1.0 out of 5 stars Constipation + Sucrose = No, thanks!, September 29, 2008

You think you're doing something good for your kid when you invest a little more to get an organic formula. Sadly, that's not the case here. This is a horrifically constipating formula...lots of pain and straining, guaranteed. Having to take measures to prevent this (offering juices, water, etc) is just not a sensible approach.

Also, the manufacturers use sucrose instead of lactose to save money, and they use a LOT of it. With the same sweetness as country time lemonade, Similac Organic's sucrose-based formula may also set your child up for future diabetes. Check the NY Times article for more info on this.

Bottom line: painful constipation in the near term, possible diabetes and certainly a sweet tooth in the future...no, thanks!

This is a good product and very high-quality. The majority of people who post on Amazon (and the internet) are not medical providers and are not the least bit inclined in the area of sciences or infant nutrition. There's a large amount of misinformation out there and the misinformation is evident and propagated throughout the reviews for this formula. As for this product specifically (Similac Organic), it is the top echelon of quality with regard to consistency and nutritional value. We've had great success with this product and are very pleased overall as an adjunct to breastmilk. Abbott labs (product maker) is a very large research reagent laboratory for the medical sciences and they have very rigorous quality controls in-place, published research, and they also provide reagents to the scientific research community (exacting standards). That said, I would be less inclined to trust some of the other small makers of formula (ie. other organic products suggested as "better" in these reviews - especially the referenced small-name organic powders). All said and done, the components in ALL of the Similac products are the highest quality and monitored with advanced scientific protocols and are well-researched in published studies. I'd trust this brand - Similac, over the smaller, no-names. Plain and simple. Keep in mind it's what best suits your baby and with nascent/developing GI tracts, ALL babies will experience some degree of gas and discomfort regardless of the formula or nutritional source (even breastmilk). It's sad to see people in these reviews propagating misinformation as they are neither pediatricians/physicians. Do your own research and best to avoid those with ulterior motives, as well as the misinformative reviews and internet blogs that are overly slanted or biased.

Great product, our daughter loves this and has been gaining weight great. We try to get as many organic foods as possible for us and our daughter. This is one of the few options that are available in ready mix. We don't have much time in the morning or evening so this works great for us. First we were mixing breast milk and similac advanced and she was doing great. Then we wanted to go to organic and moved to this. When we were doing both breast milk and this we noticed she pooped far less, not a bad thing and never farther than 36 hours. Now she only drinks this formula and poops a few times a day and is growing great. We started her on this at about 1.5 months a few ounces a day (sometimes mixed with breast milk , and now she is 5 months old and eating about 32 ounces a day (a regular little chubbers).

On a side note if you ever tasted breast milk, this tastes as close to that as any formula we tried. Some formulas are so nasty smelling and tasting its a wonder any baby eats them...

Cheers!
