Baby's Only Organic Complete Nutrition Infant Formula Powder - 21oz

A: Hi Sarah! Absolutely, Baby's Only is dedicated to purity in formulas, and it’s why the company has chosen to test heavy metals in its formulas. Each production run of formula is tested for heavy metals including arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and lead to ensure that the formulas meet the company’s high-quality standards. Others, like the Clean Label Project, recognize the commitment of Nature’s One when it comes to purity. In fact, Baby's Only / Nature's One was the first formula company to earn the Clean Label Project’s Purity Award for its organic baby formula! The label now reflects the Clean Label Project.

A: Hi Julared, Baby’s Only® Organic Premium Infant Formula does not contain added DHA and ARA in the formula. However, it does contain appropriate amounts of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, and linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Linoleic and linolenic acid are called dietary essential fatty acids, meaning that it is essential for humans to consume these fats from foods. These dietary essential fatty acids are also known as precursor fats since the body can convert them into the longer chain unsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). At the present time, the American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP, does not specify the necessity of providing DHA and ARA to formula or to infants. Specifically, they reference DHA and ARA (also called long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids or LC-PUFAs) in the following statements: “The American Academy of Pediatrics has no official position on supplementation of term or preterm infant formulas with LC-PUFAs.”(1) and “Finally, considering the marked variability among infants of apparent conversion of ALA to DHA and LA to ARA, it is conceivable that some infants will benefit from supplementation, whereas others will not. Such a scenario certainly would explain the marked variability in outcomes documented by virtually every study. It is also likely that any beneficial effects of LC-PUFA supplementation will be subtle and possibly not detectable with all methodologies.”(1) Because DHA and ARA play a role in brain and eye development and also because there is no evidence that supplementation with these non-essential fatty acids in the amounts found in formulas is harmful to infants and young children, some infant and toddler formulas, including some Baby's Only formulas, are now fortified with DHA and ARA. However, because the American Academy of Pediatrics does not specify the necessity of providing DHA and ARA to infants and because evidence on its benefits is varied, Nature’s One chose not to add them to Baby’s Only Organic Premium Infant Formula.

A: Hi Ana, The recipe for Baby's Only® Organic Premium Infant Formula includes simple natural and organic ingredients without prebiotics. The prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics has this to say about prebiotics: “the addition of oligosaccharides as prebiotics to infant formula is not unreasonable, but lacks evidence showing clinical effectiveness. It is not known whether their use is cost-effective.”(1) Ana, I hope this information is helpful. If I can be of any further assistance, please send an email to me at dietitian@naturesone.com. -- Tori, Baby's Only® Dietitian. Reference: (1) Armstrong C.

A: Hi Jj! Baby’s Only® Organic Premium Infant Formula is not demonstrated to lead to more gas. Nature’s One conducted a medically supervised, randomized study of 215 infants fed a standard commercial formula or Baby’s Only® Organic Premium Infant Formula. In the study, there was no significant difference in the frequency of gas reported by parents among babies fed the standard infant formula or Baby’s Only® infant formula. If your baby is experiencing gas, it is encouraged to talk to your child’s healthcare provider to determine your next steps. Please also feel welcome to reach out to me at dietitian@naturesone.com for more information. Thank you! -- Tori, MS, RDN, LD
