 Victim of corporate greed September 15, 2008
There's only one explanation of use of sucrose instead of lactose in this formula: 1) it must be cheaper than organic lactose (sugar derived from milk) 2) by it being sweeter than other options it helps to "hook" an infant on it.
Organic is the only way to go, so 3 stars for that (just the fact that they label it organic, meant that all other Similac formulas are not --> why in the earth would you ever consider to feed your newborn with a product made of pesticide/hormone/antibiotic laden ingredients is beyond me)
So, for now I'm switching from this product to something else, but i hope that one day Abbott will do the right thing.
 Good Stuff September 13, 2008
We have been feeding our son this formula since birth and he really likes it. If you look at the ingredients of most formula's Corn Syrup is the #1 ingerdient listed, but the #1 ingredient here is Cow's Milk...imagine that, milk is the #1 ingredient in baby formula! I also like the fact that they use evaporated cane juice as the sweetner rather than refined sugar and the DHA and RHA come from vegetable sources.
 Good for picky eaters September 13, 2008
My son was exclusively breastfed for 4 months, then I had to go back to work. Finding a formula that he would actually eat in any significant amount was a nightmare. We tried everything until one day I saw Similac Organic at the grocery store and figured it couldn't hurt to try! He went from eating only a few ounces of a bottle to chugging down the whole thing. I've tried it (I figure I need to try a taste of what he's eating) - it definitely tastes sweeter than the other formulas out there, but that also helps mask that heavy metal taste that some of them have. We've been using this formula for about 6 months now and haven't had any real problems with constipation, and anything that helps my little guy each is a good thing! I highly recommend it, but definitely shop around because there are cheaper places you can find this brand. And to reiterate what another reviewer said - all formulas have sugar in them.
 Caused constipation here too August 4, 2008
My baby never had a problem with constipation until we started this product. She went 4 days, 2 consecutive times, without pooping. When I stopped it she went back to her normal self ~24 hours after. I threw out the remainder of the can.
Sugar + maltodextrin vs. lactose May 31, 2008

Contrary to what other posters have written, there IS a difference between sugar in this formula and other formulas. Most other formulas contain lactose. True, they're both sugars, but lactose is what's found in breast milk, is a more complex sugar, and generally takes longer for the body to break down (a generally good thing). We've switched to Earth's Best Organic, which contains only lactose.
