Earths Best, Formula Infant DHA ARA Organic, 23.2 Ounce

I’ve used Earth’s Best Organic Infant Formula for all four of my kids, I’m really happy with it. A couple of babies had a hard time with some of the other formulas we tried, but this one has been gentle on his stomach with no issues like gas or constipation. Once we found something that worked we stuck to it! I love that it’s made with organic, non-GMO ingredients and doesn’t contain corn syrup or unnecessary additives. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’m feeding my baby something clean and close to breast milk in nutrition. The only downside is that it doesn’t always mix smoothly—I’ve had to shake the bottle a bit longer or stir to get rid of clumps. Also, it’s a little on the pricey side, but that’s expected with organic products. Still, totally worth it for the quality. Definitely recommend for parents looking for a healthier formula option.

We decided to try this formula for our EFF baby after the recent Kendamil shortage — our baby was born August 22, started Kendamil a couple weeks after he was born and loved it, but then Kendamil hit a massive shortage in early October, forcing us to look for another alternative. We didn’t want to go back to Similac, which we had used after leaving the hospital for the first couple weeks, but brands like Bobbies were just too expensive as a long term solution, and other formulas similar to Kendamil weren’t impressing me or seemed problematic even. My granola mom friend told me she used this formula with her toddler; while it may not be a direct comparison to Kendamil ingredients, it still seems to be of the same quality and is made with whole ingredients (and also happen to be organic; I was not buying the organic Kendamil prior to the shortage, just the regular one). Best of all, of course, is that my baby had no trouble transitioning to this formula; we didn’t mix the two or anything, just gave him 100% Earth’s Best. He’s been going strong on it for over a month now, and we’re debating just keeping him on this instead of Kendamil, whenever it gets restocked — even though it may be a little more money than Kendamil, it’s still affordable enough, and the stress of having to worry about shortages and overseas mishaps is maybe not worth it. So nice to always have this on Amazon (delivered same day for us!) and to be able to find it in multiple stores (not just Target like Kendamil) in case it wasn’t available on Amazon. It feels like a hidden gem of a formula that is not on most people’s radar, so I don’t feel like there will be a shortage based on hype, unlike Kendamil.

Love this formula! My baby reacted well and have had no problems.

If you are considering switching, I encourage you to go for it! I had twin boys that were born prematurely, and we tried quite a few of the mainstream formulas. Similac and Enfamil made them incredibly sick, even the so-called "sensitive" or "gentle" versions, they were constantly spitting up and having constipation and then diarrhea that smelled disgusting and was dark green. As soon as we switched to Earth's Best, I noticed a difference in the amount of spit up and their stools became more regular and more of a yellowish color. (Still had some constipation, but definitely improved.) They were more comfortable after feedings and they ate better on this formula. They have gained weight at double the average rate at which most preemies gain. If you are considering switching and your children can tolerate cow's milk, I highly recommend this formula! It was a big help to me when I was suddenly unable to breastfeed after an early birth and long hospital stay for them in the NICU. (We are switching for a little bit to try out goat milk formula, as I think they might have some sensitivity to cow's milk. Fyi, I haven't tried the Earth's Best sensitive formula, just the regular dairy in the red can.) Earth's Best is easy to find in stores in case you need it in a pinch (also a bonus!), but I found it most affordable when I would buy the 35 oz can on Amazon. In my area, it is sold at Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Walgreens. Also, the price per ounce is pretty close to what we paid for Similac, which is awesome for a good, organic, non-gmo baby formula. From what I understand, they have also improved ingredients through the years, which tells me this company is truly concerned about providing clean, healthy food for our babies! (I read some older reviews where people were voicing concern about some ingredients, then checked the label and saw that they were no longer included.)

Great formula for infants. One warning on the Toddler version is that version is much harder to clean from the bottles.

Used for both babies, absolutely zero issues. Started right when they were born in the hospital. Great in the brezza. It’s worth it. You won’t find it cheaper in stores. Just do subscribe and save.

From all the other options loaded with harsh ingredients for our babies, I would say this one is the best. It smells great and I would recommend it. I tried many from Enfamil, Similac and Gerber but my son had stomach issues the first 2 months and was placed on medications for reflux. No mom wants to give meds to a newborn so I kept researching until I finally decided to turn to my roots and ordered an European manufactured formula. Within 2 days the issues were gone and he was never given meds again. The issue was the shipping waiting time and cost, so when I ran out of formula I was forced to try the left over boxes I had from previous big orders I made. He refused all of them and was starving. I decided to give this one a try, and it smelled very pleasantly similar to the European formula and he took it immediately. My recommendation for any new mom is don't take the doctor's diagnose of reflux and cow's milk allergy immediately. Do your research before you put you baby on drugs at such a young age and destroy his/her stomach. My son has not had any issues after the second month and has no allergies or digestive problems. If I didn't turn to the European formula, I would have used this one the entire time, because it was the closest one and had no side effects for my baby.
