The Ugly Truth About Formula

I recently discovered that the formula I feed my son contains genetically modified corn and soy. Most of the infant formula contain GMOs, even organic formula contains some GMO.
I sadly did not have enough milk and we had to give him formula after I was informed of some pills that helped increase my milk Jared was already use to the bottle, I did have a full week to breast feed him, I think he was being nice to me because after a week he no longer wanted to be breastfed, and honestly not being able to breastfeed my kid broke my heart, it made me feel horrible! And when women who were able to tell me "well you should have kept trying" I honestly want to give them a piece of my mind. Even when other people are able to feed my son I get a little hurt because it was suppose to be a thing that only I was suppose to do, and come to find that I'm feeding him corn syrup and sugar makes me feel even worse.



There are many organic formulas out there but after doing a lot of research and I mean a lot!
I found one that does not contain GMOs in some form and that is Baby's Only Organic they have different formulas like Lactorelief, dairy soy etc. The only down side to this formula is that it is not recommended for babies under 12 months because the DHA and ARA in the formula are water-extracted from organic egg yolks and infants should not be exposed to egg until 12 months. This formula does not contain Marteks hexane-extracted algal DHA and fungal ARA oils.


One thing I could do is get breast milk from a milk bank but that is more expensive.
Can you believe that there are only 23 milk banks in the United States that are part of the Human Milk Bank Association of North America -- none of which are in Arizona, meaning local hospitals may come up short.(12 news)
