| MoonSine's Full Review: Babys Own Organic Toddler Formula |
How would you like that little bundle of joy to sleep through the night? Does that sound too good to be true? Well, that is what happened with my son after starting this product. I searched long and hard for an organic formula for my infant and I am so glad I found this one.
My baby was 6 weeks premature. Due to my health problems and his, nursing just wasn't a viable option. Oh, I struggled valiantly at it for weeks. I cried and cried when I finally had to give it up. I put him on Enfamil and was just riddled with guilt every time I stuck that bottle full of hormones, pesticides and just general low quality ingredients into his tiny little mouth. I started searching for an organic formula. I posted to email lists and combed the web. The only product I found was Nature's One.
I was so frustrated to see it was only for toddlers. It seemed like another dead end. But I just kept looking it over. It seemed perfect except for that little thing about not being a single source of nutrition. I wrote them a desperate email asking if that was true or if it was some problem with the FDA. I was so delighted the next day when I discovered a reply in my box. It turns out that they are going through the process of FDA approval as an infant formula. They were extremely helpful. At no time did they tell me it was ok to use them. They told me they would send me info and samples and to take the information to my pediatrician. I was jumping for joy! I knew this was the right product. My pediatrician approved after going over the information and charts that were sent.
My son loves his formula. More than that, he thrives on the stuff. You would never know he was a preemie to look at him. He never got the least bit colicky from the formula switch over. Within two days he was sleeping through the night
Now, you might think that some fancy shmancy organic formula would cost an arm and a leg. Not this one. It's no more expensive than the other brands. And the ingredients are just so much better. Their formula uses organic cow's milk, organic brown rice syrup, organic soybean oil, organic high oleic sunflower oil and organic coconut oil. The nutrient content is comparable to and often better then the leading brands. Oh, and before I forget.....they have this other nifty little thing. For every 24 cans of formula you buy, they will give you two for free! Now you can't beat that with a stick!
Some people are a bit leery about them not having FDA approval yet. I can understand this. The letters I received from the company stated that they are going through testing for that approval. The process is lengthy. If you have an infant and would like an alternative to the homones and pesticides in the other brands, I would suggest contacting Nature's One and requesting their information packet so that you and your pediatrician can make an informed decision. I am so glad that I took the time to do the research to make this decision for my son's health.
