FYI…only the liquid formulas contain BPA in the lining. All of the powder formulas have been changed to remove BPA lining. It is a lining that helps the food last without causing even more major health issues. All cans with liquid in them require it today until another lining can be found.

Thanks Tiffany,

Unfortunately I had to supplement my breast milk as well with my children, but I did not use Nature’s One because it is a toddler formula and not suitable for a baby. My doctor recommended Vermont Organics Infant Formula and my son Fletcher did great with the formula. All formulas may have a little BPA in the pull-back lid, but it is not used to make the formula. All canned goods have BPA in the linings, so I wasn’t as concerned about using formula as I was about using baby bottles with BPA.

At any rate, Vermont Organics worked for me and is available online, which saves me gas and the impact on the environment: http://www.pbmstore.com/veormifo.html. Breast feed if you can – I did for as long as I could, but I would stay away from making your own formula and buy one that complies with FDA and USDA guidelines for infant, not toddler formula.

Tiffany,
I’m a first time Mom that is trying to provide the best for my son. I don’t know a great deal about all natural products. I’ve been using Johnson & Johnson wash and lotion on my son. I’ve noticed his skin is getting SO dry and rough. Then I heard how those products have chemicals that can cause cancer! I’m very concerned and need other options for skin care.. Please help!!! If you can also provide me with some websites/books that can educate me on eating and living healthier. Thank you!!

If you really want to be safe and green–go diaper free a la Elimination Communication (EC) or Infant Potty Training (IPT). I work, so we do it part-time, which cuts way down on laundry. FWIW we use prefolds in a gdiaper cover, sometimes prefolds just pinned on in the usual way without a cover, and whenever we can, we EC.

I looked into Parent’s Choice Organic. I was excited to see that they have an organic brand, However, I read through some reviews stating that their cans are very full of BPA. Now, I don’t know how they know this, but they mention that the can didn’t have a “liner” like some others do. Any comments?
