Yes. All Gerber products at BB King Kong are 100% genuine, sourced directly from authorised distributors only.

Generally, Gerber fruit purees,Teethers, yogurt melts, and Lil' Crunchies can last up to 12 months. As for cereals, puffs and biscuits have a longer shelf life of 15 months.

Gerber Cereals, Teethers, Puffs, and Lil' Crunchies do not contain milk protein, making them suitable for babies with milk protein allergies. However, some Gerber snacks such as Yogurt Melts and Biscuits, do contain milk. Always check the ingredient list before offering any product to your child.

We recommend starting with a single-grain cereal — either Gerber Organic Rice Cereal or Gerber Organic Oatmeal Cereal. Single-grain cereals contain fewer ingredients, making it easier to identify any food sensitivities in your child.

  1. Pour the desired amount of cereal into a clean bowl.
  2. For babies: stir in breastmilk or infant formula to your preferred consistency. Start with 1 tablespoon of cereal + 4 to 5 tablespoons of liquid.
  3. For toddlers (1 year old and above): mix with milk, water, or Gerber 100% Juice (only serve 1/2 to 2/3 cup of juice per day).
  4. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Discard any uneaten cereal after feeding.

Once your child is accustomed to eating infant cereal, the cereal may be added and stirred with puree (vegetable or fruit) to a texture you desire.

Start with 1–2 spoonfuls a day to help your child adjust to new flavours and textures while you watch for any signs of allergies. If your child is doing well and their milk intake remains unchanged, gradually increase to 4–6 spoonfuls a day.

All Gerber cereals in our store are recommended for babies aged 6 months and above.

According to the recommendations by the Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia, it is best to start solid food starting 6 months old. If you are considering introducing solid food before 6 months, please consult your paediatrician first.

We don't recommend bottle-feeding rice cereals to children, especially when it's their first time. Swallowing rice cereals may cause the baby to choke and suffocate. Solid foods, such as rice cereals, should be spoon-fed unless your doctor says otherwise.

Gerber Cereal contains natural sugars found in grains such as rice, millet, barley, and wheat. We do not add artificial or added sugars. These naturally occurring sugars called glucose are present in small amounts and are safe for your baby.

Toddlers need three small meals and 2–3 healthy snacks each day to meet their nutritional needs. Since snacks provide about one-third of a toddler's daily calories, choose nutritious options over high-calorie, low-nutrient foods.

Offer snacks between meals to help maintain energy levels, encourage healthy eating habits, and support balanced nutrition.

Fortified with essential nutrients
Gerber Snacks are fortified with key nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B vitamins to support your child's nutritional needs and overall growth development.

Designed for little hands
Gerber Snacks are made in age-appropriate sizes and shapes to help babies practise picking up and self-feeding.

Encourages self-feeding skills
Baby-led friendly snacks support independence while helping little ones explore new textures and develop feeding skills.

Gerber snacks are recommended for babies in the Crawler (8+ months) and Toddler (12+ months) stages, when they begin self-feeding, practicing chewing and eating more independently.

Always check the packaging for developmental cues to ensure your child is ready for a specific product.

It is recommended that kids under 1 year old should not be given fruit juice.

For children aged 1–6 years old, limit juice intake to 120–180 ml per day. After the age of 1 year old, water and milk should remain their primary beverages.

If you choose to offer juice:

  • Choose 100% fruit juice with no added sugars.
  • Avoid juice drinks, cocktails, or beverages, as they often contain added sweeteners, flavours, or colourings.
  • Select pasteurised juice to reduce the risk of harmful bacteria.
  • Serve juice in a cup, not a bottle, and always supervise your child while they drink.

No. Baby food can be served cold, warm, or at room temperature. Warming it isn't necessary, but you may prefer to bring refrigerated food to room temperature before serving.

If heating baby food, transfer the desired portion to a microwave-safe dish and heat briefly on reduced power until it reaches body temperature. Stir well to remove hot spots and always test the temperature before feeding your baby.
