Meet the 2026 Gerber Baby from Minnesota

Each year, Gerber goes on the hunt for their newest baby brand ambassador. It's called the Gerber Photo Search, where they ask parents to submit a photo of their baby to be considered for the role of that year's Gerber Baby.

Our 2026 Gerber Baby winner was just announced and he's from Minnesota! His name is Cameron Chung, and his parents are Rachael and Alden.

2026 Gerber Baby Winner

This year's Gerber Photo Search theme was 'Behind the Baby'. Gerber wanted to hear about the parents and their story with raising their baby. That's what inspired Rachael and Alden to nominate Cameron.

Alden told People,

'Gerber’s focus on parents as 'unsung heroes' motivated me to enter as a dedication to my wife. Rachael has always carried the 'unsung hero' title'

Cameron had colic for 8 months, so that by itself was tough to handle. But then Alden suffered and injury within the first few months of Cameron being born and couldn't help much. So Rachael was carrying a majority of the weight.

And on top of all of that, she was working full-time. Alden said,

'Navigating my injury as new parents all while she was experiencing postpartum with a colicky baby, that title couldn't have been truer. She literally carried us both through our darkest days, all while working full-time and winning Employee of the Year'

As the 2026 Gerber Baby, Cameron will appear in Gerber ads and social media posts. The family also receives $50,000 and Gerber Childrenswear "Grow with Us" wardrobe valued at $2,000.
