There are lots of things you can do to raise your baby in a more natural, “green” way, and organic infant formula is a practical and accessible option. If you’re on the fence about whether to start your baby on organic foods and formula, here are some things to consider.
1. Just like other organic products, organic infant formulas are regulated by the USDA and produced according to certain strict standards.
2. All the ingredients must be organic! And that means that the milk used must come from cows that were organically fed and raised without hormones or antibiotics.
3. Organic formulas provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional building blocks your baby needs.
4. If any synthetic ingredients and preservatives are used, they must be approved by the National Organic Standards Board.
5. Similac® has been helping moms nourish babies for over 90 years and is a trusted and pediatrician-recommended brand that offers organic infant formula.
If you choose to go organic with your baby, Similac® Organic has all the essential nutrients, plus OptiGRO™ to support brain and eye development.
