 Nutritional value is "meh," but my kid loves these things Jul 20, 2011
By Zachary J. Rodman
"zackeeus"
Like the title of my review says, these little puffs aren't much different from run-of-the-mill Cheerios in terms of their healthiness--though they are somewhat better--but our little man (15 months old as of this date) absolutely loves them. They are pretty unsubstantial, so he can snack away on them without fear of ruining his dinner appetite. Other things that I like:
1) They're organic. I don't know how many pesticide molecules are finding their way into a box of Cheerios, but my guess is not many! Still, I like that these are organic. Every little bit helps, right?
2) They dissolve very quickly so there's never any fear of choking no matter how many he stuffs in at once.
3) The container is more convenient that a box of cereal.
4) Like I said before, my son really enjoys these.
In terms of health value, I find them to be similar to Cheerios. If you adjust for the weight or volume differences, comparing the nutritional information shows that the Cheerios have more vitamins and fiber, but also more sugar and sodium. Though none of these amounts are really significant concerns to me. For example, a half cup of Cheerios has .7g of Sugar while the HB Puffs have 0.
Now for the one negative--the real kicker--and the reason why I am giving this very good product just 4 stars. Purchasing these from Amazon (6-pack, as of July 20, 2011) will cost you about $1.47/ounce. Purchasing a 14oz box of Cheerios from Amazon on the other hand is just 21 cents/oz. The HB Organic puffs are 7X more expensive! (And of course, getting a 19lb box at Costco changes the equation further). But unless you're giving your kid a ton of these, or you're feeding multiple kids, the price difference probably isn't a deal breaker.
In conclusion, I'd try them both and see which your little sprout goes for. Can't really go wrong in either case.

 Finally! Mar 02, 2011
By Amber
My 10 month old is milk protein intolerant and I have Celiacs, so her pediatrician is having me hold off on introducing wheat. I am SO happy to finally find a wheat-free, dairy-free, baby-friendly finger food! My kiddo loves eating them, too!

Son loves these! Mar 29, 2011
By heather araujo
My son is 15months and this is still one of his favorite gluten free snacks. I just wish they would make all their puffs gluten free. He dosen't seem to mind though.

Gluten free Aug 30, 2011
By MD
Pretty sure these are the only puffs that happy baby makes that are gluten free. For a baby with an allergy, these have been perfect. My one year old still eats them because she has no teeth.
They do go stale in the container if your baby doesn't finished them in a few days.

Food allergy friendly for us! Dec 03, 2011
By B. Harrington
"veryhappyfamily"
I want to say THANK YOU to happybaby for making the organic sweet potato puffs that are gluten free. My son has severe milk, egg, and oat food allergies. The irony is that these are labeled as a "gluten free" food, but it is also free of the other allergens. It is very hard to find a product that satisfies his allergy needs. Everything is either milk free and has oats/wheat... or gluten free and has milk protein.
We buy this product in bulk from Amazon and will continue to do so as long as they continue to be milk, egg, gluten, and oat free!
I'd give this product ten stars if I could.
THANKS again to happybaby and thanks to Amazon for making them available in bulk at an affordable price!!!
(PS. If your child has food allergies, please read the label and don't take my word on it! They could always change the ingredients.)
