Beech-nut Vs Gerber foods

Monkeygirl26

Which do you like better and why ?

Is there a difference or just a name ?

I'm not starting solids 'till 6 months and I also plan on making most of DD's food, but I was lurking on 6-12 last night and I got that Gerber has dairy and beech-nut does not, which makes a difference for some.  Also it seems as though beech nut may not be as expensive.  

Again I don't really know I'm just repeating what I saw on here last night.

Cost wise they're about the same, Gerber is just pennies more expensive.  K will only eat Beech Nut.  She didn't like the Gerber foods.  I personally tasted both and really didn't see a difference.  But K will eat Beechnut carrots and peas and greenbeans, but won't eat the Gerber versions of those.  So I buy beechnut.

beechnut was the first to remove extra fillers/sugars.  It also seems to be a little high quality, if not as marketed as gerber.

I don't really see much of a difference.  DS ate the green beans from both brands and didn't seem to prefer one over the other.  I had bought Gerber in preparation for starting solids and now we have a Beech-Nut variety pak from BJ's.  The Beech-Nut variety pak was cheaper than the Gerber one and it came with a $1.50 off coupon for the next package!
