 Constipation + Sucrose = No, thanks! Sep 29, 2008
By Victoria Compton
"Hyakamooks"
You think you're doing something good for your kid when you invest a little more to get an organic formula. Sadly, that's not the case here. This is a horrifically constipating formula...lots of pain and straining, guaranteed. Having to take measures to prevent this (offering juices, water, etc) is just not a sensible approach.
Also, the manufacturers use sucrose instead of lactose to save money, and they use a LOT of it. With the same sweetness as country time lemonade, Similac Organic's sucrose-based formula may also set your child up for future diabetes. Check the NY Times article for more info on this.
Bottom line: painful constipation in the near term, possible diabetes and certainly a sweet tooth in the future...no, thanks!

I thought I was doing the right thing by buying organic and thought Similac was a brand I could trust to be good for baby. That is, until I came across this NY Times article about the sugar they use... [...]
From the article:
Parents may be buying [Similac Organic] because they believe that organic is healthier, but babies may have a reason of their own for preferring Similac Organic: it is significantly sweeter than other formulas. It is the only major brand of organic formula that is sweetened with cane sugar, or sucrose, which is much sweeter than sugars used in other formulas.
No health problems in babies have been associated with Similac Organic. But to pediatricians, there are risks in giving babies cane sugar: Sucrose can harm tooth enamel faster than other sugars; once babies get used to its sweeter taste, they might resist less sweet formulas or solid foods; and some studies suggest that they might overeat, leading to rapid weight gain in the first year, which is often a statistical predictor of childhood obesity.

 Baby loves, and so do we Apr 14, 2011
By Carl Nothnagel
Great product, our daughter loves this and has been gaining weight great. We try to get as many organic foods as possible for us and our daughter. This is one of the few options that are available in ready mix. We don't have much time in the morning or evening so this works great for us. First we were mixing breast milk and similac advanced and she was doing great. Then we wanted to go to organic and moved to this. When we were doing both breast milk and this we noticed she pooped far less, not a bad thing and never farther than 36 hours. Now she only drinks this formula and poops a few times a day and is growing great. We started her on this at about 1.5 months a few ounces a day (sometimes mixed with breast milk , and now she is 5 months old and eating about 32 ounces a day (a regular little chubbers).
On a side note if you ever tasted breast milk, this tastes as close to that as any formula we tried. Some formulas are so nasty smelling and tasting its a wonder any baby eats them...
Cheers!

constipation Mar 04, 2008
By A. Boodhoo
"deaddodo"
we switched from the advance similac to the organic product thinking it would be better as we prefer organic foods ourselves. it was a disaster with our 2 month old baby getting constipated and progressively worsening her intake till she fell drastically below her calorie intake. we discontinued the product within five days and switched back to the previous similac and she is fine now. her feeding and calorie intake is back to normal

Excellent supplemental formula Sep 03, 2011
By Mom of Twins
"Molly O"
I was looking for a formula to supplement my breastmilk for my twins (I have never made enough). I was given Similac Advanced in the hospital in the little two ounce bottles, so I started there. When we ran out of the free samples, we tried to switch to the powdered Similac Advanced, it gave my girls horrible gas. I didn't realize that the two might be different. When we went back to pre-mix to try to resolve the gas issue, I bough a couple of bottles of the organic to try out. I felt like I would rather feed my children organic ingredients over conventional ones if all else was equal. I also looked at the Similac for gas and fussiness and sugar is the first ingredient. Um, no thanks. I felt that the organic milk ingredients were closest to the ingredients in breastmilk (what they get 3 out of 5 feedings a day), so I was happy when they took to it easily and without gas. For the record, we have had ZERO problems with constipation. If I have to feed formula (which unfortunately I do for some of their feedings), I'm glad that I have this formula as an option!
