***Earth's Best IS The Best***
My Twins were born at 34wks and I couldn't keep up with their growing need for Breast-milk. So I began supplementing with formula. We tried five different brands before finally purchasing Earth's Best. With each of the other formulas my Babies were gassy and fussy. Sleeping after a feed was impossible for them and gas drops did nothing to ease their discomfort. We tried several brands of 'gentle formula' including Gerber and Enfamil. Nothing helped. But within three feeds of Earth's Best I noticed a huge difference in my Babies. Within a week they were sleeping contentedly following each feed! I couldn't believe it! Their little tummies adjusted so well because it was as gentle as Mommie's milk for them. They are now 7mo's old and I still use Earth's Best. They are on solids so our formula need is less, but I wouldn't switch to any other brand. I've included a pro/con list below and if I could give this product ten stars I would! I can't recommend it enough!. Earth's Best is simply THE BEST!!!
Pro's:
*Organic and Gentle. No harmful fillers, GMO's or unnatural additives*
*Includes DHA and ARA. Both very important in Babies early development*
*Sensitive enough for Babies with re-flux and helps reduce gas/colic*
*Is a soft powder that easily dissolves. Very like Breastmilk in texture*
Semi-Con's:
*Price. Expensive compared to other formula's but is really worth it so this isn't really even a con for me*
*Hard to find in the Large Can. I have to special-order it as the smaller can is all the stores carry*
*Doesn't have an easy to use seal. Can be messy when opening and the can doesn't empty well*
*It's better to pre-make and refrigerate than make fresh each time. Scoop isn't the best design*
On the whole my sem-con's are nothing compared to how truly happy I have been with this purchase! So I'd say to anyone considering this product; 'It's worth the money, your Baby will do wonderful on it. So don't worry about the little things, a happy Baby is a Happy Mommy/Daddy. ' :)
Signed,
A Very Happy Mommy!
If you do your research, this is a pretty good brand of organic formula, not the best one, byrcwe compromises bc this one you can pivknupbat target and usually Walgreens or whole foods in a hurry! (The others we’d have to order online which isn’t helpful in an emergency like travel or when you run out and need it same day). I really wish they’d stop putting folic acid garbage in the organic baby products and sub the higher quality folate... my baby (and 1/3 of the general population actually) has the MTHFR defect which makes it harder to absorb folate, and the artificial cheap form, folic acid, just makes it worse by blocking receptors... but so far there is NO brand that uses folate instead.
Oh, and this IS very foamy when mixed but oh well
So I taste test my sons formula because I'm pretty paranoid. Gentle Ease tastes like metal. I asked my husband without saying anything and he said "this is very metallic" so we switched to Earth Best. Huge difference! It actually tastes like milk. (We drink fat free organic milk). Amazing. Bravo! Earth Best.
We had an issue with shipping but I bought some from the local market while I wait on my sub&Save.
I use this formula and mix it with baby’s only formula about 1/2-1/2. They are both my favorite so I use both. I did a lot of research cause really I would have breastfed for 2 years but I dried up at 6 months cause I got pregnant again. Kinda heartbreaking but I did a lot of research and found this brand to be one of the only ones that use water to extract the DHA instead of hexane. I literally called up all the companies of many baby formulas and asked many questions. I’m addition it’s organic, grassfed, non GMO. They used to use corn syrup solids but they no longer do so if you see ingredients list that like in Walmart it’s just an outdated website description and when you order it you will see the ingredients on the container will NOT have corn syrup solids. This brand diaper is also the very best organic diaper in my opinion. Baby’s only formula extracts DHA from egg yolk and my baby loves her eggs so I like that too, that’s why I mix them.
I switched my daughters Enfamil formula at about 2 months and couldn't be happier with Earth's Best Organic. I'm still using their stuff at 11 months!! I recommend this to any mommy wanting the best for their child. If you cannot breastfeed of course. That's obviously ideal!
Plus it's not as expensive as those other brands you get way more! Score!!

Our twins are being breastfed - this is supplemental - and its the best stuff we have given them. We gave them the British stuff and the German stuff - and similac organic - this is the one that seems to agree with their stomach the best. Highly recommend this.
If you are considering switching, I encourage you to go for it! I had twin boys that were born prematurely, and we tried quite a few of the mainstream formulas. Similac and Enfamil made them incredibly sick, even the so-called "sensitive" or "gentle" versions, they were constantly spitting up and having constipation and then diarrhea that smelled disgusting and was dark green. As soon as we switched to Earth's Best, I noticed a difference in the amount of spit up and their stools became more regular and more of a yellowish color. (Still had some constipation, but definitely improved.) They were more comfortable after feedings and they ate better on this formula. They have gained weight at double the average rate at which most preemies gain. If you are considering switching and your children can tolerate cow's milk, I highly recommend this formula! It was a big help to me when I was suddenly unable to breastfeed after an early birth and long hospital stay for them in the NICU. (We are switching for a little bit to try out goat milk formula, as I think they might have some sensitivity to cow's milk. Fyi, I haven't tried the Earth's Best sensitive formula, just the regular dairy in the red can.) Earth's Best is easy to find in stores in case you need it in a pinch (also a bonus!), but I found it most affordable when I would buy the 35 oz can on Amazon. In my area, it is sold at Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Walgreens. Also, the price per ounce is pretty close to what we paid for Similac, which is awesome for a good, organic, non-gmo baby formula. From what I understand, they have also improved ingredients through the years, which tells me this company is truly concerned about providing clean, healthy food for our babies! (I read some older reviews where people were voicing concern about some ingredients, then checked the label and saw that they were no longer included.)
From an early age my baby boy was having really bad issues with constipation, especially after he breastfed less and less and ate more formula. Like large, hard stools that bled when coming out and he would scream and cry. His doctor recommended less food, more water, more foods that help soften stools but nothing worked. Finally I switched his formula to this one and it's been a game changer. We've had no issues with constipation or gas. The only downside is that you can really only get this on Amazon or Target so don't be afraid to stock up! One large can like this is equal to not quite 5 of the 8 oz bottles! We go through a lot of these but the boys gotta eat and it's totally worth the extra expense.
I did a lot of researching when choosing a new formula (we were on Similac and Enfamil, tried different varieties) and I selected this one because the formula is supposed to be very very close to breastfeeding. Maybe all formulas say that, maybe not, but for whatever reason I felt strongly that this would help and it did. Very happy to have found it. It's worth the effort of having to think ahead and order online.
Mixes easy and baby drinks it. Take it from a Dad, you can drive yourself crazy figuring out what formula to buy if yout wife isn't breast feeding and at the end of the day this is probably as good or better them most and if you buy each month by the 4 pack the price is close to $20 each which is tough to beat. My girl loves it!
Best value for this formula out there. This is the only formula my baby likes. It has a horrible fishy smell and taste but she loves it. At least you can be sure it definitely has omegas. She's had zero gas or digestion problems after using this formula. I definitely recommend this over anything from the bigger brands.
