Similac Organic Baby Formula Review Summary

“Best organic formula I've found!” describes several parent's experience with Similac Organic Baby Formula. With no added hormones and organic ingredients, Similac Organic Baby Formula helps parents “feel I am giving my baby the best I can.” Unlike other Organic baby formulas Similac Organic Formula uses organic cane sugar as instead of lactose or brown rice for a sweetener. This is great for babies who are lactose intolerant making Similac Organic “easy on my baby's tummy.” Unfortunately, some babies can have an adverse reaction to the cane sugar. One mom reports of her baby's experience “she became hyper and stopped sleeping through the night. As with most organic foods, Similac Organic Baby Formula is more costly than other baby formulas and isn't as widely carried as more popular baby formulas.

Similac Organic was great for our youngest daughter. I am a mother of four and wish that Similac Organic had been around when my other children were babies. We tried every formula for our 1 year old, and she always had issues with each one of them. Finally I decided to give Similac Organic a try and...

I wanted an organic product for my little girl, I even bought the RTF plastic bottles to reduce BPA in her diet..........now news of Perchlorate.   URGGGG what is a parent to do????  I also found out as I was doing more research for child #3 that Similac Organic formula contains SUCROSE because it is cheaper then lactose (especially organic).  Not a good thing for an infant, especially the teeth and later possible diet issues and obesity????  At this point I think we will have to try another alternative.  I do love the fact the RTF plastic bottles contained no BPA.....we may end up with the... read full review »

When your newborns are staying at the hospital, they are given the best care possible. My daughter had to spend 2 extra weeks in the NICU because of an infection. She was terribly sick and of course we were terrified but as everyone insisted, she was in the best of hands. 

The first few days, she was unable to eat. They attempted to feed through a tube but she managed to pull it out so IV’s with fatty solutions were used until she was able to nurse from a bottle. When she was able to successfully bottle feed the hospital relied upon Similac Advance Infant Formula With Iron. You may wonder what...

I have one daughter who has been mostly on formula because of various reasons.

Our hospital gave us Similac advance to use,  We chose this one because we trusted the Similac name, the hospital mentioned it first over the other choices, and we knew that it contained ARA and DHA ... ingredients added to infant formulas to help promote healthy brain development.

The idea behind these added ingredients is to provide formula milk that is similar to breast milk. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) are currently stated to support the rapid brain and eye development in babies as they...

My son is now 5 1/2 months old, and since I am going back to work, we needed to find a formula to supplement with "just in case." Concerns abounded-- will he like it? Will he drink it? Digestability? Constipation? No need to worry. The kid "switch hits" like he was born to do it. And as for the "more sugar" controversy, you should note that what they are not adding is lactose, which is difficult for some babies to digest (i.e. increases spit-up and gas), but cane sugar instead. AND, unlike Earth's Best, Parent's Choice, and Bright Beginnings, MILK is listed as the #1 ingredient-- other brands use...

When I was pregnant, my husband and I attended the child preparation class at my hospital.  A peditrician gave a detailed review of all of the different types of formula products on the market.  He advised that we breastfeed but also gave his review of formula.  I breastfed my daughter for a year, but at seven months old, I started to give her a bottle of formula before bedtime.  Until that time, she was dependent on being breastfed before bed, which meant that if I could not be home, then she would not go to bed.  I am sure she would have grown out of this phase, but we decided giving her...

My midwife recommended this formula (Similac Organic) shortly after my son was born, as he was having trouble latching on, and needed something to eat until my milk came in. My husband picked up two bottles of the ready to feed (liquid) formula from our local Target, where they cost about $6.50 each. I was very reluctant to use this product because I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my child, but I had not choice. i did feel good about it being organic, at least. The bottle is easy to pour and in a durable container, but SMELLS VERY BAD, maybe because of the vitamins. It also stained some of my...

After having two kids with stomach problems, one which was allergic to soy and the iron upset his stomach, and the other had acid reflux as an infant, I was worried about choosing the right formula for my third baby. I did however breastfed all of my kids but I use formula when I was on the go. I found that the Similac Organic didn't upset my baby's stomach plus I was felt like I was feeding her something that was just as good as breast milk. By feeding your child Organic milk you are keeping the fertilizers, pesticides, and antibiotics out of your child. Also the  ingredients in fertilizers...

Similac Organic has been a main and important staple in my daughter's diet since she was young. Similac organic baby formula has kept my baby healthy since I stopped breast feeding her at seven months of age. She is two and still takes it, asking for it several times throughout the day. She is not a good eater, and is allergic to milk so I am happy with the nutrients that she receives by supplementing her diet with Similac Organic. She is rarely sick, and loves it taste. I am also pleased with product's ingredients and the low amount of sugar it contains compared to other formulas. Walgreens...

I love Similac's Organic baby formula, my daughter used it for MONTHS and never had a problem with spitting up or gas. While this formula can be a little more costly than others, if you join Similac's mailing list they periodically send you checks for the cans. You can combine these checks with coupons as well, for even MORE savings! I used to save $15.00 a can, that is half the price.


This formula made me feel good about giving my baby formula, after struggling to breastfeed.  I only want the best for my baby girl, and I believe this formula delivers it.  I feel smart buying it too, because...

I love Similac Organic formula because  I feel like I am giving my baby the best I can give.  This formula is easy on my baby's tummy because I have not had a problem where my baby refused to take it or was fussy when my baby had drank a bottle of it.   Unfortuantely this formula can be a little on the expensive side.  I know though if you sign up with their web site they can send you coupons, which can help out a lot.  Just so you know once they know you are using their product, after a while they will stop sending the coupons, which is what happened to me.  I used to get a few coupns... read full review »

I bought Organic Similac thinking it was an a safer, organic alternative to the regular Similac we had been using. But within 48 hours my son become constipated. I couldn't understand why -- he had been fine on both enfamil and similac. I did some research and disovered organic similac is made with sucrose instead of lactose, because organic lactose is really really expensive. The sucrose is basically cane syrup, which is really sweet and hard for babies to digest. Organic Similac is the ONLY formula I have found that uses sucrose. Even the knock-off walmart brand is better and contains the...

We tried Similac formula after a few weeks home from the hospital with our baby and realized that after trying everything, I wasn't producing enough breastmilk. (see my review on Parent's Choice Organic Formula for full story).
I knew I wanted an organic formula and after trying some other kinds for a cheaper price, we went back to the Similac and used the organic one. This is great for my baby, she spits this up less than breastmilk it seems. I found the difference between this formula and the others to be that they had added lactose and this doesn't. A bit pricey, but SO worth it.
