Both babies have been fed this and are doing great. Btw to all the Corn Syrup reviewers—-
“Corn syrup is generally only the number one ingredient in sensitive formulas. They use it because they have to have a sugar (lactose is the sugar in breastmilk and regular formulas), and babies who are sensitive to milk proteins can't have lactose. The other alternatives are much more expensive, so corn syrup is generally the choice. Corn syrup is NOT the same thing as high fructose corn syrup. Babies use all of their calories for growth and development, anyway, so it's not like adults where extra sugars turn into fat.”
I'm a chemist and, interestingly, I've worked with the removal of hexane from powdered formula. Hexane evaporates much quicker than water (almost twice as quick) and when we put formula under air pressure via a vacuum seal, the water and hexane evaporate. If your baby formula is completely lacking liquid (which it is) when you open it, there is basically no chance of there being any hexane in it. If there is no water, no chance of even trace amounts of hexane being left. If quality control is bad and some how the formula is contaminated with hexane, you may get very trace amounts of it that are so insignificant that it basically has no affect on the body. Something like less than 15 parts out of a billion. My wife's milk production has decreased so we will be supplementing with this formula. Don't let hexane scare you. There are much more toxic aspects of your baby's environment than formula which contains DHA extracted with hexane.
I LOVVEEE this formula! Too much I think. Both of my babies have loved this stuff and had no tummy issues after switching. I tried every single type out there for baby number two before switching to this more expensive one, and she seems to have no tummy issues now that we made this final switch. No other formula holds a candle when it comes to colic, reflux, gas, or babies in pain crying. This formula is like magic. It just blows that it costs so much. But it's nice to get it in a four pack, then on subscribe and save with other items it makes it $85 for 4. Can't beat $21 a can with all the discounts applied! I wish I had amazon prime with my first baby, I was paying $29-$31 per can at babies r us. Amazon, I hope you guys cluster up the larger sized cans for more discounts, this momma sure would buy it!
I really like this formula for my baby. Breast feeding didn't work out for us sadly but this was a great option. In the hospital they gave us similac alumentim (sp) which gave my baby horrible gas pains and constipation, we switched to similac sensitive and it was still horrible! Smells foul too. We knew we had this formula waiting for us at home and it's working out wonderfully. Baby is fed and happy! The only downside is that it gets extremely frothy when mixing.
Just switched from Honest Company for this Earths Best since it is slightly cheaper. Our 5 month old likes this as he did the Honest Company. The one good thing about this one over the other is that it has DHA while Honest Co. doesn't. It is best to subscribe to several of these a month to save a little more money. Our son empties 3-4 cans month.

I will never use another formula again besides this one. My first son was on this and never had a problem with gassiness. After the birth of my second son, I got so many free samples of the Similac Pro-Advance so I started him off on that one. He always moaned after eating, spit up through his nose and was clearly gassy. Then I tried the Similac Pro-Advance Sensitive. Just as bad. I took him off of that after two weeks and switched him to Earth’s Best. I should have just gave him that from the beginning. He is never gassy to the point where he is uncomfortable, nor does he spit up through his nose anymore. HIGHLY recommend for those that choose to bottle fed, can’t breastfeed or are supplementing.
This is our go-to formula. When we switched from breast milk to formula at 5 months, I had a lot of concerns about how our daughter would do. Would she have bad gas? Would her diapers start smelling terrible? Would she like it? She switched without any problems. She didn't refuse this (though to be fair, she seems to like everything), didn't have any gas problems, and her poops stay pretty much exactly the same as breast milk. (Some other formulas did make her poops disgusting and gag-worthy, so there definitely was a difference these.) Happy to have this option for our daughter!
I have been purchasing this product for about 7 months for my great nephew. My niece brags about this product to her friends. My nephew is growing quite nicely and experienced no problems with colic or any other symptoms associated with this product. My only complaint is not with the product but with my pocket book. Can't wait until he is old enough to drink regular milk. Highly recommend for infants.
My daughter started with the yellow enfamil formula and was constantly fussy. I truly believe this is the best formula you can give your baby! Amazon is the cheapest place to buy it too.
We have had no issues with our baby using this formula. Makes me wish I had tried it with my others. No colic, no fussiness, no gas, no upset stomachs; some spit-up in the very beginning but most likely related to normal immaturity of the stomach valves. I feel like the price is comparable to other brands - the ones you thought you could trust but cause all the problems. No extra Dr visits, no reflux meds, no gripe water necessary..... therefore very cost effective! And it's organic...you can't go wrong!
