Hearty Homemade Yogurt Parfait for Baby Using Gerber Lil’ Bits!
My daughter is finally eating solid foods and enjoying them! I love watching her face every time she eats a new food. It is wonderful to see her eyes light up when she comes across tastes and textures that she likes and are new to her. Something else that is fun is seeing her want to enjoy the same foods that she see’s me eating. I know that she is watching me and she is learning from me so I want to make sure I always show her and give her the best.
One of my favorite meals to eat is Breakfast. Each morning my oldest daughter and I enjoy overnight oats with yogurt and fruit. I love how hearty it is as well as tasty. For a few weeks now my youngest has watched intently as my oldest and I enjoy our oats. She is constantly crying and reaching for our food. This got me to thinking….can I make her some of the same thing? I know that she can not chew steal cut oats yet but she can most defiantly have her baby approved oatmeal. Plus thanks to Gerber she can also have some Gerber Lil’ Bits fruit and then I top it off with baby friendly yogurt! Yummy!
Ingredients:
2tbs Baby Safe Oatmeal
4tbs Gerber 3rd Foods Lil’ Bits fruity flavor of choice ( I used Apple Blueberry)
3tbs baby safe yogurt flavor of choice.
Directions:
1. Mix 2tbs oat meal with 4-5 tbs water.
2. Smooth into bottom of bowl.
3. Add Gerber 3rd Foods Lil’Bits Fruity Flavor of Choice.
4. Smooth over oatmeal carefully not to mix them together.
5. Add yogurt to the top, smoothing carefully.
6. Serve and let your baby enjoy!
Now I don’t have to feel so bad when I eat my morning breakfast. She is able to have the same thing as me but in a texture and consistency that is ok for her. She is still very young and I know that she needs to take her time and learn how to eat her foods before I can start pushing big people foods on her. Right now the Gerber Lil’ Bits is the perfect texture and consistency for her to get used to eating.
Gerber 3rd Foods with Lil’ Bits is a great way to introduce hearty textures to your little one. I love that each Lil Bit is helping my daughter learn how to chew. I also love that there are 20 different flavors of Gerber 3rd Food Lil’ Bits that I can introduce to my baby girl.
Gerber 3rd Foods Lil’ Bits selects their ingredients carefully to ensure the highest quality of GERBER® standards. There is no added starch, artificial colors or flavors!
What is your favorite Go-To Baby Food Recipe for your little one?
It’s been a long time since I needed baby food, I wish they had these great products when my kids were little. They look and sound delicious and seem like it would help introduce flavors and textures that will benefit them as they grow.
Brilliant! I’ll have to share this with my sister for my niece. She would love it!
This is a recipe I would have made for my kids when they were babies. We have a grand baby in the family, and I am totally sharing this recipe with her mommy.
Both my babies were such picky eaters. However, I bet they would have both liked something like this! Looks tasty for my little ones!
Oh my, what an adorable idea. I know my littles tended to get so bored with the same old thing, so it is such a great idea that you mixed things up. Thanks for sharing
I don’t have any little ones like this. I would have loved to make this for my girls when they were younger though. I’ll have to share this with a few people I know with little ones.
I have heard a lot of about these. Glad they have fun breakfast options for babies!
These look so delicious for little taste buds. I wish I would have had something like this when my kids were younger.
We always used Gerber when my kids were younger. They really loved the finger foods but this would have been delicious for them.
We have Always trusted gerber food and I love the recipes you created and am definitely going to share them with my sister in law who has two littles at home!
That’s so fun! It’s such a struggle to get the kids eating healthy early on, so I seriously applaud your idea to get them started!
What a fun treat for baby. Our granddaughter is starting to eat solids so I am keeping things like this in mind.
This is such a cute idea. This is a great way to spice things up for baby .
Gerber Lil’ Bits look like a great option for kids. This is a great breakfast idea,. I will have to share this with my friends with little ones.
My little one loves her Gerber Lil’ Bits. I will have to make her this for breakfast in the morning, I am sure it will be a big hit.
Gerber was our go to food for our kids when they were little. Gerber Lil’ Bits sounds like a great way to change up some meals.
It is a fun idea to use baby food as an ingredient instead of just a stand alone food item. This is a good way of doing it.
Gerber has some of the best recipes for babies. I can’t remember now what I fed my daughter when she was little, but I am thinking that carrots were her favorite.
This looks so good! I think any baby would love it!
What a fun idea to make little parfaits! Looks like a great breakfast.
