Background
You can say that my baby was a nightmare. God love her, but she didn't sleep during her first few months and she screamed for hours on end. Some nights she could scream for 7 hours straight. It was enough to make you rip your hair out. I dont know if she were officially colicky-- but that certainly seems to be a fitting word. I was desperate for a solution... I was beyond sleepless.

We tried breastfeeding. We tried feeding from a bottle. Similac. Enfamil. Gas drops. New bottles. All with no success.

The Solution- Baby's Organic Formula
Then, thanks to my mom (the health fanatic), we found Baby's Organic Formula. We gave my daugher her first sip and she was hooked. She loved Baby's Organic. Infact, she devoured it. We could not get it into her fast enough!

I dont know if it were Baby's Organic or the timing, but my daughter nearly instantly turned into a normal kid. Thank goodness. Oh, did I mention that she would never drink anything else? If you gave her Similac she would spit it out! 

Mildly Annoying
The only thing that I find annoying about the formula is that they dont include a scooper. They are so into the environment, that they dont want to include anything plastic. I appreciate the sentiment.... but when you are time starved and sleep deprived, you dont have time to mess around trying to figure out quantities. Good thing I had saved a scooper from my sons Similiac.

Cost 
Each can runs about $10 each. So, be prepared for a pretty hefty investment. I tried to negotiate  a volume discount. It is worth trying. Also, if you buy 20 or so cans, I think you get one free. Read the fine print on the can.

thank you for your review i think this info will help. It's a bummer they don't have a scoop. I also found that it's really not that pricy, similac is 14.99 a can, enfimil, 14.99 a can good start is a little more, and the can size for those is 12.9 oz, and i think babys only is 12.6 or 12. 7, and it's 10.99 a can, so i donn't think the price is that bad. it is to bad that they only have one can size though, I am going to try is out, my 6 month old id alergic to Dha, made from algea,mold,fugus and potroleum byproduct, so I'm really looking forward to this formula.

Also, in that article it shows how Baby's Only is actually cheaper than not only other organic formulas but non-organic formulas, too. Lots of info in it, "Baby's Only Organic Toddler Formula Review," by T. H. Pankey

Jolie, that's really great about how that happened. If you'd like to read a rather in-depth review on not only Baby's Only Organic Formula but a number of other helpful points of information to help with making decisions for our babies, read the review by T. H. Pankey, "Baby's Only Organic Toddler Formula Review, Indictment on Life'sDHA, Life'sARA, Corn Syrup Solids in Infant Formulas and Unscrupulous Infant Formula Companies."
