2009 Baby Food History
Slide 2
Prologue In this work I will talk about Baby Foods. I find this
theme very intriguing and that is why I chose it. What I also find
interesting is that people tend to know only one thing about baby
foods: that they are the food that our mothers and parents gave to
us when we were babies. But what you and your parents may dont know
is the history of baby foods. Who invented them? Where were they
created? And what were the first flavors of baby foods ? For this
reason is that I am doing that research paper and here you can find
everything about them. The first baby foods were created at London
in 1867. Later, in 1928, is that this idea came to America. Through
this project you will find information, some important aspects in
the history of baby foods, some genres where with my creativity I
created some humor and a lot of relevant information for your
future life as parents.
Slide 3
Introduction Every day in this world, there are thousands of
babies born. Many of these babies are fed during their first months
of life by their own mothers. After a certain period of time, the
way the children are fed must be changed. They go from being fed by
their mothers to some sort of diets. Their new diets include
cereals and other nutrients. In this stage is when mothers
incorporate Baby Foods. The Baby Foods Products were created by
1867 in London to fulfill the need of new forms and ways to feed
children who can no longer be fed naturally by their mothers. Today
if you ask any mother or expecting mother about the history of baby
foods, they have no idea. If you ask them who invented baby food
they wouldnt know either. Why such person invented baby food and
they have absolutely no idea. Finally if you ask how the Baby Foods
products became an international need they still do not know. The
history of Baby Foods is very interesting because we can see what
types of foods we consume during the first years of our lives and
from where that food came. Also, it is also interesting to observe
how much the baby food history has developed from their first years
only having 3 kinds of baby foods (Oats, Barley and Rice) until
nowadays that parents have hundreds of flavors to choose from. In
1867 the first baby food company was founded in London by Liebigs
soluble foods. They were the first to use different ingredients
than milk to melt the baby foods. A lot of companies were created
in those days imitating Liebigs Company and use other complements
like water. They criticized Liebigs for the use chemicals and other
unnatural things.
Slide 4
Introduction In 1874, baby foods expanded to the United Kingdom
and took an alliance with United States to develop new baby foods
that are more artificial to export them from United Kingdom to USA.
That was possible because of the Nestle Company until 1877 when
laws were created and the company confronted some problems. The
basics problem was the same that we have today that mothers dont
buy those products because they dont know with what those baby
foods are made and what they contain than can cause a reaction to
their babies. Here, is that the companies start the promotion and
until 1880 is when most of the mothers were informed about baby
foods and they said that this was the new era for feeding their
babies. In 1928, the baby foods arrived to United States by the
Gerber Company. And after years of success have come also years of
concerned parents. People nowadays ask how do they maintain the
quality on their products? They accomplish all the laws that the
government put on them, they overlook the work of their employees
and they do their baby foods with the best products you can
imagine. Here starts the development of a new era in baby foods for
mother of America. Dorothy Gerber brought new baby food flavors
that the doctors recommended after seeing that she put
announcements on grocery stores and some advertisements in
pharmacies. She started making offers of 6 cans of baby foods for 1
dollar. Later, in 1930 the Gerber Company started putting baby
foods in other cans that doctors preferred and recommended. At that
same time Gerber was recognized as the best company of baby food
developments and Dorothy Gerber was in several journals and
interviews by those days.
Slide 5
Introduction After all of this excitement and development in
1950, in 1960 Beechnuts company was created challenging Gerber.
But, they emphasized in milk formula for infants and had a great
approach in all United States. They developed baby foods too, but,
today Gerber controlls the market in 83%. The baby foods story
continues and they have some developments. New baby foods were
created, new milk Formulas and snacks for babies were created but
the doctors have been insistent and recommend that every mother
breast feed their babies until 6 months or maybe more, that is the
better baby food that they can bring to them.
Slide 6
Introduction Finally along this research project you are going
to see what necessity that family or better said Dorothy Gerber
sustains around their houses, around all United States and finally
worldwide. After I found a lot of information about baby foods, a
little bit of Gerber baby food history, some timelines of Gerber
product company developments and finally the Gerber baby food
economy and most strictly conditions of production I can predict
that all the students or better said all my classmates will know
what they consumed during the first years of their lives. And we
can inform our mothers too and said that in one moment the Baby
Food Company emphasizes more in their promotions on the mother
rather than the baby.

Slide 16
Epilogue: Talking about baby food not was to easy. At the first
impression I thought that went to be a very easy project were I can
talk a lot about baby foods but thats not true. I need to find a
lot of information and the web sites from the UPRM library dont
bring to you the enough information. You need to look in a lot of
search's and books and in different sites like ProQuest and others.
I learned a lot from this research paper. Now I can give feed back
to all of this mothers than dont know anything about baby foods. I
can said that I really learned a lot from this research that was a
big once. That type of writing or better said the Research paper is
something very different from other types of writings; here you can
express your self between everything that you wrote on. You can
support your themes, talk about theme, express your personal
opinion and criticize. In a essay you only write info or something
about a theme that somebody bring to you or better said a professor
give to you.
Slide 17
Epilogue: That research paper is for every people that want to
know what they eat or what their parents fed them at them their
first years of life. Here you can find the complete history about
baby foods and their development within the pass of the years. Mi
goals are complete I finish my research paper with the enough
information to educate everybody and to educate my self too. That
research project is a very expensive one were we find everything
about information and some extras like the genres; that genres I
think that was the most easy ones to did on my theme: baby foods
and the most ones that I liked. I spend a lot of time doing them; I
hope that you liked and you can understand them.
