Baby’s Only Organic® Toddler Formulas Use Proven Medical & Nutritional Pediatric Science.

Baby’s Only Organic^® Lactose Free Formula is only available through www.NaturesOneDirect.com.

Baby’s Only Organic^® Lactose Free is the ONLY organic milk-based formula on the US market that does not contain lactose.* This formula is intended for babies who are lactose intolerant and is the perfect alternative to parents who wish to avoid soy protein in their baby’s diet. Baby’s Only Organic® Lactose Free is a milk based formula, but the lactose or milk sugar has been removed using a special enzyme process. Additionally, Baby’s Only Organic® formula does not contain corn syrup as found in all other lactose free formulas. Instead, we use organic brown rice syrup as a healthy and well tolerated carbohydrate for babies. Baby’s Only Organic® Lactose Free is scientifically designed to address common digestion problems that result in fussiness, diarrhea, gas and bloating.

This iron-fortified formula provides the essential vitamins, minerals, protein, essential fatty-acids and carbohydrates needed to support your baby's continued growth and development. Nature's One® designed its organic formulas according to the nutritional requirements as defined in the law called the Infant Formula Act.

Baby’s Only Organic® is labeled a toddler formula because Nature’s One® believes breast milk is the best organic choice the first 12-months of life. After breastfeeding, parents can continue providing organic nutrition using Baby’s Only Organic® Lactose Free Formula. For a baby less than 12-months, use as directed by a healthcare professional. We recommend that you present our leading brand nutritional comparison chart to your doctor.

After 12-months of age, some pediatricians may recommend cow milk or a lactose-free beverage. These beverages fail to provide the complete nutrition and critical fatty acids found in Baby's Only Organic® formula. It is important for a toddler to consume foods that offer a well-rounded diet consisting of the appropriate amounts of protein foods, breads and cereal products, fruits and vegetables. It is also important for toddlers to receive the proper nutrition in the correct balance. As toddlers are introduced to new foods and experience fussy eating patterns, parents can insure their child is consuming the proper levels of these important nutrients by offering Baby’s Only Organic® as a beverage to compliment table foods until 3-years of age.

Baby’s Only Organic^® formulas are Certified Organic by OneCert. OneCert is a USDA approved government agency, similar to Quality Assurance International (QAI). For more information about OneCert refer to their website at www.onecert.net. OneCert also complies with the new USDA National Organic Standards Program.

Nature’s One® ingredient standards extend beyond “organic,” insuring the highest quality formulas available. The following information will help you compare Baby's Only Organic® ingredients to conventional lactose-free formula brands

Carbohydrates

Brand	Carbohydrate Source
Baby’s Only Organic®	100% Organic Brown Rice Syrup
Similac® Sensitive™	Corn Syrup Solids, Sugar (Sucrose)
Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®	Corn Syrup Solids

Carbohydrates are one of the crucial dietary sources of energy that supports the brain, enables muscular contractions, and provides the fuel necessary for a baby’s rapid growth through 24-months of age. So it is important for a child to get plenty of carbohydrates from good sources.

In some cases, the carbohydrate lactose can overwhelm a baby’s ability to digest the milk-sugar and cause gassiness, bloating and a very unhappy baby. If your baby is experiencing these symptoms, consult with your healthcare professional to determine whether a lactose-free or soy formula may be recommended. If the parents are milk sensitive, it is not unusual for a baby to inherit this same intolerance.

Baby’s Only Organic® Lactose Free Formula uses organic brown rice syrup as its carbohydrate source. Rice is known to be a relatively non-allergenic food and well tolerated by infants. This is the reason rice cereal is most often the first food introduced to older infants. Baby’s Only Organic® Lactose Free is a milk based formula, but the lactose or milk sugar has been removed using a special enzyme process.

Similac® Sensitive™ and Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil® formulas contain corn syrup solids and Similac® also adds sugar (sucrose) for carbohydrate. Sugar or sucrose used in Similac® Sensitive™ is a simple sugar. Simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and absorbed into the bloodstream, increasing insulin levels. A more complex carbohydrate, such as organic brown rice syrup used in Baby’s Only Organic® formulas, requires more time for digestion resulting in slower and steadier absorption of the carbohydrates into the blood stream and a more constant production of insulin.

Essential Fatty Acids

Brand	Linoleic Acid (per 100 kcal)	Alpha-Linolenic (per 100 kcal)
Baby’s Only Organic®	1000mg	128mg
Similac® Sensitive™	1000mg	100mg
Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®	860mg	Not Stated

Many formulas, such as Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®, are lower in the essential fatty acids, Linoleic Acid and Alpha-Linolenic fatty acid. These precursor fats are important for the body to convert to DHA & ARA and are critical to brain and eye retina development. In fact, the makers of Similac® supported a study¹ comparing breast fed infants to three formulas described below:

• A formula containing no added DHA & ARA, but contained higher levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid similar to Baby’s Only Organic^® Toddler Formula.
• Two formulas supplemented with synthetic DHA and ARA that contained lower levels of linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid.

The results of this study did NOT support adding synthetic DHA & ARA to formula that contained the higher levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. However, Nature's One® recognizes that some babies may not be as efficient at converting linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid and recommends supplementation with Baby's Only Essentials® DHA & ARA. The synthetic DHA & ARA used to supplement Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil® and Similac® Sensitive™ infant formulas are treated with hexane solvents, acid and bleach during the manufacturing process.

It is best to compare pediatric formulas using a 100-calorie serving, which is approximately 5-ounces of formula. So over the course of a day of feedings totaling 28oz, a baby consuming Baby’s Only Organic^® would receive 784mg MORE linoleic acid and 185mg MORE alpha-linolenic fatty acid when compared to Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®.

DHA & ARA Fatty Acids

Brand	DHA Fatty Acid
Baby’s Only Organic®	Sold separately as Baby’s Only Essentials® DHA & ARA Supplement
Similac® Sensitive™	Martek's DHASCO & ARASCO C. cohnii oil (algae) & M. alpina oil (fungus)
Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®	Martek's DHASCO & ARASCO C. cohnii oil (algae) & M. alpina oil (fungus)

Baby’s Only Essentials^® DHA & ARA Fatty Acid Supplement is available for parents who would like to take precautionary measures to help ensure their baby has sufficient levels of DHA and ARA. The DHA and ARA in Baby’s Only Essentials^® fatty acid supplement are naturally derived from egg phospholipids (egg yolk) using a gentle aqueous (water) process. Egg phospholipids, like those found in Baby’s Only Essentials^® DHA & ARA have been used in clinical studies with infants over the past decade. One recent study showed that egg phospholipids are more efficiently absorbed than other sources (fish oil and fungal oil).¹ Egg phospholipids contain Choline, an important nutrient needed for the production of neurotransmitters and development of the memory center in the brain. Egg phospholipids also contain cholesterol, used by the body to manufacture Vitamin D, various needed hormones and bile acid. Cholesterol is also an important component in cell membranes. Baby’s Only Essentials^® DHA and ARA Fatty Acid Supplement is a well understood and a safe source of DHA and ARA that can be added to Baby’s Only Organic^® Toddler Formulas or to foods as a child grows older.

Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil® and Similac® Sensitive™ use a novel synthetic source of DHA and ARA for their infant formulas. Our company does not prefer the source or the extraction process for vegetarian fatty acids. The C. cohnii oil (algae) and M. alpina oil (fungus) used in the organic and conventional infant formulas are treated with hexane solvents, acid and bleach during processing.² This is a common extraction process for conventional oils, but is prohibited for organic vegetable oils. We also know that vegetarian sources are a relatively new/novel source of fatty acids and there may be much to learn on the efficacy of these fatty acids. For these reasons, Nature's One® developed its DHA & ARA product using egg phospholipid, which has been naturally derived and consumed by humans long before the first "chicken or the egg" riddle was posed.

Vegetable Oils

Brand	Vegetable Oils
Baby’s Only Organic®	Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Organic Soybean Oil & Organic Coconut Oil
Similac® Sensitive™	High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil & Soybean Oil
Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®	44% Palm Olein Oil, 19.5% Soy Oil, 19.5% Coconut Oil, 14.5% High Oleic Sunflower Oil

Some formulas, such as Enfamil® LactoFree® Lipil®, use palm olein oil as part of the fat blend in their formulas. Palm olein oil is made from palm oil. Unfortunately clinical studies have proven the use of palm olein oil as a predominant fat source in infant formulas causes some babies to poorly absorb calcium resulting in lower bone mineralization.^{1, 2} When palm olein oil is provided in the formula, calcium soaps (calcium in fat) are formed in the gut. These calcium soaps prevent the absorption of fat and calcium in the gut and can also result in harder stool formation³ or constipation.

Almost 90% of all palm oil is produced in Indonesia and Malaysia at oil-palm plantations. This has resulted in widespread deforestation, destruction of rain forests, and putting the survival of some animals at risk. The razing by burning of tropical rain forests to make way for oil-palm plantations also results in the release of large amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.⁴

Baby’s Only Organic^® Toddler Formulas contain no palm olein oil and no palm oil. Instead, Baby’s Only Organic^® formulas contain a blend of organic oils: Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Organic Soybean Oil and Organic Coconut Oil. Baby’s Only Organic^® vegetable oils are expeller-pressed, which is a squeezing process to extract the oil from the organic plants. No harsh chemicals are used to produce the vegetable oils.

Nucleotides

Baby’s Only Organic^® Lactose Free Formula contains naturally occurring nucleotides found in organic cow's milk protein. Nature’s One^® believes this is adequate to meet the growth and development needs of children. These organic nucleotides are not declared on Baby’s Only Organic’s label because it is not an ingredient addition - instead they occur naturally as mentioned.

Nutritional science and the medical community have not determined if there are any added benefits for added nucleotides - especially since all are synthetically derived. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition weighs-in on this subject as well commenting that “...additional studies are needed to understand the mechanism of action, confirm clinical endpoints, and monitor the long-term effects of adding nucleotides to infant formula.” ¹

Most importantly, nucleotides added to conventional and organic infant formulas are derived by synthetic, non-organic methods. There are presently no organic or natural sources for nucleotides. We are therefore concerned about the harmful effects of the chemicals used to process nucleotides and the synthetic source of nucleotides; especially since the benefits of their addition have not been clearly demonstrated.

Taurine, Selenium & Iron

Baby's Only Organic^® formulas do contain taurine, selenium and iron, similar to conventional formulas.

Taurine, an amino acid normally present in breast milk, has been shown to play a role in retinal development, among others. Cow and soy milks do not contain adequate amounts of the amino acid.

Selenium is a mineral important for proper formation of red blood cells, development of skeletal muscle and proper growth. Selenium, too, is normally present in breast milk, but lacking in cow and soy milks. Baby's Only Organic^® contains added taurine and selenium.

Iron is added at the level recommended by the Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition. Inappropriate dietary iron could result in anemia, weakness, muscle fatigue, abnormal gastrointestinal motility, and a reduction of cognitive ability. This reduction in cognition has been shown to be irreversible, even once a normal iron level is retained.

*Do not use for children with Galactosemia. Instead, use Baby's Only Organic^® Soy Formula.

Baby's Only Organic^® formula is available in powder form. Each can contains 12.7 oz (360g) of powder and makes a total of 80 fl. oz.
