Did you ever read the label?

So we have decided to supplement with formula. I never did this with child #1, but every situation is different. Child #1 goes to well visits and that's about it. We've been in to the Doc with #2 more in the last two months than you want to even imagine. Forget the sleeping, we're working on the big A, asthma. That's another story. Back to formula. Did you know the first ingredient listed in some baby formula is Corn Syrup and one even had High Fructose Corn Syrup? Nutrients aside (and let's put the breastfeeding argument away momentarily) high fructose corn syrup is derived from corn starch and a complex process is used to make glucose into fructose. I will not get into the polysaccharides, enzymes, glucose molecules, refining, fermentation, glucoamylase etc used in the process but I think you get where I am going with this, right? The FDA regulates the manufacturers for safety, but do you really know what your giving your baby? Read the labels! Would love your opinion on the matter!
