Are organic baby formulas available?

It is widely believed that mother’s milk is best for baby, but for a variety of reasons there are times that parents choose formula. Many parents believe that feeding organic foods to their children is especially important because young children may lack many of the natural defenses that protect adults against the effects of pesticides.

As far as I know at this time there are two organic baby formulas available. These formulas are Baby’s Only Organic® made by Nature’s One, available in both milk- and soy-based formulas, and Horizon Organic™ Infant Formula With Iron made by Horizon Organic. For more information on these formulas, check out www.naturesone.com and www.horizonorganic.com.

It is important to speak with your pediatrician or doctor before making any changes in your baby’s formula.
