 DO NOT ues this formula, use Baby's Only March 2, 2010
D. L. (Seattle, WA United States)
Please do the research before choosing a formula. When my daughter was first born I used Earth's Best. Not being able to breastfeed I wanted to ensure she was getting the best formula possible. Imagine my surprise and horror after discovering the methods they use to extract this supposed healthy DHA and ARA. Hexane is highly toxic. It's a gimmick used to move product. Once I switched I knew I made the right choice, and my daughter did much better with this on top of it.
Toxic Hexane in Formula??? January 9, 2010

To be honest, I have never written a review, not matter how good or bad a product I received was. I never had the time and never bothered. Today, I write my very first review of a product that I have been feeding my precious son since birth. He is now 2 years 4 months. I could never breastfeed him exclusively due to bone density loss and I did massive amounts of research and tried out tons of different brands before deciding on this organic formula from Earth's Best and since then, even though he is now a toddler, I still use the Earth's Best infant formula and supplement with other child vitamins.
I was trying to re-order again in bulk from Amazon when I noticed for the first time the controversy over DHA/ARA extraction by the use of toxic hexane of which Hain Celestial which manufactures Earth's Best is guilty of. To understand my utter complete fury, you must know that I live in Singapore and I quite literally pay international shipping for every can of this formula (and wade through customs declarations, tests and tax levies) to bring this milk to my son. In Singapore, this can of milk is also available but in highly limited quantities and even more princely prices (yes, even after the tax, customs and shipping, it still costs less than US$68 which is the going price per can here). Calls to Hain Celestial customer service drove me further up the wall when first, a lady said the hexane was only in trace amounts and less than what the FDA approved. Then, reaching another lady an hour later, the story was different. She said that the hexane solvent method was the only method approved by the FDA to extract the DHA/ARA from non-toxic algae and soil fungus. A third occasion and Hain's customer service informed me that there should be no hexane detected in the product but on further probing admitted that she was not aware if the formula had undergone independent third party tests.
To me, this is crazy. The formula was marketed as a pure organic product and we pay premium prices (especially me!) for a premium product. To find that that they have taken such short cuts is completely unacceptable and the worst thing is that, it turns out that most of the other organic formula companies do this exact irresponsible thing and keep quiet about it. The only company that does not is Baby's Only - it uses a water based process to extract their DHA/ARA from eggs(compare this to Hain's claim that the hexane method is the only one approved by FDA and one wonders why Baby's Only hasn't been hauled up by the FDA yet). My son is going on that pronto once I can get a shipment to Singapore. Unfortunately, Baby's Only is not available in Singapore (not even at princely prices) and my son is going to have to continue ingesting his Earth's Best formula in the interim.
 This is the only formula we use!!! December 27, 2009

When we started shopping for formulas for our DD to supplement, we reviewed and researched all possible options out there. After a considerable review and research we decided that this is the best one we could find in the market for now.
There are several reasons why we picked this over the others..
- This is organic (so a lot friendly to the baby as well as the environment).
- Pesticide / Chemicals / Hormone Free
- This was very very close to breast milk and our DD did have any problems switching back and forth between breast milk and the formula.
- The bowl movements were regulated and resembled very close how it would look if she were only breast fed.
- Less Gas / Less Iritations
- AMAZON's amazing price offer (on Subscription).
The best. December 12, 2009

This is the only formula my boy would tolerate. I love the fact that it is Organic. Other formulas would give him a lot of gas and therefore sleepless nights for me. This is a savior for sensitive tummies.
Love this formula! November 29, 2009

Feeding my baby formula wasn't my first choice, but breastfeeding ended up not working out for me (wasn't able to produce enough so I really didn't have much choice). So I was glad to find an organic formula that was affordable! And using Amazon.com's Subscribe and Save program makes it even more affordable. I get diapers and wipes for my son through that too and it does save me a lot of money. Anyhow, he loves the formula (the regular milk based one) and is thriving! I wish I could make his formula as I do his pureed baby food, but I guess this is the next best thing. And it makes me feel better knowing it's organic and probably as close to nature as possible formula wise.
