are you thinking of switching to organic formula?

i never switched her diapers or bottles when they were in the news for harmful chemicals, but i can't keep ignoring everything...so i am thinking of switching to organic formula - does anyone know if they tested that too or is that a given that there would be no such chemicals in organic formula?

    I'm not really up-to-date with what you are referring to, but after I weaned we went to Similac Organic.

    I EP and supplement with Similac Organic.  I'm always so freaked out about chemicals it helps ease my mind a bit...although I haven't looked into it in regards to melanamine, but I definitely plan to.

    Although organic could be fine, they don't know where the trace element came from, it could be the machines or the bottles it came in, so who knows?

    The melanamine got into the formula's on accident, I dont think organic formula's are exempt to accidents, they are both made in factories.  Hopefully they fix the problem immediately and it isnt an issue soon.

    I was under the assumption it was in formula from the manufacturing process (from machines or packaging) so it could happen to any formula.

    From what I understood the chemicals were most likely in the packaging so I am not sure if organics are immune. Did they only test the major brands then? I ebf but have some formula just in case.

    I was going to a mommy support class and we were talking about organic vs regular.  I don't know the whole story but the lady who ran the group said to stay away from organic formula because they have sugar in it?  I didn't look into this but I thought that was interesting.

    Similac Organic is made with sucrose. I personally wouldn't use it. However, not all organics are made with sucrose. I've been using Private Selection Organic for a few months now and really like it, and it does not have sucrose in it.

    That said, I don't think organics are exempt from this issue.

    I looked into this when we had to start supplementing. ?All formulas have added sugar though the type varies. ?There was a New York Times article on how Similac Organic has more sugar added than most formulas. However, Similac uses cane sugar which is better than say corn syrup.
