Baby's Only Organic Dairy with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula, 12.7 Oz (Pack of 1) | | USDA Organic | Clean Label Project Verified | Brain & Eye Health

Baby's Only Lactorelief has made a huge difference in our 10 week old! Our baby was breastfed with supplementation for his first 6 weeks. After being advised to stop breast feeding due to medical issues, we had no choice but to switch to 100% formula. Our little guy had constant gas pains, terrible reflux and colic which began when he was 2 weeks. We tried Enfamil Newborn and Gentlease which made him gag and cry for hours. We then switched to Similac Sensitive which he tolerated better, but still presented terrible reflux and was crying through the night. We then tried Simliac Soy, thinking he may have a dairy allergy; this gave him terrible gas, not to mention thick and pasty dirty diapers. He had choking spells during feedings with all of the above formulas, including breast milk. He was sleeping 4 hours max at night and having many bouts of crying spells due to gas pains and reflux. We switched to Baby's Only when he was 8 weeks old. After two days on this formula he began sleeping through the night and became a different baby. His colic stopped as he only cried when he had obvious needs. We went from giving him prescribed Prevacid (for his reflux) once a day to once or twice a week. He now sleeps 7 hours through the night and is such a happy baby. I am so thankful we found Baby's Only. My main concerns about this formula in the beginning were "Toddler Formula" and the "DHA and ARA." I emailed the company and received a response within hours. They stated this formula is safe and intended for infants. It is advertised as toddler formula to promote breast feeding for the first year. They explained that the non essential fatty acids (DHA and ARA) are not added to this formula, but the essential fatty acids required for DHA and ARA are. A healthy infant or toddler has the capability of making the essential fatty acids into DHA and ARA. It is comforting knowing my baby is still getting the essential fatty acids without the worry of algal and fungal sources being added like they are in all other formulas. Another benefit to this formula is it does not contain Hexane (a type of gasoline) that is found in all other formulas. As a parent we want to ensure the health and safety of our children, and I believe this formula is the best choice for our child!

This really is a superb product. I chose the whey protein because it seems to closely match that of breastmilk. Of course, nothing truly compares to breastmilk but this is one of the best formulas. Prior to choosing Babys Only Whey Protein my 4 month old (he started at 3 months) son went through formula after formula. I'm struggling with a low supply so I have to supplement. He was having constipation, gassy, fussy and I felt bad for him. I went through everything...Similac, Gerber, Enfamil. Variations of different brands...gentle, organic, etc. Nothing helped. He's been on this about 3 weeks or so. No problems. His bowel movements are regular again, no more crying and it apparently tastes good because he doesn't push it out with his tongue like he did with some of the others. Also this doesn't have a smell...some of the others we tried did. The only issue is the price. You can find this on the Nature One website for $14.99 plus shipping which totals about $19 so I was comfortable purchasing it from Amazon since I have prime. The price was $19.08 with 2 day shipping so I was getting it faster. However, the price is raising...it's gone up to $21....no sir....no ma'am. I shall not pay inflation price. I was considering one of the other kinds of Babys Only like Dairy or the DHA since they are cheaper, although I really want to stick with Whey. That's when I discovered from one of the reviews that you can purchase at Whole Foods...I didn't know that. I called my local Whole Foods and sure enough they have it. Bonus: they have the Whey Protein and it's $12.99!!! I will no longer purchase from Amazon and their high price. If they dropped it to a reasonable price that's on point to how much the original manufacturer sells it for then I would buy from Amazon but until then...off to Whole Foods I go!!! So happy that the price is CHEAPER! This is a great product!

After extensive research, I came to the conclusion that Baby's Only is THE ONLY FORMULA on the US market that I would feel completely comfortable feeding to my baby. I breastfed my first two and never dreamed that this would be an issue. Then my third came along and we had problem after problem after problem nursing! I pumped exclusively for 5 months but then my supply went away and I had to supplement.Let me start by saying I've already tried many other brands, and almost all of them have given my son troubles (severe diaper rashes, intense diarrhea, projectile vomiting). He has an extremely sensitive tummy, and this is the one brand that I have tried that has not affected him negatively whatsoever. We've been using it for a couple of months now.In addition, this is the ONLY brand (yes - even out of all those organic brands on the US market) that doesn't use high fructose corn syrup, AND the absolutely only brand that uses egg yolks as the source of DHA, rather than algae that is hexane filtered.Last but not least, don't let the "toddler formula" title mislead you. They put that on all of their cans because they want to encourage breastfeeding for the first year, but this formula is perfectly fine for infants! That really confused me when I first saw it, so I wanted to clear that up for anyone else who was perplexed by that.Bottom line - do your research, decide what's best for your baby, but after many long hours of searching/comparing I can honestly tell you that Baby's Only is the best you can find in the US. I say US because I know there are European brands that are just as excellent, if not superior, but you DO have to weigh the cost and time of having it shipped to you from overseas if you go that route. :-)Best of luck to you all!
