Organic Formula?

Organic is better for everybody because it doesn't have the pesticides that get stored in "regular" food. Vegetation that is grown with pesticides encorporates those chemicals in it, so that when we eat the vegetation or the animal that ate the vegetation, the pesticides then gradually build up in our bodies and can cause cancer and dimished immune response to disease.
A longwinded way of saying that if your baby does well digesting the organic formula it is a better choice.
The increased concentration of pesticides in our environment has been suspected of being related to the increased incidence a lot of diseases over the past 50 years.
You always have to assess how your baby responds to any formula, but it's really worth trying it and using it if she reponds well.

its not a good idea to keep switching his formulas around,so before you do it, make sure this is the one you plan to stick with.

As far as Organic being better, I dunno, I think its a prefrence,

I have a 7 week old and have put her on Similac Sensitive to supplement because the normal formulas gave her gas & fussiness (Similac Advanced, Enfamil LIPIL, etc). I think the lactose is the issue. Haven't tried the organic yet.

We use Parents Choice Organic formula, found only at Walmart. It is certified organic and quite frankly is about half the price of other organic formulas. We used it for our now 2 year old and are currently using it for our 4 month old with no problems. We try to feed our children (and ourselves) as much organic food as possible because we're trying to limit our exposure to pesticides and other environmental toxins.

Hi Kristin,

I supplement with Earth's Best Infant Formula. It's an Organic dairy based powder formula. You can get it at diapers.com. I did not want to have to supplement and first tried Enfamil Lipil and to be honest it smelled and looked terrible. Even though I know it was fine for my son I went the organic route and we love the Earth's Best. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.

If your baby is not having any problems digesting the Enfamil formula you are currently feeding him/her then it may be good to stick to it. If you really want to try the Similac Organic than you can but you need to give it to the baby for at least a week to make sure it agrees with him/her. Good luck!

Hi Kristin,
Yes, Organic is better than standard. The ingredients come from a more healty source. Good Luck
