 I am posting for a friend whose 1 year old has started
 having what the doctors think is breath holding spells.
 Basically, whenever stressed or upset, the baby holds
 her breath until she passes out, turns blue and starts
 convulsing, then within less than a minute she is back
 to normal. The doctors are still running additional
 tests, but are pretty convinced this is what they are
 dealing with. My friend asked me to reach out to the
 sfpom community to see if there is anyone who has
 experienced something similar and would be willing to
 connect with her.Thank you all very much in
 advance,Kaska

 Hello,the babies (B / G) are now 5 months+ one week.
 they are eating more and more and I supplement with
 Formula for the 4pm feed i the dinner feed. we have
 been using Similac Advance. I have been looking for
 good organic one but I cant find a good one that does
 not have SUGAR or CORN Sirup or some other very bad
 ingredient despite the "organic"...what are you using?
 thanks!

 I shared your frustration. We used Earth's Best, which
 is significantly more expensive than most brands, but
 it was the one we felt was the best choice based on our
 concerns about corn syrup and non-organics. I was
 astounded about the sugar as well but I was told that
 breast milk is mostly "sugar" and that is what the
 babies need. Here is a quote from a NY Times article
 (that was largely about how bad sucrose in formula is!)
 "All infant formulas contain added sugars, which babies
 need to digest the proteins in cow's milk or soy. Other
 organic formulas, like Earth's Best and Parent's
 Choice, use organic lactose as the added sugar. Organic
 lactose must be extracted from organic milk, the global
 supplies of which have been severely stretched in the
 last three years, driving up the price of the lactose."

 + 1 for Earth's Best organic. Our twins are now 9.5
 months have been exclusively formula fed since birth
 since I cannot breast feed for medical reasons. 
 They've been extremely healthy and have been growing
 like weeds (knock on wood!). We had a few
 gas/constipation issues in the very early months but
 toughed it out mostly because I could not find another
 formula I believed in (for what it's worth, probiotics
 seemed to solve most of our gas problems). I highly
 recommend.

 we used earth's best dairy (red can) too, along with
 infant probiotics added daily to the girls' anti-colic
 bottles
