Formula Brands

Anyone using a formula besides Similac? I was looking into an organic formula such as Holle or Hipp. Thoughts?

Re: Formula Brands

  • I use Similac. They have an organic mix of formula. I'm cool with the regular, thoigh. I know that all formula is extremely regulated and if the AAP wanted parents to strictly use organic formula, they would recommend it. That said, everyone makes the best choices for their own baby and I hope you find the info you're looking for. :-)

  • We're using Vermont's Organic and are really happy with it. It's one of the best organic formula's out there. It's only available on-line, you can get it on amazon, a 4 pack is about $90. I find the price pretty reasonable personally.

    We also used Earth's Best which is also a good formula for a little while because we got a bunch at our shower. Plus you can find it in stores. We didn't have any problems with it, in just like Vermont's better personally.

    Beware of the similac organic. It's made with cane sugar and is much sweeter. As a result babies want to eat more than other brands which can contribute to obesity. Also I've read that when you transition to solids it's harder to get kids to eat the vegetables and and foods that aren't fruit and sweet. Based on my research pediatrician's don't recommend the simillac organic.

    Hope this helps!!!
