Both Goat and Cow Milk contain dairy protein and lactose. A baby with dairy protein or lactose sensitivities may experience unusual fussiness, excessive spit-up, skin rash / eczema, gassiness or frequent ear infections. If your baby exhibits any of these symptoms, discuss using Baby’s Only Organic Soy Formula with a health care professional.
Baby’s Only Organic Soy is made with organic ingredients. Organic is your assurance the ingredients are not genetically modified.
Other non-organic soy formulas use a harsh chemical process to eliminate complex soy sugars that are known to cause discomfort to a baby’s developing digestive system. Nature’s One has innovated a process that naturally achieves the same result while maintaining the nutritional balance and harmony of the soybean as nature intended.
The soybean alone does not provide complete nutrition. We carefully formulate additional organic essential fatty-acids and organic carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals that are needed for continued growth and development. The result is a complete, balanced, organic non-dairy formula for your baby.
Organically grown/processed in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
Additional Nutrition Facts – One serving also provides: Choline 20mg and Inositol 8 mg.

Review by S. Todd for Baby’s Only Organic Toddler Formula Powder 12.7 oz

My 8 month old son gets 50% breast milk, 50% formula. Of course breast is best, but we all know how that goes when returning to work…supply was not possible to be met for my son. The week I went back to work, be it stress, lack of time with baby latching on, etc…I couldn’t pump nearly enough..If you’re like me, and need to supplement, even if you don’t want to, consider this about Baby’s Only Organic formula:
1. No synthetic DHA added. Recent findings show that DHA added to infant formula (in all cases of organic formulas including Earth’s Best, except Baby’s Only) is extracted from fungus and algae, using hexane solvents, bleach etc – As a biochemist, this is disconcerting. Hexane is a human neurotoxin and narcotic agent. Organic ingredient? Not in the slightest. It will damage nerves, brain, heart and who knows what else. Believe it or not, the FDA doesn’t have a regulation on hexane extractions in food.. . The best source of DHA are natural sources, not synthetic. Good DHA sources are animal-based (eggs, fish, meat, etc) and of course are found in breast milk. The fact that no synthetic DHA is included was the #1 seller for me on this formula. Also, Baby’s Only manufacturer sells a separate supplement of DHA that you can add to the formula, which is egg-yolk based – all natural. Some might be concerned about egg allergies – Most egg allergies come from the proteins in the egg white, not the yolk, but in the very rare chance that the egg yolk could cause an allergy, it’s nice that they sell it separately and not mixed in the formula.
2. Only 60% lactose may be a good thing…in response to ahbnyc’s comment
“Earth’s Best uses Lactose as their primary sugar (carb source). In human breast milk, lactose is almost the exclusive source for carbs…exactly the same as Earth’s Best. Again on the Baby’s Only website they claim lactose to be inferior to their brown rice syrup. How can they do this?? They show no evidence to support their claim, especially when Lactose is what’s in breast milk!!”
According to the American Pregnancy Association, lactose accounts for approximately 40% of the total calories provided by breast milk. Why is it that when infants are started on lactose-based formula, so many have problems digesting it and then many assume they are lactose intolerant and are given soy or lactose-free formulas?? Isn’t this counter intuative if human milk is lactose based? True lactose intolerance in babies is extremely rare – Did anyone ever wonder if the commercial formulas contain WAY more lactose than a baby’s sensitive system can handle and way more than is found in breast milk? It is possible to have too much lactose in a baby’s diet and this may be why they have problems when switched to formula while the same baby may be fine with breast milk. Also, lactose is a simple sugar which easily spikes insulin levels, contributing to overly plump babies that have a higher risk of obesity later in life. Just look at the growth chart differences of formula-fed vs. breast-fed babies. Rice syrup takes longer to break-down as it’s more complex, and won’t spike insulin levels like lactose. Rice syrup may not be suitable for a newborn – true. But Nature’s One – Baby’s Only manufacturer clearly recommends breast is best for newborns…There may be no perfect formula for a newborn.
3. No cane sugar. Similac Organic is garbage because they add cane sugar as a source of carbs. Way to add to the child diabetic epidemic.
4. It’s way less expensive than Earth’s Best.
I recommend this formula – my son has had no problems with it and I feel good knowing he’s getting ALL organic ingredients.

I was sold on this formula for a few reasons. Some are true, some need further investigation.
I was only going to feed my newborn organic, so I looked at the choices:
Earth’s Best (made by Hain Celestial)
Baby’s Only
Similac Organic
I ruled out Sililac right away because the FIRST ingredient is CANE SUGAR. This is a very cheap way to introduce carbs into the formula. I firmly believe that Sugar is the culprit of many our ails as a society today…Including the out of control type 2 diabetes in children under 18. The last thing I wanted to do was to feed my child “fast food” formula. Organic or not.
I was intrigued by the Earth’s Best and the Babys Only. In reading the Baby’s Only website, I liked a couple of things that they stated…(which really were knocks against Earth’s Best). One was that the cows used for the dairy for Baby’s Only were small run family cows and that these farms commitment to organic farming and practices were sound. As opposed to Earth’s Best which sourced its milk from Horizon who is owned by the Huge food processor Dean Foods. Dean is one of the largest milk producers in the country. The Baby’s Organic people insinuated that cows from Dean are not treated well and may not be truely organic like their cows due to watered down USDA regulations. Maybe true, maybe not. They would like you to believe this because it supports their product. Truth be told, Horizon is the largest purchaser of small run , family farm milk in the country. It is estimated that half to 3/4 of their milk supply is obtained this way.
The other thing that really bothered me is that Baby’s Organic claims that their Carbohydrate source is superior. They use brown rice syrup which they claim breaks down slower because it is a more complex sugar, thus lowering the “spiking” of insulin levels. Now, whereas I believe that compared to Cane sugar or corn syrup, this is a no brainer, I would choose brown rice syrup….but here’s where I think that they are totally wrong. Earth’s Best uses Lactose as their primary sugar (carb source). In human breast milk, lactose is almost the exclusive source for carbs…exactly the same as Earth’s Best. Again on the Baby’s Only website they claim lactose to be inferior to their brown rice syrup. How can they do this?? They show no evidence to support their claim, especially when Lactose is what’s in breast milk!!
The reason I bring this point up is because I did not know all of this and I fed my baby Babys Only from weeks 2-6 of her life believing their website that brown rice is better. She had SOOOO much gas…burping, flatulation…she was so uncomfortable using this formula…we switched to Earth’s Best and all of the problems went away. I really think that the brown rice syrup used is much harder for the baby to digest and thus messes up their fragile systems. Lactose is the same ingredient found in human breast milk. I cannot understand how the Baby’s Only people can deny this. They are the only formula maker that I have found that stands by the claim that brown rice us better than lactose.
Furthermore, they call it a Toddler Formula and maybe for a good reason. I read in a few places that Whereas all of the nutrients are the same as infant formulas, they called it toddler because they wanted to be politically correct by stating that all babies under 12 months should breast feed. But, now with experience I do not think that it is as well tolerated as other infant formulas because of their ingredient choice.

I exclusively breastfed my first child for 2.5 years. When I had twins 8 months ago, I found it impossible to exclusively breastfeed them. Thankfully, I found this wonderful organic formula which they were supplemented on from day 1 (and they were a month early).
If you go to the website (www.natureone.com) you will see that the ingredients are identical to infant formulas – they simply call it a toddler formula for political reasons. See below.
My twins are thriving and healthy. More pediatricians should read up about this and recommend it to those moms unable or unwilling to breastfeed. At least your babies won’t be getting all the pesticides and growth hormones etc in commercial formula. It’s really a sad state of affairs when there is only one organic formula available. Mothers need to demand better products, healthier products for their infants.

extract from website: “…Infant Formula Act (IFA), passed in 1980. Baby’s Only Organic® meets the nutritional requirements of the IFA just like conventional infant formulas. Baby’s Only Organic® is labeled as a toddler formula due to the company’s philosophy to promote breast milk for infants the first year of life when possible (as mandated by the World Health Organization). If breast milk is not available, Baby’s Only Organic® can be used for an infant less than 12-months of age as directed by a healthcare professional. Baby’s Only Organic® has complete nutrition – nothing is missing, nor is it concentrated. For any age baby, mix the formula according to label instructions. ”

Please remember that DHA/ARA added to infant formulas (both non-organic and organic) are extracted using petroleum-derived hexane solvents. One of the reasons I choose organic is to avoid hexane solvents; hexane is a very efficient extraction procedure (check wikipedia or google), but not organic. Do a little research on what is in the DHA added to infant formulas before you buy. It will be educational.
Also, as organic consumers, we breast fed whenever possible. Formula is only used for supplementation. Breast milk provides ample amount of DHA & ARA and all the other essential fatty acids. So getting more from an organic formula is just a waste of money.

I tried this formula for one week – my baby boy is fussy and didn’t do so well on this one, it was between this and Earth’s Best – and I tried this first in hopes that the no dha/ara were his problem, they weren’t. This formula foams up a ton and it takes forever for the bubbles to go down- not good for sensitive baby belly and adding more bubbles. My baby spits up a lot and this formula stains – Earth’s best doesn’t. Also, this doesn’t come with scoops – so you have to measure out teaspoons, which is not good for impatient crying baby that wants to eat ten minutes ago. And the most important part – the calorie and fat content are a little low for my 2 month old. I’d say this formula would be excellent for a little older baby that doesn’t spit up much or have tummy issues (b/c of the bubbles.) Not my favorite – but I felt much better feeding him this than I did the non-organic main brands – or even the organic main brands b/c this doesn’t have high-fructose corn syrup. When will the big companies get it?
