hi stepcroft - it may be that rogerr is oflline, now
I do not have this puzzle, so cannot be sure, but, by way of trying to be helpful,
Gerber is a well-known manufacturer / brand of baby food
Gerbera is a genus of ornamental plants, including Gerbera Jamesonii ----- a common name of which is Gerber Daisy
So the reference to babyfood seems to be Gerber, but I am not sure how the last word in the clue 'helper' fits in?
Nor am I sure if the best answer is Gerber or Gerbera ....
I too hope that someone will clarify this
