Formula For My Adventure

For the past few years I have heard the word "organic" thrown around a lot. To me, it just sounded like pretentious food. Why spend the extra cash for organic when I can get the same fruits, veggies, and meats for a fraction of the cost? It's what I've always eaten anyway, right? Before Spencer came into our lives I had decided that I would make his baby food when that time arrived. Who knows what manufactures put into the food he would be eating otherwise? Whoa...wait. That was the first time I started contemplating a semi-organic state of mind. Don't we all deserve to eat the best?

The second time, the time that sent me into crazy mommy mode, was very recent. Spencer has been experiencing a lot of dry skin issues for the majority of his life. I figured it was eczema since I suffer from it myself. We have been to the pediatrician, as well as a pediatric dermatologist. We've used steroid cream, hydrocortisone, and tons of Aquaphor. We even tried switching to a hypoallergenic formula thinking he may be allergic to cows milk. When none of those worked, I decided to switch him to organic formula, specifically Similac Organic. As their website states, the formula is made without the use of growth hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals. Growth hormones...what...eww. Are you kidding me? Well guess what, Spencer's skin has dramatically improved since we made the switch. He's even sleeping better at night. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'll take it.

There are several organic baby formula's to choose from including Similac Advance Organic, Baby's Only Organic, Earth's Best Organic, among others. We chose the Similac brand only because that is what Spencer has been using since birth.

Since making this change for the better, for Spencer, I have been intrigued by this whole organic movement. What I have been reading is interesting, stomach turning, and I feel will be life changing for me and my family. I hope through my blog I can spread some knowledge and help others.

Have a Healthy Day,

Jessica
