No compromises, no tradeoffs.

At Nara Organics, we know that every baby has different feeding and nutritional needs. For general guidelines, you can check out our feeding chart for both formula feeding and combo feeding (50/50 formula and breastmilk).

The amount of formula your baby needs depends on several factors, including their age, their weight, and whether they're drinking all formula or combo feeding. If you’re fully formula feeding, your baby should take in about 2½ ounces of formula a day for every pound of body weight on average (according to the American Academy of Pediatrics). 

For Nara, our general rule of thumb is to start with the 6 pack for babies who are fully formula feeding, and to start with the 4 pack for babies who are combo feeding (50/50 formula and breastmilk) at any age between 0-12 months. 

This is just a guide, and you should always talk to your pediatrician if you have questions about your baby’s specific needs!

Always consult your baby’s doctor before you consider using or switching formula. Starting a new formula can feel overwhelming, but often it’s very simple, so let’s start there! 

Many babies can start drinking a new formula right away with no fuss. It’s always worth trying a bottle and seeing how it goes. They might make faces or spit/dribble a bit at first because babies are predisposed to sweet tastes (like breastmilk) and this is a new flavor. Babies also have a general tendency to reject something new (just wait until they start solids!). 

If your babe wasn’t thrilled about a new formula, fret not. Some babies may take more time to get used to a new taste. One way to ease the transition is to mix prepared Nara infant formula with breastmilk. If you do mix them together, some doctors recommend carefully preparing the formula before mixing with breastmilk. 

Babies have gas (no matter what they’re eating), and their poop changes with their diet, so as you introduce Nara, your babe’s poop may look or smell different. This is normal! Our infant formula includes prebiotics which supports healthy digestion and may help with soft poops.

If you suspect that your baby isn’t tolerating the formula well, be sure to address this with your pediatrician immediately.

The simple answer: We use organic whole milk because it’s filled with naturally occurring, nutritious fats that support your baby’s growth and brain development. Most formulas use skim milk and 100% vegetable oils as their fat, which means they miss out on those good milk fats. 

The longer answer: Whole milk fat and breastmilk (but not skim milk or vegetable oils) naturally contain fats in the form of fat globules that are enveloped by a layered membrane. The membrane, called the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) consists of a lot of different components that play a role in infant health outcomes. Researchers are still exploring the role of various components that are responsible for positive outcomes in infants, including neurodevelopment benefits, immune system, and gut health benefits just to name a few.

Yes, our formula is designed to be easy on tummies. We use a whey:casein ratio of 60:40 that mimics the protein blend of mature breastmilk.

Also, lactose is the primary carbohydrate for energy in our formula, which supports healthy bacteria in your baby’s gut. We also add prebiotics to support your baby’s digestion and to help with soft poops.

Our infant formula is a complete food for babies 0-12 months. The organic whole milk we use in our formula is wholesome and safe, and is combined with other ingredients to ensure your baby is getting the complete nutrition they need. Most infant formulas use skim cows’ milk — we use whole. 

Cows’ milk on its own (straight from the carton) can’t provide complete nutrition for infants and isn’t recommended for babies in their first year as a sole source of nutrition.

Yes! Nara Organics meets all FDA requirements. Nara is a U.S. formula, which means we’re regulated by the FDA. The FDA process is extremely rigorous (as it should be) and ensures all formulas in the U.S. meet nutritional and safety requirements. We also meet all EU food safety standards — some of the strictest standards for infant formula in the world. Learn about our quality standards.

Yep, our formula is USDA organic certified. We don’t just use organic whole milk, our formula is USDA organic certified. Nara is the only USDA organic certified whole milk formula in the U.S. with no skim milk. Read more about our ingredients.

We have the highest level of milk fat of any U.S. formula, which contains naturally occurring MFGM. We also include EU-levels of DHA, plus ARA, choline and inositol to support brain and neural development. In fact, we add DHA and ARA at levels similar to the worldwide average in breastmilk.

Prebiotics support your baby’s digestion and gut health. A healthy gut can also help with soft poops
