What Is The Best Organic Baby Formula?
Jan 31st, 2010 by Christine
There is no baby formula in this world that could ever replace the nutrition, and benefits that mother’s breast milk contains. Think about it, when God created a woman he created her with all of the necessary tools for her to feed her babies while they are young. The breast of the mother not only nourishes their child, but also comforts the child and enhances the bonding between the child and the mother.
Breast milk is loaded with all of the proper nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that the baby needs for their proper growth during the first year of their life. If the mother is also eating healthy and taking in the proper nutrition that she needs to have, she will ensure that her child will receive the best nutrition that he or she can get from the mother’s breast milk. But if you are a mother who for medical reasons cannot breast feed or does not have the proper time to do so then there is an alternative to ensure your baby gets good nutrition. The alternative is baby formula, but not just any kind of formula, organic baby formula.
There are many reasons why choosing an organic baby formula is better than choosing a conventional baby formula. One main reason is because organic baby formula is made with cow’s milk that contains no growth hormones or antibiotics. It also contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. If the formula is made of organic soybeans it should not contain any dangerous pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Last but not least, companies such as Earth’s Best who produce organic baby formulas, try to ensure that it contains the necessary special nutrients that are found in breast milk such as DHA and ARA which are essential for a baby’s proper mental and visual development.
One thing to be aware of as the video below will describe is when choosing any kind of baby formula whether it is organic or not, always choose powdered formula because most liquid formulas come in cans which leach a toxic chemical called bisphemol A or BPA from the lining of the cans. Also make sure that you use a baby bottle that is not made of polycarbonate plastic. This plastic also releases bisphemol A especially when heated. You want to make sure you use bottles made of glass or non polycarbonate plastic such as PES plastic.
Breastfeeding has been, is, and will always be the best choice to feed your baby and we know that you as a mother wants the best for your baby. Breastfeeding is one more way to ensure that your baby is a true organic baby.
