Here are the Best Organic Baby Formulas of 2017!
plumorganicsformula#2. Plum Organics Grow Well Organic Infant Formula. This is the first year that the Plum Organics option is showing up on this list, and we're really excited to see another fantastic organic baby formula option on the market! The first thing to point out is that, like the Baby's Only options, there are no corn syrup solids in the Plum Organics formula. Instead, they used lactose from cow's milk to provide sweetness; lactose is the most abundant carb in human breastmilk, so this was a nice touch. It's kosher dairy, gluten free, and contains no genetically modified ingredients. What it does include is a thoughtful blend of organic lactose, nonfat milk, oils (palm, coconut, soy, etc), whey protein, and a ton of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, omegas, and antioxidants. Yes, it includes DHA (Omega-3) and ARA (Omega-6) to promote development. It also contains important levels of folic acid, choline, calcium, and vitamins D, E, and K. This is truly an infant formula, suggested for use from birth (not for premature babies, however), all the way up to about 1 year of age. The only downfall here is that they use palm oil as an ingredient, and there is some evidence that babies fed formula with palm oil show decreased bone density, presumably because it decreases calcium, palmitic acid, and fat absorption by the baby. A review of this research can be found here. Of course, nobody knows whether the bone density differences persist past the first year (when varied foods are introduced), and even if they do persist, whether they lead to any functional impact on development. Thus, if you're solely feeding with formula, you might want to consider a formula that has a different predominant oil (like the Baby's Own options). Overall, however, this is a very well tolerated baby formula that is worthy of its position on our list.
babysonlyformuladha#3. Baby's Only Organic Formula with DHA and ARA. This option is very similar to #1 above, but it's not the sensitive version so it contains regular lactose levels that you'd find in any dairy formula. Unlike any other formula however, it uses naturally-sourced rather than petroleum-based vitamins, such as vitamin E acetate, and uses brown rice syrup instead of corn syrup solids. It also includes naturally sourced DHA (an omega-3) and ARA (an omega-6), which some research suggests can promote brain development. Note that while we are fully aware that the label says "Toddler Formula," the manufacturer claims that this is only because they suggest breast-feeding for babies under 1 year old, and that it contains high levels of the milk protein casein rather than whey. Our pediatrician said it's suitable for newborns (but always check with your pediatrician first). Negatives? Like any baby formula, some parents suggest that it can cause mild constipation, likely due to the iron fortification. Maybe add a couple drops of prune juice to the mix to get things moving!
earthsbestorganicformula#4. Earth's Best Organic Infant Formula. This is the original organic (and kosher) baby formula to the market - or at least the first widely distributed option. This contains DHA and ARA to promote eye and brain development, and contains no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or pesticides or herbicides. This is a very well-reviewed formula option, and parents report that their babies have an easy time digesting it, and like that it's a bit more affordable than the options at the organic grocers. There is also a low lactose version, called the Sensitivity Infant Formula. We put this down a bit on our list because parents don't like that there are added syrup solids (sugars), and that Earth's Best uses hexane for extracting DHA and ARA from lab-grown algae and fungus. Hexane is a solvent that is also used as a chemical degreaser and industrial cleaner, and is a known neurotoxin. Some think there may be trace levels in baby formulas containing DHA and ARA extracted using hexane. We prefer to stay out of that debate given the lack of sound scientific data one way or the other.

Babies that eat fresh foods instead of processed foods have fewer allergies Research now indicates that 8 percent of children have some kind of food allergy. Common childhood food allergies include reactions to peanuts, nuts, seafood, soy, wheat, and eggs. Medical professionals try to help parents avoid specific foods that seem to be the root of childhood allergies. According to new research from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, food allergies may not come from specific foods but may be developed through overall diet patterns. In essence, conventional medical advice may be misleading parents. The research finds that food allergies exist less often when a baby is raised on a fresh food diet. A nut allergy, for example, may actually derive from a baby's underdeveloped immune system due to an overall poor diet comprised of processed foods. "We have been aware that certain diets seem to reduce the risk of allergy in infants," said Dr. Magnus Wickman, prof...
