Pros: provides zinc, calcium, and iron. Tastes good. Perfect texture and good for little hands.
Cons: Wish there was more fiber
The Bottom Line: I like how they taste as much as my son. If you are going to give a treat you might as well give one that provides nutrition.

| daddym's Full Review: Gerber Graduates Banana Cookies |
My wife is very in to trying all the different toddler foods. I noticed my son eating these little moon shaped cookies, and I was wondering why my wife was giving him cookies. She informed me that they wee good for his teething and that they were actually health. Because they were banana cookies made especially for toddlers.
The cookies my son was eating were the Gerber Graduates Banana Cookies. According to the package these cookies are a great source of calcium, iron, and zinc. Zinc is a very essential mineral that is good for the development of children.
I tried one of the cookies myself and I actually liked it. They are are kind of hard which I think is good for the teething. But once you start chewing on them they are more tender. They taste like a combination of banana and Vanilla wafers. The cookies are shaped like little bananas and have cute little faces on them. They are a really nice shape for little fingers to pick up and are just the right size. Children will need to bite on them at least once, make sure they don't put the whole cookie in their mouth at once. My son likes to kind of suck at them, so he does get a bit messy when he eats them, but other toddler cookies have been just as messy.
The serving size is 1 cookie, and there are about 18 servings per box. Each serving is 35 calories, 1 gram of fat, 35 mg of potassium, and there are a total of 6 grams carbohydrate there is no fiber, and there are 2 grams of sugar, and just under 1 gram of protein.
I am a bit disappointed that there is not any fiber.
These cookies provide the 15% of the RDA of vitamin A, 15% calcium, 15% vitamin E, 15% Zinc, 1% protein, 15% iron, and 15% Niacin.
My son really likes these and it is also a really nice love fat snack for daddy, except daddy can eat the whole box.
These cookies are a nice treat. I believe kids should have treats and I am glad to know that my son can have one that is not going to be completely terrible for him. The cookies are tasty, my son loves them, and we can feel good about giving them to him.
I do recommend Gerber Graduates Banana Cookies.
Gerber Graduates Banana Cookies come in a 5 oz box, that costs around $2.99.
