While I’m happy that my 11 month old is more interested in food these days — I worry about her getting enough nutrition, since she won’t nurse anymore and drinks a lot less formula. I want to make sure she gets enough DHA– a nutrient naturally found in breast milk, which supports an infant’s visual and mental development. It’s also added to the formula I’ve been using. Beech-Nut was the first company to add DHA to their food, with their DHA plus+ line. It also includes an all-natural prebiotic, which supports babies’ digestive health by stimulating the growth of “good” bacteria. It contains no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, added sugar or salt.
My daughter loves sweet potatoes and carrots, so giving her Beech-Nut’s DHA plus+ Sweet Potatoes and Carrots was a no brainer. The DHA plus+ Whole Grain Cereal with Raspberries and Whole Wheat Pasta Parmesan were also gobbled down heartily.
We also like Beech-Nut’s Good Morning & Good Evening line. Both contain whole grains and are designed to give baby a good start and good finish for their day. The Good Morning Creamy Wheat with Peaches and the Good Morning Mixed Fruit Yogurt were my daughter’s favorites. A Good Evening dinner fave was the Creamy Chicken Noodle Dinner.
When it comes to baby cereal, Beech-Nut does one of the smartest things I’ve seen — they package their cereal in an “Easy Pour Package”, which mimics a 1/2 gallon of milk and really pours easily. I appreciate that the cereal doesn’t get all over my counter when I try to pour a little — like the standard box of baby cereal.
We are giving away three (3) Beech-Nut baby gift bags. Each bag contains a variety of Stage 2 jarred purees and cereals, including options from their Good Morning & Good Evening and DHA plus lines. The estimated value of each gift bag is $15.
To enter, post a comment and let us know which variety of baby food you’d like to see on the shelves next.
as long as they continue with the good morning and good evening varieties…we’ll keep buying them! My daughter loves every single one of them! i wish they had more of a stage 3 variety…but I use the baby food as a supplement to the dinner I make for the family.

I love the fact that they are adding the DHA to the food. I would like to see some different flavors, you know, mix it up a little! My little guy is at Stage 2 now, and I like being able to offer him healthy pre-packaged food.
I’d love beechnut to have more meatless options, maybe a spinach lasagna. My daughter isn’t a vegetarian, but I am, and I keep the leftovers from going to waste!

DHA all the way! Right now I find myself adding neuromins to my son’s meals once a day. This is yet another product that makes life easier for moms and healthier for babes!!! I would like to see more stage 3 variety as well!
I would like to see more whole grain cereals with different fruits. My daughter loves her cereal.
I tend to love the fruit blends, and would love to see ethnic foods as well-hubby is from Central America, and they have a whole different Latin line down there which would be great here too.
I like anything that is a little different from the usual, apples, banana, squash, carrots, etc…
I love the good morning/night, would love some more interesting greens…
I’d love to see more Stage 3 varieties. I really am happy with the huge selection they already have.
What about spinach, asparagus and kale? (greens)
I would like to see more plain, no-combo foods in the DHA line. We are adding one new item to her menu at a time and my local Kroger only carries the “dinner” varieties.
DHA & wholegrain oatmeal options with fruit
My son has an anaphalactic allergy to eggs. Beechnut is great because their noodle dishes don’t have eggs. I wish that Beechnut would make more eggless and allergy friendly baby/toddler foods.
Thank you for the giveaway. I know my lil’ granddaughter will enjoy eating Beechnut foods. 🙂
