Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / July 2004best tasting baby food?
Please, don't answer homemade. I wonder which of the commercial baby foods taste best. DS never liked any of them. I remember the Gerber fruits were too sour. Don't remember much else. Anyone? > Please, don't answer homemade. I wonder which of the commercial baby foods > taste best. DS never liked any of them. I remember the Gerber fruits were > too sour. Don't remember much else. Anyone? I guess the best thing to do would be to obtain and taste a representative sample of commercial baby food and judge for yourself ? Taste is a very subjective thing. > > Please, don't answer homemade.

The baby foods are (or were) made for baby's taste buds with not much seasoning, so they may not taste very good to adults. We season and salt our food so that it doesn't taste good to us without it. DH for instance used to salt his food before he tasted it. One of the reasons why I didn't use baby food as much as it seems people do now was that it seemed such a waste to me to buy all those expensive little jars of stuff and then have the baby turn up his/her nose at them after one or two tastes. So basically what my babies had (IIRC - which I may not) was fruit and cereal. None of them liked the little meats, and none of them liked what in my day were called 'junior foods'. So I didn't buy them. grandma Rosalie I always though BeachNut looked more like "real" food then Gerber. There is only one store in my are that sells it though and they only sell stage 2 stuff in a limited selection. Tori  SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > Please, don't answer homemade.

My girls didn't have any trouble with any of them to be honest. We have Gerber, Beechnut and Heinz to choose from. The meats didn't go over too well, but I used to put a little fruit in with it and they ate it. SignatureSue (mom to three girls) >Please, don't answer homemade.

Well, if the child won't eat any of them, you only option is home-made/table foods, right? And I think different babies will have different preferences. (I used mostly Gerber and some Heinz. Shaina liked all of them. (Except for the specific food items she didn't care for. Never liked (and still doesn't like) carrots or squash, regardless of the brand.

I don't mind making some food, I'm hoping not to have to make all the food. toypup wrote on 7/17/2004 7:09 PM: > Please, don't answer homemade.

Keep in mind that it can take several exposures, I think I read 10 or more somewhere, for a baby to get used to and truly like a food. My son is at risk for food allergies so he eats any new ingredient for 6 days in a row (I picked 6 only because I get lots of baby food coupons with purchase quantities of 12) so I can monitor for any reactions. There are very few foods that he is enthused with the first time - often it takes 3 or 4 days of it before he is really eager after the first couple of bites. The only out-and-out refusal so far has been spinach - which I plan to reintroduce soon. I've purchased the same food from different companies too and Ian hasn't shown that he notices a big difference between them. Keep in mind that babies are different, maybe your next won't be as picky. - Joanne DS Ian 8 mos > toypup wrote on 7/17/2004 7:09 PM: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Keep in mind that it can take several exposures, I think I read 10 or > more somewhere, for a baby to get used to and truly like a food. I've given DS hundreds of exposures to the same foods and it hasn't worked. Still hoping it will work, eventually. It took me a few decades for some foods. |
