I feel that I need to apologize for a previous post. I had mention Baby's Only Formula was a safe bet because of their method of DHA/ARA extraction being water based instead of toxic hexane.
Recently, there has been a big deal made over brown rice syrup and mainly that it's the main ingredient in some infant and toddler formula's. The brown rice syrup contains higher levels of arsenic which is being exposed in dangerous amounts to baby's.
While watching this story on the news yesterday, I noticed that the only formula brand that was mention was Baby's Only. This was difficult for me to hear because that is the brand that I use and of course I just opened the first can of my most recent 3pack order.
I find this information disturbing. I feel that I put in a decent effort to keep my kids healthy and it's really upsetting when I think I'm using a safe product and it's basically been poisoning my girls this whole time. Against what is "advised by the experts", I have completely discontinued the use of any formula and put my 10 month old on organic whole milk. I have also thrown away my baby cereals containing DHA/ARA because of the toxic hexane method used for extraction. I also plan to make more baby food from scratch as I did with my first born.
I don't know what else there is to do to protect our children. I wish there were better answers and better efforts made from these manufacturers.
