Comments on: DHA in Infant Formula: Is it Safe? http://ecochildsplay.com/2010/02/23/dha-in-infant-formula-is-it-safe/ Green and Natural Parenting for Eco-Friendly Families Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:34:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cara http://ecochildsplay.com/2010/02/23/dha-in-infant-formula-is-it-safe/#comment-25765 Cara Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:48:28 +0000 http://ecochildsplay.com/?p=7287#comment-25765 Sciencedaily has reported that the babies have shown better cognitive skills when using the formula. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090915100945.htm The number of babies who have a side-effect response to the additives are very small as far as I've been able to find, and the potential long-term side-effects seem higher. Finding a DHA/ARA free formula now is becoming more and more difficult because of that. I honestly think putting a 'warning label' on any formula is just a way to try and attack and guilt mothers who might have no other choice but to use formula. Iron causes upset tummies, so does soy, milk, and corn glucose, all things found in formula. But there's no warning labels on them for those.

Thankyou for your article! I am very disturbed that I can only find one formula on the market that does not have the DHA in it. After doing some research, I did not want to feed my daughter those man-made oils. She is thriving and can see perfectly fine :) What upsets me is that us Mom's woth babies who are done bf'g really dont have a choice. Thank you for this article. I will link this to me new blog.

No having to sort through wild claims. You'd really think they would need better proof that their artificial DHA has the same benefits as the natural stuff.

I never fell for all that DHA marketing. And I agree that it's not just the milk that children drink that makes them smart or not. It is a variety of factors. I explore the science of issues like these on my blog at www.savvysciencemom.com. Check it out! Good post. I never fell for all that DHA marketing.
