that include a side of veggies and the whole entree is a perfect size portion.

Gerber Graduates for Toddlers Lil' Entrees Mashed Potatoes & Gravy with Roasted Chicken is a small, 5.3 ounce meal for toddlers. One side of the tray has mashed potatoes, chunks of chicken and gravy. The other side of the tray is diced carrots. I took a bite out of it and thought that it was a little bland, but that's just me.

This meal didn't exactly fly into my son's mouth, but with a couple tricks, he ate it! I tried to give him...

laceync2004 says "graduates are awesome!" about Gerber Graduates

laceync2004 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:38:08 GMT

I started my son on these when he was around 1 and they were great all the servings are great the variety is even better. My family members had never heard of the products before but I decided to try them and I am so glad I did. When my son was around that age we were still in South Carolina because my husband was in the Marine Corp so we traveled home a lot. These things came in handy because he was eating "big people" food but was getting what he needed instead of having everone trying to feed him all sorts of junk it was nice and so easy to pop in the microwave and just heat up we could even stop at a convenience store and heat them if we needed to keep driving, luckily we usually planned stops so that didn't happen often but at least it was a possibility. Even after my son got older he is now 5 he still will eat them granted the servings are a little small for him now but they are great to throw in some extra fruits and vegetables with.

mamarabby says "Why is all cereal not in a container like this?" about Beechnut Beecchnut Oatmeal Cereal

mamarabby — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:33:32 GMT

What drew me to Beechnut Oatmeal Ceral for our son was the package. Kinda like a little paper milk container with a screw on lid. I never have to worry about spilling, of it not staying fresh after it is opened, or ants or bugs getting into it. I really wish Beechnut had an organic version of this oatmeal cereal available. Our son has never had digestion issues, but other moms tell me that this is very gentle on their little ones tummy, which is very important. Our eight month old son had Beechnut Oatmeal Cereal mixed with applesauce and yogurt for breakfast every morning, and he loves it! I have taken this with us in our diaper bag and it has never come open once, unlike the more traditional looking boxes of infant cereal. This has a nice mild taste that makes it a good choice for adding to lots of different fruits and veggies for your baby. I wish it was organic, but you cannot have everything!

this2shallpass19 says "Delicious blueberry waffles are the perfect size for my toddler!" about Earth's Best Organic Blueberry Mini Waffles

this2shallpass19 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:31:26 GMT

I try to buy my son a lot of natural and/or organic food. There aren't very many options out there, but I have never been disappointed with Earth's Best. When I saw they now make Earth's Best Organic Blueberry Mini Waffles, I had to buy them for my son. They are not only made with all natural ingredients, but are organic too. I found them at a natural store by my house for $2.50 on sale.

Earth's Best has partnered with Sesame Street to bring a whole line of products for babies and toddlers. Earth's Best Organic Blueberry Mini Waffles are just one of many items in the Sesame Street line. The Sesame Street character, Cookie Monster, is on the cover of the box, which makes my son happy. He gets excited every time he sees the box!

A box of Earth's Best Organic Blueberry Mini Waffles includes eight sheets of four mini waffles. One sheet is a perfect serving size for my 20 month old son. Mom likes these waffles because they are organic and made with 10 grams of whole grains...
