Customer Reviews

Don't listen to that guy!
He obviously does not know that sugar is in all formula and in all milk. The fact that the sugar in Organic Similac is from cane sugar and not corn syrup makes a world of difference. By feeding your child Organic milk you are keeping the fertilizers, pesticides, and antibiotics out of your child. FYI, ingredients in fertilizers and pesticides which are transferred to regular milk cows through eating the grass and in turn consummed by your child are CARCINOGENS. More importantly, your child will not ingest the antibiotics given to regular cows which lowers the affectiveness of antibiotics given to your child when he or she needs them.

Read this article first
I thought I was doing the right thing by buying organic and thought Similac was a brand I could trust to be good for baby. That is, until I came across this NY Times article about the sugar they use... [...] Needless to say I'm switching to another brand.

From the article:

Parents may be buying [Similac Organic] because they believe that organic is healthier, but babies may have a reason of their own for preferring Similac Organic: it is significantly sweeter than other formulas. It is the only major brand of organic formula that is sweetened with cane sugar, or sucrose, which is much sweeter than sugars used in other formulas.

No health problems in babies have been associated with Similac Organic. But to pediatricians, there are risks in giving babies cane sugar: Sucrose can harm tooth enamel faster than other sugars; once babies get used to its sweeter taste, they might resist less sweet formulas or solid foods; and some studies suggest that they might overeat, leading to rapid weight gain in the first year, which is often a statistical predictor of childhood obesity.

Check you local Sam's Club!!! and definitely buy Organic for babies/toddlers
Love this formula. Have also used Earth's Best Organic Soy with great success. I live in St. Louis and discovered the Similac Organic 30.8 oz cans for $19.87 at one Sam's, but not available at all Sam's. Have used this successfully for 4 months after exclusive breastfeeding for 6. Also used this on my first child with success. As far as the constipation issue, it's usually the switch that causes constipation or the extra iron in the milk (feel free to Google "milk formula constipation" to read from the experts). There is nothing in an Organic milk formula that would cause more constipation than regular formula.....it's more likely that the switch itself is the cause. As far as the extra cost goes, come on...it's a developing brain in a new life that you are impacting. Corn syrup (found in most formula) is typically made from geneticallhy altered corn and highly processed with sulfuric acid; the oils used are processed with hexane. And while I'm on my hippie soap box, it is known the food dyes and preservatives contribute to ADD in children, so why does Gerber include it in it's powdered Liquilyte (comparable to Pedialyte) and Tylenold uses red dye in its infant/children's cherry flavored oral formula? So, you use these products when your children are already physically compromised....is it necessary to include dyes and stick more chemicals in their systems? Do you think my ill 10 month old cares about what color the tylenol is? Check it out....too many parents just blindly shove anyting down their kids throats, not because they are not excellent, caring parents, but because there is a sense of "trust" with regard to major manufacturers. Sounds like most parents writing these reviews have done their research - be sure to do yours, too! :)
Thanks for taking the time to read this! Here's is some good info on ingredients in formula (not promoting this product, just providing a source of info... http://www.babyorganic.com/cart.php?page=why_buy_organic )
