Make this a constant: Mix up organic formula if breastfeeding isn’t in the calculations. Formula - toxins = healthy baby + planet.The Benefits:
- No negative chems. Organic formulas are chem-free, which means no risk of melamine, a potentially harmful milk additive.
- Getting a second degree of iron. Iron-fortified organic formula helps prevent anemia.
- No FOIL-ing the environment. Organic milk, soy, and sunflower oil are free of pesticides and chems that can soak into soil and pollute waterways.
Personally Speaking:
Biter and Northampton, MA, mother of four Sarah Buttenwieser says her one-year-old Saskia is thriving on Earth’s Best, which isn’t as heavy as regular formula, making it go down easy. “It so beats the sludge the hospital gave her.”
Wanna Try:
- Similac Organic Infant Formula - cow-milk-based, iron-fortified formula with DHA and ARA fatty acids that aid brain and eye development ($18/12.9 ounces).
- Earth's Best Organic Infant Formula - cow-milk-based, iron-fortified formula with DHA and ARA. Also: soy formula ($17-$28/13.2-25.75 ounces).
- Baby’s Only Organic Lactose Free Formula - cow-milk-based, iron-fortified formula. Also: lactose-free and soy versions ($15/12.7 ounces).
Timeout
Saskia turns one today. Happy birthday!
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Mama Biters choose organic formula instead of the regular stuff for a month, we’ll keep the weight of 3,875 math geeks in chem-produced formula ingredients outta our babies’ bellies.
