My wife and I thought we were doing our baby a favor by going organic. We switched from Similac to this formula and it's hard to say if the issues we had were because of this formula....after a 10 day half and half schedule we noticed less pooping and violent screaming after eating. Since this is our first two kids (twins) we can't say if it's the formula but something didn't seem right. Then a friend emailed about the controversy of the synthetic additives in this formula...do your own research, but we have since switched to Baby's Only (too early to tell if it's cured the issues) and we feel better we have steered clear of the fact we might be doing more harm than good. So frustrating! Here is some info to help in your research.
Seems are some issues with DHA/ ARA additives.

Over the past few years, infant formula manufacturers have raised their prices after adding Martek oils to their products. With the exception of some prescription formulas, available with approval from pediatricians, only one over-the-counter formula is available without synthetic DHA/ARA, Baby,s Only, an organic product manufactured by Nature,s One in Columbus, Ohio.
After today,s official announcement by the USDA, all other organic formula manufacturers will need to remove Martek,s oils from their products, Cornucopia,s Vallaeys stated.
In the meantime, The Cornucopia Institute also has filed petitions with the FDA requesting that their Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) designation for the Martek oils be revoked.
When Martek,s additives were originally granted GRAS status, it was with extreme reservations on the part of the FDA review panel because of adverse reactions to these oils said Valleys. When we reviewed FOIA documents, we were astonished to find that none of the infant formula manufacturers had complied with the FDA,s request to monitor adverse reactions and perform post-market surveillance of these materials.
The manufacturing process for Martek,s oils likely includes genetically engineered organisms and neurotoxic synthetic solvents, which are both explicitly banned in organic production. According documents submitted by Martek to the FDA, the process to make their oils includes growing algae and fungus in a medium that is made primarily of dextrose derived from corn, yeast extract or a hydrolyzed vegetable protein, which is usually derived from soybeans. Given that the vast majority of corn and soybean products in the food supply are produced through genetic engineering, the likelihood that Martek,s DHA and ARA oils are grown in a medium of genetically engineered organisms is almost certain. The use of genetic engineering is, of course, strictly prohibited in organics.

I couldn't breastfeed so I decided to go with the next best thing. My baby has been eating this since birth and we've had no problems w/digestion. They always arrive in perfect condition from Amazon for a bargin price! Can't beat that!!

This is a great food brand, and I also like their diapers, but this formula does NOT dissolve well, and my 2 month old baby does not like it!! He is mostly breastfed, but I supplement with Similac Organic with good results (no fussiness). I gave Earth's Best a try, and my 10 week old baby cried and cried, and was having obvious gas pain, until I switched back to Similac. I would much prefer to use this brand, so I tried again a few weeks later, and I got the same reaction from my baby. I would definitely us caution when choosing this formula, although I realize all babies are different. I will continue to use Earth's Best's other products, but not this formula.

I started my daughter on this formula when she was 7 months old as a supplement to breast milk because my supply was weakening. I wanted to give her organic if she couldn't have breast milk and we never tried anything else. She had only had breast milk up to that point and she didn't hesitate to drink it up! We haven't had any issues with her spitting it up as long as we make sure that she burps after she drinks more than 2 ounces. She never really spit up with breast milk( only on a few occasions), but I noticed that if she didn't burp with the formula, she would sometimes spit up after drinking it. She is 10 months old now and drinking this exclusively and she loves it. I would totally recommend this product to others and their customer service line is great if you have any questions or concerns.
