What's the best baby formula?

[CCHertz]

Opinions are like ***holes, everybody's got one. Ask Rupert Murdoch how much control he has over public opinion (FOX). A great percentage in this country is in denial until it affects them. Personally I wouldn't give my child formula. You did hear about the loop hole O'Bama closed early in his term and that many of the carcinogens were found in Gerber baby formula - that's a fact. A bright man said about the tv - "it's not the message it's the medium". IMHO We must educate ourselves.

[Jenniet2002]

A longitudinal prospective study of 1246 healthy infants

in Arizona, USA, aimed to determine the relationship between

breastfeeding and recurrent wheeze. The results showed that nonatopic

children at the age of six years, who had not been breastfed,

were three times more likely to have recurrent wheezing.

feeding to recurrent wheezing at age 6 years. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 149:

[Jenniet2002]

USA school-aged children born between 1991 and 1993

and who weighed less than 1,500 g at birth were given a variety

of cognitive tests. The very low-birth weight infants who had

never been breastfed were found to have lower test scores in

intellectual function, verbal ability, visual-spatial and motor

skills than those who had been breastfed.

low-birth weight infants. Am J Epidemiol 158:1075-1082, 2003

DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY SOY FORMULA. The estrogen mimicking properties of soy products will disrupt your childs endocrine system and supress thyroid function. It is like giving your baby 5 birth control pills a day

For the best home made formula refer to "Weston A Price Foundation formula recipe" google it.

DO not use store bought formula, it is basically sugar and oil, and a bunch of synthetic vitamins that rob nutrients from the body and are pure poison.

@xnanamadisonx : I know breastfeeding is the best for the baby. but I am new mom and I tried to breastfeed my baby for 1st 10 days but I don't have enough milk so my baby wasn't getting enough milk and it was very hard for me cause I couldn't sleep cause I was a awake every 3omins to feed him. is not easy breastfeeding and I wonder how moms feed their baby just breast milk.

[MsGbergh]

@sahraaTube At least you gave it a try, and babies benefit from even a short time of breastfeeding. THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF INFANT FEEDING, IS TO FEED THE INFANT. I hope you won`t be put  off trying again if you have another child, even if you decide at start, just to give the colustrum. You did not fail. You managed for 10 days.

[luvsherhubby]

@xnanamadisonx yep it sure is and it can also prevent many illnesses...along with asthma and allergies

[AnnaBanana00105]

@xnanamadisonx Well yes some of thats true but not all the time.

You see some woman are not comfertable with it.

[prettyeyez0119]

Some of us just don't have the time sorry when your a single mom and are working going to school and being a full-time mom let me know I am doing everything for my daughter doesn't make me a bad mom for choosing formula

[AmericaEnslaved187]

@prettyeyez0119 studies have shown a 30% reduction in brain development for formula fed babies. Formula does not contain the cholesterol and fats the baby needs for brain size. Formula is pure poison to the body as it is completely synthetic, even the organic brands. your better off making your own formula from healthy ingredients look up "Weston A Price Foundation Formula recipe"

your not a bad mom society makes it hard on purpose so that your baby doesnt get the essential breast milk

[AlwaysReadTheLabel]

What about the non-sterile nature of powdered formula.

Using just filtered water is not enough to kill the bacteria, is it?

[ayaamaya]

people you need to stop making excuses! Breast feed your babies! grow up, boobs are for feeding our young not for sexual pleasure! Cow milk is intended for baby cows, not human infants. I cant believe people in this country are mature enough to get pregnant but not mature enough to breast feed. People have millions of excuses for why they dont, but at the end of the day its simply an EXCUSE i bet if there was no WIC (free formula) lots more would have no choice but to BF~

[alexisasay]

@ayaamaya

your right breast feeding is the better way to go but you have to consider some of the women who dont breast feed have a good medical reason for not breast feeding some dont breast feed because of the medicine that they take and some dont breast feed because they have aids or hiv and they dont want to pass it on to their child there are many reasons why some women choose not to breast feed.

[sparks199]

"Grow up" is the perfect advice, for you. Do what you feel is right when it comes to feeding your children, and understand that others will do the same. Not all mothers can breastfeed(babies dont latch on, mother is ill)should those babies go hungry? Some women have to work, milk stops coming in from lack of suction....then what?? Before ranting, stop and consider a few things

[m27ny]

@ayaamaya I have epilepsy and I take strong medication which can harm my son, how the hell am I suppose to breast feed??? If you don't know what you are talking about do not talk!

[liberia84]

i agree with alexisasay. you dont have to be so hostile about the situation thinking people are always trying to take the easy way out. every situation is different.

[Cloe3435]

@ayaamaya

Breast is best (there's no question about that), but I don't see how it is any of your business how people choose to feed their children. Don't be a busy-body.

Women who are on heavy medications can't breastfed .Would you rather these moms take the risk of killing their babies by giving them drug-laced breastmilk  than to give them baby formula?

You can't paint everyone with the same brush, all situations are different.

[AmericaEnslaved187]

@Cloe3435 I consider it my obligation to warn people to do their own research. You will see that Formula is just one small part of a bigger picture. Eugenicists, in positions of supreme wealth and power, Openly seek to depopulate. In hundreds of publications they write about using Poisons in the food, water and vaccines in order to achieve this. Convincing an entire generation of mothers to rob their children of what they need for proper brain development, is just one example. formula=poison

[CCHertz]

@AmericaEnslaved187 Amen! 

[sahraaTube]

@ayaamaya tell me away to increase my milk supply, or it depends on how much you eat. or persons? I pumped to see how much milk I have and it wasn't even 1oz so how can feed my baby then? I want but no milk, so you can't plame al the mothers

[AnnaBanana00105]

@ayaamaya whats your problem?

there is many reason a woman could not breast feed.

medications.

aids

my sister coulodnt cuz the babie didnt want it.

[AmericaEnslaved187]

@AnnaBanana00105 Some women are completely unhealthy because being able to breastfeed is 100% diet. If we as a society were able to get a good source of food that wasnt full of GMO sterilants, BPA, Mercury, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, Aspartame, and deadly preservatives, we would be alot healthier and our women would be fertile and healthy. This is by design, the global elite want to use food to sterilize you and depopulate. These poisons are added knowing they disrupt reproduction

[RottenBrains71]

@AnnaBanana00105 reallly? you think a baby who has has an instinct to suck a nd look for a nipple right after birth is gonna not want breast. and your gonna tell me that after so many years hundreds of years and thousands of years of human evolution a baby is gonna prefer fake milk? your fucking ridiculous. no the baby did want breast milk it was your sister who didnt want to breast feed. fuck who ever says " my baby didnt like it or wouldnt take it" when its 100% natural!!!!!!

[bher1966]

What about Melamine? No mention about this chemical that was found in US made formulas.

[Alexzavior]

Milk only doesn't come in if you don't let it come in (by letting your baby feed off your breast before the milk comes in, to let your breast know that it is time to make milk) I give my 2 week old son 1, 3 oz bottle of formula before bed (only if needed) because he has hit his growth spurt and my breasts have not realized to make more yet, and I would much rather prefer my child be full and sleep well, rather than cry because he is hungry and suckling is doing nothing but making him upset.

[charityjunebug]

70% receive formula in the first 3 months? Why do moms wean so early? I really don't get it. I nursed my son for 20 months and I wish I had gone longer. I don't get also why 30% of moms never ATTEMPT breastfeeding. I work in a WIC office, and pretty much every mom formula feeds.

The cases of moms "not making enough milk" is extremely rare. Then you get moms saying their milk never came in. I hear that all the time. Also very rare. I believe some cases are legit but most aren't.

[MsGbergh]

@charityjunebug From what I see of American tv shows, it`s the norm for newborns to be seperated from mothers in hospital. This is counter-productive. Even as a child, when I was told that newborns did not sleep in same room as mum, in hospital, and were given sugar-water on first day: it struck me as un-natural. -

[Kelvino420]

Oh keep feeding your formula to your poor innocent baby so he/she can be dumbed down with a 10-15%smaller brain size, and you welfare moochers think you have it so great. when the government poisons your baby with tTOXIC Formula and fluoride dont say you were not warned. u WILL REPORT to the concentration camps for your handouts, Mark my words WELFARE Moochers Your day will COME.

[boysie30]

Every time I take my kids to the Dr he says you need to get them on a vitamin with flouride and writes me a RX. I just smile and say ok thanks doc. Yeah right. Flouride!

[AnnaBanana00105]

@Kelvino420 I wasnt breastfed and im a teacher.

[AmericaEnslaved187]

@AnnaBanana00105 30% reduction in brain size studies show. Your only a fraction of what you would have been had your mother not bought into easy living and been under attack from chemical weapons in the food and water sterilizing ya.

[The69Goose]

Con't from previous post.

By this stage it was too late, as we had already found out what we needed to know ourselves. What gets me is that they tell you that there is higher risk of certain conditions (SIDS, excema, allergies etc) from using formula, but they don't tell you by how much. is it 1%, 50%, 90%? noone has been able to tell us that. Whenever we asked about formula from health pro's, answers were given in hushed tones and you would think we were trying to buy crack or something

[The69Goose]

I think people are missing the point here. There is a world wide push towards breastfeeding at the moment, and yes, it is most likely best for baby, BUT, there are those who are unable to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. We were in this situation. We had more than enough info given to us (unrequested) by doctor, midwife, Plunket (monitors looks after childs wellbeing till 5 yrs old) etc etc. It was not until out child was 4-5 weeks old that we were given a single page leaflet on formula

[sarahsclips]

We have to do more to encourage women to breastfeed. It is not only perfect for optimum health of our children ..but also women. It reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

It is ALSO environmentally friendly. No methane producing cows needed...no damage to the earth from production, packaging or distribution!! AND no disposal of waste products..no accessories needed.

Do all you can to promote, encourage and support women to feed their OWN young...the organic milk they deserve!

[boysie30]

No formula is the best formula unless you are physiclly unable or adopted feed your babies with your breast like we were meant to do. Dont take the lazy way out. Breastfeeding is very time consuming but its what babies deserve.

[silvafedor]

NaturesOne is the only formula that tested negative for Melamine.

It's BPA Free

Mercury/Corn syrup free

Life's DHA free.

they also have a Lactose free version if your baby gets gassy.

all the other brands carry dl alpha tocopheral which is the cheap and unabsorbed version of Vitamin E. You want D alpha tocopheral.

also all the other brands carry preservatives which will give your baby allergies.

research ingredients before you buy.

also research vaccines, they are horrible and unnecessary.

[Saphire019]

This is definetly a better option than (pukes guts out) breastfeeding(there isn't anything "natural" about that)

[mommy4233]

Apparently you aren't a mother and don't know what natural means. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing~ it is a mothers way of feeding her child and has been around since the beginning of time. All mammals do this so tell me how this is not natural.

[Saphire019]

There's nothing Natural about it. I don't care what you say, so please don't send me useless private messages or anything like that, please. You can say whatever S*** you want to, but you'll never be right

[boysie30]

I dont get why your message has so many thumbs down people can be so stupid so they really not know that breast is best?

[moogyboobles]

Nothing natural about feeding babies milk from another animal that increases it's risk of SIDS, cancer, diabetes, obesity...etc What the hell do you think tits are for?

[Saphire019]

They're not for sexual reasons, but they're not for feeding either. To Me, they're merely useless little blobs of skin that hang on my chest.

[boysie30]

Your sick. There is nothing gross about breastfeeding. Its what babies are supposed to eat. Not some man made formula which was invented to make some people rich. There is no substitute for breast milk. If you are lazy and prefer to just stick an artificial bottle in your babies face with some man made formula which you never know whats in there then thats sad

[Saphire019]

You can say whatever you want to me, but I'm not sick. and everything about breastfeeding is disgusting. Babies were never meant to "eat" this stuff. There is always a substitute for the posiounous breastmilk. I'm not lazy. I'm not sad at all. In fact, it's ignorant people like you that I feel sorry for.

[boysie30]

Obviously you have some pretty deep mental/emotional issues to feel that breastfeeding is sick and "poisonous" why do you think our bodies make milk just for shits and giggles? Why do you think forrmula companies always claim "closest to breast milk" formula tries to imulate breat milk not breastmilk imulating formula. If b-milk is poisonous I wonder how all of us humans survived all of those millions of years without the formula companies? You are so

[Saphire019]

I have no mental or emotional issues unlike people like you. I'm not stupid at all actually. I don't pretend at all. I have no mental issues.

[boysie30]

Well I cant call you ignorant b/c you've been given the facts and the correct info so your not ignorant. That would make you stupid. At lease on this issue. Maybe a genius in other areas but stupid on the issue of b/f. I really hope you never become a mom if you believe the best thing that you can give to your infant is "poisonous I hate to think what other parenting mistakes you would make.

[boysie30]

This is my last message as I feel "stupid" even having this argument with someone who says b/ milk is poison.

[Saphire019]

I might become one someday, whether some people disagree with it, or not. Using form. is not the worst mistake a person could make. Just recently on the news there was this girl who was babysitting a one-year-old put him in a sleeping bag, and swung him around in it, causing the baby head damage which killed him. Anybody else on the planet with a brain would know better than to try something like this

[boysie30]

I didnt mean not breastfeeding was the parenting mistake I meant believing that it is poison is the mistake. Do yourself a favor and just read the facts about b/feeding before you ever have a baby. formula does not have immunities, its linked to sids and all other sorts of problems. There are no risks with breastfeeding unless of coures you use drugs or drink. Its your choice

[boysie30]

As of Novermber 26, 2008, it has been revealed that up to 90% of US-made infant formula may be contaminated with trace amount of melamine. And this is what you would feed your tiny helpless newborn? Breastmilk is NEVER tainted

[Saphire019]

never say never. You just said yourself in an earlier post "there are no risks with breastfeeding unless of coures you use drugs or drink. "

[boysie30]

thats not the brastmilks fault that would be the mothers. Most people who nurse do not drink. You can do the same with formula if you add wine or drugs. Nature has no faults in breast milk if a mom drinks or does drugs thats her fault

[MsGbergh]

@Saphire019 also risk for formula fed babies of drug abusers. Impaired judgement likely to lead to incorrect mixing of formula, adulterating it, etc..These women should be forced to give up baby, and have hysterectomy

[CCHertz]

@Saphire019

I just read your post & I do not know what it is you're post is regarding but the fact that you use "people like you" IMHO completely discredits you. Oh yeah, what do "they" say.....the first sign is Denial :-)

We are SO very please to welcome you as an honorary member of the National Sarcasm Society

[Saphire019]

@CCHertz Invitation request has been denied. I however am in no such denial, and while you are entitled to your own opinion, IMHO, you're wrong.

[CCHertz]

@Saphire019 Denial - an UNCONSCIOUS defense mechanism used to reduce anxiety by denying thoughts, feelings, or facts that are consciously intolerable.

[Saphire019]

@CCHertz *yawns loudly* Yeah right. There's abosolutely no denial here. Why don't you go back to the rock you climbed out from underneath and go back and stay there. It's where you belong, IMHO.

[CCHertz]

@Saphire019 my apologies if my thoughts and ideas I was trying to share started to sound like attacks. I certainly don't want to join in on that & your reply was a bit harsh, but we are all allowed to live as we believe (seemingly). May we all be a bit kinder, more loving and more open-minded people - no matter what are differences are. Best of luck to you and yours Saphire019. Much love!

[Saphire019]

@CCHertz wtf? I thought this was over already.

[RottenBrains71]

@Saphire019 i know its been a year since this comment but Im gonna break it down to you. If it werent for your great grandmother breast feeding your grandma and so on.. you wouldnt be here. if you believe that breast feeding is not natural you might as well should commit suicide since your the product of a generation who was breast fed that made your existence possible. so you pretty much are living off of something you are against... how do you feel about that?

[Saphire019]

@RottenBrains71 Actually I would stilll be here, believe it or not. I feel that I'm not living off of something I am against. I was adopted at birth, so I was spared the pain of having to go through that. Everything you said is wrong in so many ways, that except for this one post, you're really not worth responding to at all.

[RottenBrains71]

@Saphire019 but you did respond? what do you have to say about that? be thankful you at least got adopted. and you know I am right. if formula kept you alive thats fine but your biological mother was breast fed which got her thru her infant years. if it werent for that nurturing of her mothers breast milk you wouldnt have existed (sorry for being redundant but you need to understand it.) give thanks to your adoptive parents whom i assume where breastfed or you would have been a orphan for life.

[Saphire019]

@RottenBrains71 What I know is that you're wrong, and that's all there is to it. i don't care if you respond to this or not. I don't even care if you go around taking shit about me to everyone you know.

[boysie30]

incredibly stupid if you do indeed believe that breastfeeding is bad for babies. I have a feeling you just like to pretend that b/c of other mental issues maybe you have with your own birth mother??

[MsGbergh]

@Saphire019 Why do we produce this stuff, and why do companies try to imitate it? Shame your ancestors did not agree with  you

[muzikman74]

Ok...this really didn't answer the question. I would like to know what's the best baby formula out there. I've used Simulac Advance,Simulac Soy, and Ifamil...all of them don't agree with our baby. She's gassy and fussy.

[boysie30]

Shes gassy and fussy because she should be drinking breastmilk. Perhaps she's adopted and your forced to ffed her formula otherwise your giving your baby a disadvantage

[4loveoffreedom]

What does "EWG" stand for? What country/city/provence, etc. are you licensed in? I completley agree with your assertions of BPA. Thank goodness that you stated "Don't use water with added floride". I agree whole heartedly.......funny in the US.....after years of making corps dispose of this toxic substance......now, by mandate, puts it in the drinking water. A last note: I think the "BEST" baby formula is the formula one makes themselves for their chlid.
