Earth's Best has been a trusted organic baby brand for decades, and their infant formula offers a practical middle ground between mass-market and premium options.
THE VALUE PROPOSITION: At ~$22 per can, Earth's Best costs significantly less than Bobbie ($23/14oz) or Kendamil ($32) while still delivering USDA Organic certification. For families committed to organic but watching budgets, this matters.
WHAT YOU GET:
- USDA Organic certified
- DHA and ARA for brain development
- Iron-fortified
- Prebiotics for digestive health
- Lutein for eye health
HONEST ASSESSMENT OF INGREDIENTS: Earth's Best uses organic glucose syrup solids as part of the carbohydrate blend (alongside organic lactose). While this isn't ideal compared to lactose-only formulas, it's organic and acceptable for most babies.
AVAILABILITY: This is where Earth's Best shines - available at virtually every grocery store, Target, Walmart, Amazon, and drugstores. No subscription needed, no specialty store hunting.
GENTLE VERSION: Earth's Best also offers a Gentle formula with partially hydrolyzed protein for sensitive tummies, at similar pricing.
VERDICT: Earth's Best Organic is the sensible choice for families who want organic without the premium price tag. It's not the cleanest formula available, but it's a solid, trustworthy option that's easy to find.
