Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It seems that those are the requirements for a "batch" and there is no apparent info on what a batch is, so we don't have any idea how many servings or bottles are in a batch. I'm sure when it comes down to the serving we would find almost no nutrients in the formula at all.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 My Granddaughter was on Similac till an allergy to it was diagnosed by her doctor. It claimed to contain 6 mcg per 100 calories. The Soy milk that she was transferred to claims 15 mcg per 100 calories (5 fl ounces after preparation) AnitaW > Engtovo wrote: > > It seems that those are the requirements for a " batch " and there is no apparent info on what a batch is, so we don't have any idea how many servings or bottles are in a batch.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Footnote a at the bottom states " a Stated per 100 kilocalories. " A kilocalorie is 1000 calories, so this would be per 100,000 calories. Until I saw that I was thinkin' it was crazy too, and saw a major niacin flush coming with 250 mg. But I now note that the magnesium is woefully low. *sigh* Judy > > It seems that those are the requirements for a " batch " and there is no apparent info on what a batch is, so we don't have any idea how many servings or bottles are in a batch.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hello everyone. This may clear things up, a kilocalorie is truly 1 calorie on food labels. Here's a link for reference http://www.calorie-counter.net/kilocalories-kcals.htm And it reads - A kilocalorie is a unit of energy - it's 1 food calorie, or 1,000 energy calories. It's the energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1° Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). > > > > It seems that those are the requirements for a " batch " and there is no apparent info on what a batch is, so we don't have any idea how many servings or bottles are in a batch.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Be careful of giving soy to a child. I used to make a great baby formula for my son using a recipe I got from Paavo Airola's book " Every Woman " . It's an old classic, but still around. The recipe called for goat's milk and water, 1:1, adding milk sugar (lactose), flax seed oil and something else, I can't remember (my son is now 17). I did breast feed but had to supplement as I wasn't able to make enough milk.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 my grandson is 15 months old he was given 1 or 2 bottles of formula in hosp. then was breast fed. we decided he would not drink formula full of corn syrup solids and other stuff. He has drank whole powdered milk since 4 or 5 months he is healthy. our family is predisposed to be diabetics and obese so why start he out to be fat.. my daughter steam fresh veg and fruit and made his baby food. no added sugar. gov would say he was deprived if vit etc, we say he was deprived of junk. iodine From: beebie10@...Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:48:56 +0000Subject: Re: Gov't requires 5mg iodine in infant formula?
