Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA

Nature’s One® strives to offer children a better start…for life™ with our nutritionally complete formulas made in our technologically advanced, state-of-the-art facility in Ohio, dedicated to organic nutrition. Each batch of formula is tested for heavy metals, salmonella and microbiological contamination.

Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA is the only goat milk formula made with organic egg lecithin, a source of DHA and ARA. It also features a blend of carbohydrates, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to support normal growth and development. Goat’s milk is known for its ability to support efficient and easy digestion because of its unique protein composition.^1-7 Unlike other formulas, our formula does not contain hexane extracted oils, palm olein oil or palm kernel oil which can negatively impact digestion, or soybean oil. We are confident that our new Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA provides parents with a better goat milk formula option!

Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA is intended for ages 1-year and older or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Supports Digestive and Immune Health

While cow’s milk formulas have been used and recommended for decades for children, research indicates that goat’s milk may support gentler and more efficient digestion when compared to cow’s milk.^1-7 This is attributed to the structure of the protein in goat’s milk.

The amount of protein found within goat’s milk is comparable to cow’s milk, but the structure of the proteins is different between the two.² Goat’s milk protein (compared to cow’s milk protein) offers more A2 beta casein, less alpha-s1 casein, and a greater amount of a type of B-lactoglobulin also helping with digestibility.^2-4 These aspects of goat’s milk are why many believe that goat’s milk is related to easier digestion compared to cow’s milk.

Goat’s milk also contains oligosaccharides, which are thought to provide numerous benefits, including serving as prebiotics.^8-10 Prebiotics help support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which helps support the digestive and immune systems. Some research shows that oligosaccharides in goat's milk-based formulas have anti-infection properties.¹¹

If your child is experiencing symptoms like abdominal discomfort, bloating, colic, constipation, diarrhea, spit-up, vomiting, reflux, skin inflammation, rash, or eczema, talk to your child’s healthcare provider to determine if Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA or any other formulas in the Baby’s Only® product line may help.

Great Taste!

Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA has a slightly sweet taste with a hint of vanilla, a creamy consistency, and a great tasting flavor like that of the other Baby’s Only® dairy-based formulas. Many report that Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA does not have the distinct “goaty,” grassy, and earthy flavor that is found in other goat milk products. We think this is a huge advantage – especially for little ones who are sensitive to flavor changes!

A Better Start...For Life™

Parents should be aware that Nature's One does not use objectionable ingredients like organic corn syrup (also called glucose syrup), palm olein oil, hexane processed DHA, or DHA derived from environmentally unfriendly sources such as fish. Nature’s One strives to use only high-quality ingredients as part of our strict Purity Pledge.

Note: We analyze each batch of formula knowing the nutrient composition of organic ingredients may change due to seasonal and growing conditions.  This can result in a minor change to the values shown on the label’s Nutrition Fact Panel.

Allergies and Intolerances

Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA is a nutritious alternative for those who wish to avoid formulas made with cow’s milk ingredients. Unlike other goat’s milk formulas on the market, Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula does not include added lactose, which is often sourced from cow’s milk (there is, however, some naturally occurring lactose from goat’s milk in our formula). It can be used for children with food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities to soy, wheat, gluten, peanut, tree nut, sesame, fish, shellfish, and corn proteins.

*Important: Do not use for children with lactose intolerance or for children with food allergies or intolerances to cow’s milk or goat’s milk. Do not use for children with the rare disorder galactosemia. Instead, Baby’s Only® Organic Plant Based Pea Protein Toddler Formula may be a fit.

A Superior Source of DHA

An organic source, no harsh chemical solvents, and better absorption? That’s our Baby’s Only® DHA! Because DHA plays a role in brain and eye development, choosing one that is free of pesticides, herbicides and certified organic is important. That is why we innovated organic DHA and are the only company in the world offering it in any formula.

Baby’s Only® Goat Milk Toddler Formula with DHA and ARA has the added benefit of featuring a unique, pure source of DHA and ARA unlike other formulas on the market. The DHA and ARA within the formula comes from organic egg lecithin, which is naturally derived from the egg yolks of eggs laid by organic hens. Egg sources of DHA offer DHA in its phospholipid form. This form of DHA is widely studied and understood to be more easily absorbed and offers greater bioavailability when compared to other sources of DHA and ARA in triglyceride form. DHA and ARA in their triglyceride form comes from algal and fungal sources and these sources are processed with harsh chemical solvents like hexane. Because of our commitment to purity in nutrition, we do not use these forms of DHA and ARA and this sets Baby’s Only® above other formulas. Contact us for more information.

Developed to Meet a Child's Nutritional Needs

Baby's Only® Organic Toddler Formulas meet the nutritional recommendations made by a task force of pediatricians and other experts* convened at the request of the FDA. Although Baby’s Only® formulas have not been through the complete FDA evaluation process required for infant formulas, charts comparing the nutrients within our toddler formulas to other infant formulas on the market today can be shared with your child’s healthcare provider.

Vitamin A

Why is vitamin A important?

Vitamin A is important for the development of bones and teeth and helps maintain the gums. It is essential for night vision, healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes.

Vitamin D

Why is vitamin D important?

Vitamin D, also known as calciferol, is often called the sunshine vitamin because of the body’s ability to make it from the interaction of the sun on the skin. Vitamin D made from this process is referred to as vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol. Vitamin D3 is also available from animal sources. Vitamin D derived from plant sources is known as vitamin D2 or ergocalciferol. Vitamin D helps the body properly utilize calcium and phosphorus for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Research has confirmed that vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2 in humans in improving the bodies vitamin D status. Vitamin D is essential for the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth in babies, children, and adults. In babies and children, a deficiency of vitamin D results in rickets, a softening of the bones, which can result in bent legs. In adults, osteomalacia (a softening of the bones) or osteoporosis (thinning and weakening of the bones) can occur. An excessive amount of vitamin D supplementation can result in an elevated blood calcium level and can lead to calcium deposits in soft tissues, including blood vessels and kidneys, resulting in serious damage. High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, diarrhea, drowsiness, or headaches could also result from an overdose of vitamin D. Before using a vitamin D supplement, always check with your healthcare provider who can perform a blood level test and determine the appropriate amount of vitamin D supplementation needed per day.

Vitamin E

Why is vitamin E important?

Vitamin E is a generic term used to describe a family of eight antioxidants – 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. However, only alpha-tocopherol is the form actively used in the body and is, therefore, the form of vitamin E found in the largest quantity in blood and tissues. Natural vitamin E acetate, also known as natural alpha-tocopheryl acetate, is the commonly used form of vitamin E in foods and vitamin supplements. Vitamin E protects vitamin A and the essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body. It is needed for the proper functioning of nerves and muscles and helps to form red blood cells, muscle, and other tissues. A deficiency of vitamin E has been observed in individuals with severe malnutrition or who have a malabsorption syndrome such as cystic fibrosis or cholestatic liver disease. A deficiency of vitamin E can result in neurological symptoms such as impaired balance and coordination, muscle weakness, and damage to the retina of the eye. Excessive vitamin E can impair blood clotting leading to hemorrhage and can have a negative effect on white blood cell functioning.

Also known as vitamin B9, folate describes a term which includes both naturally occurring folate found within food as well as dietary supplements and fortified foods that include folic acid. Folate promotes normal red blood cell formation and supports DNA metabolism. Folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube (brain and spine) birth defects, which is one reason why a dietary supplement with folic acid is recommended during pregnancy.1 Folic acid is a required nutrient within infant formulas.

Vitamin B6

Why is vitamin B6 important?

Vitamin B6 influences many body functions including the regulation of blood sugar levels, the manufacturing of hemoglobin in red blood cells which carries oxygen to all body cells, and the functioning of the nervous system. As protein intake increases, so does the body’s need for vitamin B6. Also, an adequate vitamin B6 intake decreases the requirement for niacin from food sources because it aids in the conversion of tryptophan to niacin.

As blood passes through the tiny air sacs in the lung, oxygen attaches itself to the iron in the blood. That is how oxygen is carried to all parts of the body. Iron combines with protein and copper to make hemoglobin, a necessary component of red blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells. Iron also is a component of myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen specifically in muscle tissue. Approximately 90% of iron in the body is conserved and reused every day.

Food sources of manganese include:

Whole grains and cereals, nuts, leafy vegetables, molasses, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and tea.

Carbohydrate

Why are carbohydrates important?

Carbohydrates are one of the crucial dietary sources of energy that support the brain, enable muscular contractions, and provide the fuel necessary for a child's rapid growth, especially through the first 2 years of life. It is important for a child to get adequate amounts of carbohydrates each day from good food sources.

What are the different types of carbohydrates in food?

Carbohydrates are sometimes simply called sugars or starches. They are classified scientifically as monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides. • A monosaccharide is a one molecule sugar (referred to as a simple sugar or simple carbohydrate). Examples are glucose (sometimes called dextrose), fructose (sometimes called fruit sugar), and galactose. Glucose is the major fuel needed by the body for energy. This is why intravenous fluids (IVs) used in medical situations contain glucose (dextrose). • A disaccharide is made up of two monosaccharides (referred to as a simple sugar or simple carbohydrate). Lactose (sometimes called milk sugar) is made by the joining of one glucose molecule with one galactose molecule. Sucrose (also called table sugar) is made by joining one molecule of fructose with one molecule of glucose. The body breaks down disaccharides into monosaccharides and then converts these to glucose providing needed energy for the body. • A polysaccharide contains more than two sugar molecules. Examples of polysaccharides include organic brown rice syrup, as is found in several Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas, corn syrup, molasses, and starches. Polysaccharides are often called complex sugars or complex carbohydrates.

How are carbohydrates digested?

Simple sugars (referring to monosaccharides and disaccharides) are quickly digested and absorbed by the body into the bloodstream. As sugar levels rise in the blood, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin. Insulin is needed to move the sugar from the blood into the cells where the sugar is then used for energy. When this process goes fast, a feeling of hunger will more likely occur sooner. When it occurs slower, the body appears to be satisfied from hunger longer. Simple sugars usually cause blood sugar levels to rise quicker than complex sugars and increase the production and release of insulin by the pancreas. If the sugar in the bloodstream is not used by the body for energy, then it is stored as fat. The longer the carbohydrate length, the slower the body breaks it down and, thus, the slower the absorption of the sugar from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. If there is a slower absorption of the sugar, there is a slower release of insulin. Also, a slower digestion lets the body utilize the sugar for energy and there is less potential for the sugar to be converted into fat.

What is the source of carbohydrate in breastmilk?

Breastmilk is unique in its properties and cannot be duplicated. There are many unique compositional features in breast milk that result in its easy digestion, including factors that help the breakdown of nutrients and their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. There is no comparing the lactose digestion of a breastfed baby to that of a formula fed baby because manufactured formulas do not contain the many other compositional features of breast milk. The primary source of carbohydrates in breastmilk is lactose.

What is the source of carbohydrate in Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas?

A variety of sources of carbohydrates can be found in Baby’s Only® organic formulas. The following lists the sources of carbohydrates within each of the formulas.

Baby’s Only® Organic Dairy Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup, organic nonfat A2 milk
Baby’s Only® Organic Dairy with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup, organic nonfat A2 milk
Baby’s Only® Organic Gentle Toddler Formula: Organic lactose, organic nonfat milk
Baby’s Only® Organic Gentle with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula: Organic lactose, organic nonfat milk
Baby’s Only® Organic Sensitive with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup, organic milk protein concentrate
Baby’s Only® Organic Plant-Based Pea Protein Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup
Baby’s Only® Cholov Yisroel Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup, nonfat milk
Baby’s Only® Goat Milk with DHA and ARA Toddler Formula: Organic brown rice syrup, skim goat milk

Can you tell me more about the organic brown rice syrup found within some Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas?

A carbohydrate source added to several Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas is organic brown rice syrup. Rice is gluten-free and is known to be a relatively non-allergenic food and is well tolerated. In fact, rice is the least allergenic of all grains. Organic brown rice syrup also offers the benefit of slower digestion and absorption providing a steadier level of sugar being absorbed into the bloodstream, a more even production and release of insulin, and a more even supply of energy to the body’s cells. In addition, Nature’s One® organic brown rice syrup is grown and processed without the use of chemicals. Organic brown rice syrup is slightly sweeter than lactose but significantly less sweet than sucrose (table sugar) or cane sugar. The medical community has expressed concern over using cane sugar in formulas because it is five times sweeter than lactose and could pose health or medical issues related to obesity or dental caries. In recent years, there has been some concern over the arsenic content found within rice products. True to our founding principles and Pure 10 Pledge, Nature’s One successfully identified a more pure source of organic brown rice. To further press our objective for the purest and best nutritional ingredients possible, Nature’s One worked with our supplier in 2012 to innovate a filtration process that eliminates metalloids, such as arsenic, from organic brown rice syrup when present. We believe this makes organic brown rice syrup one of the purest sources of carbohydrate when compared to organic sucrose and organic glucose syrups (also known as corn syrup).

Can you tell me more about the lactose in some Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas?

Formulas with lactose: Organic lactose is added as an ingredient in Baby’s Only® Organic Gentle Toddler Formula and Baby’s Only® Organic Gentle with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula. Organic nonfat milk, found in the two Gentle formulas plus Baby’s Only® Organic Premium Dairy Toddler Formula and Baby’s Only® Organic Premium Dairy with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula, also provides naturally occurring lactose. Baby’s Only® Cholov Yisroel Toddler Formula contains naturally occurring lactose within its nonfat milk ingredient. In addition, Baby’s Only® Goat Milk with DHA and ARA Toddler Formula also provides some naturally occurring lactose through its skim goat milk ingredient.

Formulas without lactose: Baby's Only® Organic Sensitive with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula is a milk-based formula, but the lactose has been removed using a special organic compliant enzyme process. Baby’s Only® Organic Plant-Based Pea Protein Toddler Formula does not contain lactose. Both formulas are likely suitable for children with lactose intolerance. For children with galactosemia, Baby’s Only® Organic Plant-Based Pea Protein Toddler Formula is likely a suitable fit – check with your healthcare provider to confirm.

Protein

Why is protein important?

Proteins are essential to life and are necessary for the body’s manufacturing and maintenance of all cells and tissues, including organ and brain development, and the making of essential body constituents such as hormones and enzymes. If excess protein is consumed and not needed by the body, it is converted to fat and stored by the body as a potential future energy source. Proteins are made up of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids. 9 of the amino acids are termed “essential” amino acids. That means that the body cannot make them, and they must come from food. Other amino acids are termed “nonessential” amino acids. That means that the body produces the amino acid on its own, even if the person does not get it through the food they eat. Of the nonessential amino acids, some, at times, can be considered “conditional amino acids.” This means that under some conditions, like in times of rapid growth (in infancy or pregnancy), illness, or stress, the amino acid becomes “essential” to consume. Baby’s Only® Organic Toddler Formulas provide all the essential and non-essential amino acids needed to support growth and development.

Dietary Fats

Why are dietary fats important?

The term “lipid” refers to compounds including oils, waxes, animal fats and triglycerides that do not dissolve in water. Lipids are referred to as “dietary fats,” or more simply, “fats. Fats constitute the principal structural material of all living cells and are an important source of energy. Healthy skin and hair are maintained by fat. Fat also helps the body absorb and move the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K through the bloodstream. Dietary fat intake provides needed essential fatty acids to the body. These essential fatty acids are linoleic acid and linolenic acid. These are fatty acids that the body cannot make, and they must be derived from foods. Fats provide energy. An excess of dietary Calories provided by carbohydrates, proteins or fats will be stored in the body as adipose tissue. Adipose tissue serves as insulation for the body’s cells and organs. Triglycerides are the chemical form of fats that exist in foods as well as in the body. Animal fats, such as butter and lard, tend to be solid or semisolid at room temperature and are more saturated than fats from plant sources. Fats from plant sources are usually liquid at room temperature and are called oils. Most plant oils are made up of unsaturated fatty acids, except for coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils, which contain saturated fats.

There are two types of unsaturated fats:

• Monounsaturated fats: Examples include olive and canola oils.

• Polyunsaturated fats: Examples include fish, safflower, sunflower, corn, and soybean oils.

Fats are important for children. They are needed to support growth, development, and energy needs. A child who is not eating or drinking foods with adequate amounts of essential fatty acids can develop a fatty acid deficiency. This is one reason why healthcare professionals strongly advise against the use of skim or low-fat milks during early childhood. Signs of an essential fatty acid deficiency include poor growth, scaly skin lesions, dry brittle nails, dandruff, and lack of hair luster.

What is the source of fat in breastmilk?

More than 98% of the fat in human breastmilk is in the form of triglycerides. Saturated fats, including palmitic acid, make up a large portion of the total fatty acids within breastmilk. The monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, also constitutes a large percentage of the fats within breastmilk. Breastmilk also contains high proportions of the essential fatty acids, linoleic fatty acid and linolenic fatty acid. Human milk also contains the non-essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid).

What is the source of fat in Baby’s Only® formulas?

Baby's Only® Organic Toddler Formulas offer unique oils depending upon the formula, which may include organic soybean oil, organic canola oil, organic high oleic oil (organic high oleic sunflower oil and/or organic high oleic safflower oils), organic linoleic sunflower oil, and/or organic coconut oil as the formula's fat source. These fats provide the needed essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, to the body. In addition, the following formulas provide an extra source of DHA & ARA from organic egg lecithin:

• Baby’s Only® Organic Dairy with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula

• Baby’s Only® Organic Gentle with DHA & ARA Toddler Formula
