Hello gratitudee-ga,

Although he is often erroneously identified as the Gerber Baby,
Humphrey Bogart was actually the Mellins Baby food baby.

References: 

Internet Movie Database
http://us.imdb.com/Bio?Bogart,%20Humphrey
“Maud Bogart's drawing of her baby Humphrey appeared in a national
advertising campaign for Mellin's baby food (often erroneously
reported as Gerber).”

“ADVERTISING HISTORY: Bogie and baby food; an unlikely duo but in
reality, Humphrey Bogart as a baby was "The Mellins Baby Food Baby".
The picture was painted by Bogies Mother; Maude Humphrey Bogart. Even
a tough guy; has a soft side and one does have to eat; just kidding
Bogie.”

“I had never heard this one before a web search turned it up, but
apparently it was rumored that Bogie is the baby whose picture is
featured on Gerber baby food products. But it's not true. Bogie was
used as a model by his mother, an advertising artist, and he appeared
on products by a company named Mellin, but Gerber didn't even exist
until he was around 28 years old.”

I hope this helps.
