The Gerber Company initiated this revolution in infant feeding by expanding the scope of the canned foods industry. According to the Gerber company history, in 1927 Dorothy Gerber laboriously hand-strained vegetables for her seven-month-old daughter, Sally, and urged her husband, Daniel, to consider manufacturing stained baby food at the Gerber family's Fremont Canning Company. The next year, the company introduced strained peas, Prunes, carrots, and spinach to the market.
The first baby foods made by Gerber were spinach, carrots, beef vegetable soup, strained peas, and prunes. The company was founded in Fremont, Michigan in 1927.

it is made in a company and a machine makes the little Gerber jar and put the food in it and put the tag on it

Gerber knives are made by a separate company from the baby food company and have no connection outside of a common name. Good question though.
A long time ago. Gerber's baby food was given as a gift from north Americans in the 1980's to help child famine. Africans first denied the product because of their insecurity of not being able to provide for their country. Africans believed that having food given to them made the world see them as a weaker country in the global spectrum.

Gerber makes "graduates" food for toddlers. It's nutritious and is more like regular food than their normal baby food. The meals often contain fruits and vegetables.
Ann Turner became the Gerber Baby in 1928 after family friend, neighbor and artist, Dorothy Hope Smith, made a charcoal drawing of 5 month old Ann. The little girl's father (cartoonist Leslie Turner) submitted the drawing to Gerber after they reported that they were looking for images of babies and the drawing was chosed to represent all of Gerber's baby food line. Ann Turner (later Ann Turner Cooke) became an elementary, middle-school and then High School teacher before becoming a publish author of mystery novels.

the reaason why people find baby food made out of only apricots is because that is the most softest food a baby can eat. other baby food still have little chuncks in them which may choke the baby.

Gerber doesn't make many baby blankets. They mainly make thin receiving blankets. My favorite baby blankets are made by Carters. They make high quality affordable blankets.
Toys made from food grade plastic or silicon are safe for a baby.
