Hello fellow Mommy's and Daddy's!
Today I have a review for you on Gerber Graduates Puffs. A good friend of mine has a son just a few months older than mine and after seeing him eat Puffs, I really wanted to get them for my son Andrew. However, when I went to the store, I saw on the packaging that babies are typically ready for Puffs when they are crawling, which Andrew wasn't. So I went home empty-handed. :( Wouldn't you know, just a few days later, Andrew started crawling, and one of the first things I did was go get a container of Puffs!
There are a variety of flavors: Vanilla, Banana, Sweet Potato, Apple Cinnamon, Blueberry, and we went with the Strawberry Apple flavor. They are star-shaped little pieces of puffy cereal about the size of my thumb nail. Despite my excitement for Andrew to try these, I was also quite hesitant, as he has only been having bottles, oatmeal cereal, and pureed fruits/veggies up until this point, and I was concerned he might choke on them. I put them on Andrew's high chair tray and he grabs them and puts them in his mouth. He REALLY likes them. In fact, I only put them out for him one at a time, otherwise he'll end up with three Puffs in one hand trying to get them all in at once. :) When they get to his mouth, they dissolve pretty quickly, which eases my concern about choking. When the puffs get wet, they also get sticky and mushy. Sometimes I will find sticky, mushy puffs that missed his mouth in the seat of his high chair. I am one of those moms who likes to try whatever my baby eats, so naturally I popped one in my mouth. They are pretty good tasting for baby food! It is a cereal SNACK though, so I definitely don't recommend making a meal out of theses. VERY surprising to me, the serving size is 77 Puffs, but I have never come close to giving him that many in one sitting.
These run around $2.00 per container, which I don't think is too terrible, but if you are a Sams Club member, they sell a 6-pack variety of Apple & Banana flavors for $9.98! Can't beat that deal! I am looking forward to purchasing some of the other flavors, and would definitely recommend Gerber Graduates Puffs for those of you starting your kiddos on finger foods for the first time!
