Chemical Burn & Yeast Infection from Pampers® Diapers with Dry Max

A few weeks ago was my daughter's first birthday. She is now sleeping thru the night so I thought I should purchase these "new and improved" Pampers with "Baby Dry Max"....well little did I know what I was about to encounter.

 My daughter had her first birthday "smash cake" all to herself.  She ate quite a bit.  That caused a major blowout in her system because this was the first time she has ever had sugar and cake!! Overnight I did the usual routine of packing on the "butt paste" and using this new and improved pamper diaper.  Needless to say in the morning I was in total shock!  When I changed my daughter her entire vaginal and buttocks area looked like someone had burned her so bad that the skin was blistered and almost a purple red.  She was very upset and at that moment I had no clue what that was only to think it was a reaction from all the cake she had eaten. 

Thank You For Making This Formula!

 
First off I really want to Thank you for making this formula!! I have breastfed my son for for 8 months and due to very low supply I have to supplement with formula. After reading all of the horrible things about baby formula on-line I was sick to think that was my only option. Luckily, I came across your website and needless to say I was very happy.

I just got home with stock of your dairy formula from Whole Foods on sawmill road in Columbus and I’m so excited to get him off Similac. You really have put my mind at ease with this! I would love to share my findings with others.

Easy Nutrition-Packed Pudding

My name is Diane and I'm the registered dietitian for Nature's One. We want to share a high calorie, yet nutritious, recipe using PediaSmart®. This recipe was developed based on feedback from our customers and some parents who have submitted recipes to us. For example, we have a dad who has two adopted sons who suffer from severe ADHD. Their medication curbs their appetite, causing them to be underweight. He is very enthusiastic about keeping them on an organic diet due to the negative effects of artificial color, flavors and sweeteners. Below is his pudding recipe. Enjoy! You can learn more about PediaSmart® at http://www.naturesone.com/pediasmart/weight-gain

Abbott Recalls Similac Baby Powder

 

"Abbott Laboratories is recalling about five million containers of Similac powdered baby formula as the company learned that beetles or their larvae could be in the product.

 

The recall comes after an internal quality review found the "remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in one production area" at its Sturgis, Mich., plant.

 

The maker of drugs and medical devices said the recall won't hurt earnings guidance for the rest of the year. Abbott, though, will record about $100 million of sales returns for the third quarter. The top line is expected to approach $9 billion for the period.

 

The recalled product was sold in the U.S., Guam and various locales in the Caribbean. Consumers can go to similac.com/recall for more information or call 1-800-986-8850."

Thank You Nature's One®

I just want to thank you for giving us a product that my son loves and does not get sick when eating. I had difficulties breastfeeding, so we had to put him on formula. I switched from formula to formula yet he continued to have stomach discomfort. I read the ingredients on the formula can. I was so upset to read what I was giving my newborn that I contacted my doctor immediately to set up an appointment. I asked him what I should give my child that does not contain all the sugar and "fake" ingredients. He went to his office and came back with "Baby's Only Organic®". I found a health food store that carried it, but they were closed. I found another store about an hour away, they were open so I bought a can to try. My son liked it and didn't get sick so I went back to buy a few more cans. We were so happy and relieved to find a product that was natural. Our son is nine months old now and still loves his formula. I told our doctor to continue to recommend this product to other families. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What are the Advantages of using PediaSmart® vs. Leading Brands?

Written by: D.Wilson, RD, LD, MPH

 

There are many benefits to eating an organic diet, both for the environment and especially for our children, as much research is starting to reveal. For instance, a report in Pediatrics in the June 2010 issue highlights a study done by several institutions in which their findings showed that children with higher urinary levels of a chemical called organophosphate were more likely to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. ⁽¹⁾  Organophosphates are found in common pesticides that are used on conventional produce crops that are available in grocery stores today. In fact, there are approximately 40 of these pesticides registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Children are said to be most vulnerable to these chemicals due to their smaller body weight and still developing brains.  The study in Pediatrics found this to be especially true in children from ages 6 to 11 years of age. They had the highest urinary concentrations of dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites (which are markers of organophosphate exposure) as compared to other age groups in the U.S. population.

Two other studies, one conducted by Environmental Health Perspectives and the other by The Organic Center, also concluded that there is a definite, measurable amount of pesticide residue found in the urine of children who eat a conventional versus an organic diet, especially from eating fruits and vegetables. ^{(2) (3)} This is significant news as postnatal organophosphate exposure has been associated with behavioral problems, poorer short-term memory and motor skills and longer reaction times in children. ⁽¹⁾

Most recently, the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity noted the possibility that developmental exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (such as organophosphate pesticides, monosodium glutamate, and bisphenol A) and other chemical pollutants can play a role in the development of diabetes and childhood obsesity.  Some scientists have coined the term “obesogens” for these chemicals because they believe they promote weight gain and obesity. ⁽⁴⁾

In light of the findings of these studies and reports, we are pleased to offer children a great start with our organic, pesticide free, complete nutrition products for both infants and children up to age 13 years. Our Baby’s Only Organic® formulas provide organic nutrition for children up to age 3 years.  For toddlers who need added calories, consider offering PediaSmart®, our complete organic nutritional beverage for children ages 1-13 years.  For more information on both of these products, please visit our website at www.NaturesOne.com.

Poop in your food!

What could sound worse? Poop in your food! Literally, this is what’s happening in large scale factory farms. Animals are knee deep in poop and it’s ending up in our food supply. There have been outbreaks involving salmonella or E. coli variants, all directly related to fecal contamination.
