Has anyone ever tried organic infant formula? Is there really any difference between the organic formula brands like Bellamy or Hippp and the standard brands, like Nestle Nan, Danone, Friso, etc?

Found these two links which you may find helpful: http://alphamom.com/parenting/baby/organic-vs-regular-formula/ This mother fed her elder son with standard brand (Similac) and the younger one organic formula. She did not find any difference in their preference for sweet stuff and both are within healthy weight range. The main benefit of choosing organic formula will probably be that there is no pesticides, growth hormones, or genetically modified ingredient (in the cow or soy milk used) used. The trade off (as mentioned in the article) would be the use of corn syrup. This other article is a review of a few different brands of organic formula she has tried for her baby: http://triflethoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/organic-formula-earth-best-vs-babys.html In all, I think the most important thing would be that your baby enjoys what he/she is drinking. You can perhaps try different brands and make your decision based on his/her reaction? Or you can also check with your PD for recommendations. Hope these helped!
