Clinical Trial
Nara Organics is the first USDA organic whole milk formula to complete its own clinical trial. Our independent, double-blind randomized controlled trial showed that Nara Organics Whole Milk Infant Formula:
- Is safe for babies
- Supports healthy growth
- Is well-tolerated — meaning babies digest it comfortably
Preparation & Mixing Guide
PLEASE NOTE: Nara uses a 1:1 ratio of water and powder. Add 1 unpacked, level scoop of powder to every 1 oz of water.
Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing infant formula. Ask your baby’s doctor if you need to use cooled, boiled water and if you need to sterilize bottles, nipples and rings before use.
- Wash hands, surfaces, and bottle before preparing
- Pour water into bottle. Measure and add powder to water (1 scoop per ounce of water).
- Return dry scoop to can. Cap bottle and shake well.
- Feed baby within one hour and discard any leftovers

Nara is creating a new standard for your baby. Here's what makes Nara a one-of-a-kind formula.
We're an American formula made in a state-of-the-art facility in Germany. Our manufacturing partner has made top European infant formulas for decades, and Nara meets EU food safety standards, some of the strictest in the world. We also meet U.S. standards and we’re FDA registered.

Babies need 50% of their calories from fat, so we start with the nutritious fat in whole milk. Nara has the most organic whole milk of any formula in the U.S. — we received a special designation from the FDA in order to use this level of milk fat. Developing research suggests that MFGM in milk fat helps support babies’ gut health, brain development, and immune system.
Most formulas rely on clinical data that's years — or decades — old. Nara was built from scratch, so we ran our own trial. 12+ months. Hundreds of babies. Randomized and double-blind. We're the first USDA organic whole milk formula to do so.
We include DHA and ARA, as well as inositol and choline, to support brain development (all at levels found in global breastmilk averages). We also add organic GOS, a prebiotic derived from organic lactose, to support digestion and soft poops.
We’re ingredient obsessed. You?

Safety you can actually see.
We test every batch of Nara against EU and U.S. standards — some of the strictest in the world. See exactly what we test for and why.
Whole milk is all about the fat.
Nara has the most organic whole milk of any U.S. formula. We only use whole milk (never skim), which means our formula has more milk fat and less oils, bringing the fat composition closer to breastmilk.
The best of all worlds, baby.

FAQ
FAQ
How much formula do I need?
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!
How do I start a new formula?
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, it’s recommended that you carefully prepare 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.
Is it ok to give my baby whole milk infant formula? I thought whole milk was for 12+ months.
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 cow’s 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.
Is Nara Organics formula easy to digest?
Yes, our formula is designed to be easy on tummies. We use an easy-to-digest whey:casein ratio of 60:40 that mimics mature breastmilk.
Also, lactose is the primary carbohydrate in our formula and acts as a prebiotic to support healthy bacteria in your baby's gut.
Are you a U.S. formula or a European formula?
We’re a U.S. formula and we meet all FDA requirements. Esther is an American mom who struggled to find a formula she felt confident feeding her daughter.
Our formula is made in a state-of-the-art facility in Germany. Why? Because we’re setting a new standard in baby formula, and the EU has some of the strictest formula food safety standards in the world. Simply put, our facility in Germany is an incredible place to make formula, and we perform 2,000+ safety and quality tests on our formula. We think this gives Nara babies the best of both worlds.
Is Nara available in stores?
Nara is available at Target stores nationwide, perfect for grabbing an extra can. You can also buy Nara Organics right here on our website, with savings and free shipping on monthly subscriptions.
