Quickly learning to use other brands as well. Especially when beechnut doesn't have what you are looking for. Maybe they were sold out but I couldn't find the squash stage 1 or 2 jars at my local super markets so I did get the gerber ones. The only reason I was hesitant towards using the gerber foods is because I heard they were watery but you know what, so are the beechnut jars. Well at least the carrott jars are.
