JELLO?
Doesn't sugar free mean it has some kind of weird chemical substitute? I
wouldn't give that to an infant. Sorry, I just don't consider jello to be actual food, wouldn't give it to my child in a million years, no matter the age. And anyway, we're vegetarian, jello is not. At this age, you should just be giving food with real nutritional value, rather than filling up a very small tummy with something with very little nutritional value. Actual fruits and veggies, whole grains, etc. -Karen, mom to Henry 3- |

I'm not sure why you're giving a 9 mo jello, but I would NOT use the sugar-free; I think plain old-fashioned sugar is probably less unhealthy than the sugar-substitutes they use in sugar-free stuff. -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

Still, I'd use the stuff with sugar instead of the sugar free -- at that point, they probably need the calories, anyway. -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

JELLO?
It's made from boiled-down carcasses and waste animal parts. Nasty.

hey - any opinions about giving my 9month old sugar-free jello? tia jenn And lest not forget the all natural ingredients found in Jell-O: WHERE DOES JELL-O COME FROM? The Chicago Tribune of March 5th, 1997 finally answers the question thus: Gelatin seems benign enough. And in fact it is. It's nothing but molecules of protein that have been heated and then, as they cool, trap tiny particles of water. But where does that protein come from? The rumors are always spoken of in hushed terms: that Jell-O is made of horse hooves... or worse. Actually the truth is "worse." The source of the protein in Jell-O is "hide trimmings," animal tissue that is rendered, purified, filtered, and then purified again, leaving a protein called collagen. The FDA doesn't regard it as a "meat product," so, all but the strictest vegetarians find Jell-O acceptable. |
