The Gerber Baby Just Turned 90 Years Old — And She’s Still Adorable!

When it comes to baby food, the brand that comes to nearly everyone’s mind is Gerber. Gerber was founded in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan by a gentleman named Daniel Frank Gerber. Daniel was already in the business of canned fruit and vegetables when his pediatrician wife, Dorothy, suggested that he make strained foods for their own baby. A new business idea was born! It wasn’t long after that Gerber baby became the go-to baby food brand across America.

Besides their food products, Gerber became very famous for one other thing: the Gerber Baby! That’s right, that iconic baby face logo that appears on all of the Gerber products. But have you ever wondered who that baby was?
