Our daycare supplies Gerber formula and Gerber purees so we give that at home as well so she's not getting a mixture of brands.
We've been really happy with what we have used so far!
-
They clothes run WAY small and aren't great quality.
Food wise, I don't mind but I prefer to buy the organic stuff. Some of the purees did have some additives that I wasn't too fond of.
-
No opinion on food bc we never gave premade purees and supplemented with Similac Soy. But I'm not a fan of their clothing line!
-
We usually get other "crunchy" pouches and snacks (like Ella's, Earth's Best, Plum, etc.) but have really been happy with the Gerber stuff we've used! I think C likes the Gerber puffs the best.
-
@T.H.O.U.: Are those the later stages of purees? I kept hearing that and when I went to look at our stage 1 and stage 2 purees, they had ingredient lists like "Peas, water" Nothing else listed.
-
@highwire: They are the stage 2 stuff, I think more when you get into combos especially with the cereal mixed in.

no opinion on food as we've never tried it. i buy their white onesies for DS, but tend to stay away from their other clothes because it runs small~
-
I've used them before, the sweet potatoes, butternut squash, the applesauce. I brought them on vacation.
eta: some people hate it because it's owned by Nestle, but that's not enough of a reason for me.
-
@T.H.O.U.: @regberadaisy: oh yeah, their clothes totally suck.
-
Don't like the clothes, as PP said, but we had no prob with the organic purees and regular puffs back when LO was in that stage.
-
I go organic for pouches and did for baby food but have bought a few of the snacks and T likes them (wagon wheels, lil crunchies).
-
@T.H.O.U.: Thanks! Guess I will steer clear of the mixed stuff!
-
LOVE their formula. The best of the "regular" formulas.
Purees: I've bought a mix of gerber, gerber organic, earth's best, plum, ella's kitchen, happy baby, and homemade....and haven't really noticed a difference between the brands. If anything I'd say dd likes plum and gerber the best, and earth's best the least. Let's be honest, I'm not going to ALWAYS buy organic. I don't go to extremes either way..not all gerber/non organic, but not all organic. I've also used the mixed..the pedi said it was ok, but our pedi also recommends cereal for iron, so take that however you want.
No opinion on the puffs versus other brands.
As for the clothes, they do run small. I had some for when lo was a newborn, but not really after that (if I remember right.)

@looch: same here...
