After doing more research it appears the orginal Gerber Baby has remained on the baby food products.
“The original Gerber baby, Ann Turner Cook, died on Friday, according to an announcement from Gerber on Instagram. “Gerber is deeply saddened by the passing of Ann Turner Cook, the original Gerber baby, whose face was sketched to become the iconic Gerber logo more than 90 years ago.Jun 4, 2022
She was 95.
So it seems that the Gerber babies since 2011 was just a contest for a baby to be recognized as a Gerber Baby of the year.
Now maybe since she has passed away this Black Boy may be going on the jars, so he would be the first. Keep an eye out.
I think I remember her passing away. Gerber has been around a long time. Never used any of it....none of us have. Cute baby, but I think my smallest granddaughter is cuter lol. Then again, don’t we all?
I didn’t see your post before I posted mine. Sorry
But it is a good story!
She was the cutest baby ever. Boy do I feel old, that she passed away at 95 recently.
Well I have to say I think black babies are just adorable. My poor son was born with a conehead and blotchy skin all over the place. Luckily it wasn’t birthmarks and it all went away. But when I see black babies, they have the smoothest prettiest skin.
