Tips on Switching Baby to Organic

Switching Baby to Organic-The New Organic Baby FormulasFor parents who have already made the switch to some organic foods, the choice of an organic baby formula over a regular formula might be a no-brainer. However, for those who have not yet joined the organic movement, the choice might be less clear. So what are the advantages of an organic baby formula?

Organic baby formulas are made with certified organic ingredients, and the makers conform to a national government (USDA) certification standard.

For most parents, the biggest benefit of organic formula is for the milk ingredients. Dairy-based baby formula contains both cow's milk and lactose (part of milk). Organic milk products are produced by cows that have not been fed with pesticide-sprayed feeds or injected with growth hormones to increase their milk production. Given the growing concern over the use of hormones and antibiotics in regular milk, many parents feel more comfortable choosing organic, especially in their baby's early years.

Organic Baby Formula Options
There are two major players in the organic baby formula market. Nature's One produces Baby's Own Organic formulas, both a dairy- and a soy-based version, and Horizon Organic is bringing a new organic infant formula to market soon.
