They are putting WHAT in baby formula?????  

This really does sound completely insane. I sure hope that mothers who use formula will protest against this crazy development.

Another great reason to breastfeed your newborn. Why would the FDA approve this? It's just crazy. Will this lead to anorexic toddlers? It's hard enough to get them to eat now. I dont think this was very well thought out. I hope people refuse to purchase this product.

So glad that I am done having children and that my son will be off of formula in about 3 weeks. That is just crazy. I don't think that they should try suppressing the appetities of babies come on their babies and they need to grow leave their stuff alone.

wow how terrible. I think people should protest and wright to the company. The fda approved this. crazy. Breast is best and for the ones that cant breastfeed please do use organic.

That is horrendous! I have a 15-month old that I started off with mixed feeding because I had a Caesarian section. He decided to drop the formula and nursed exclusively for a few months before he had solid foods. I, too, believe that mother's milk is the best food for babies. But if my son had wanted to bottlefeed, I wouldn't want him to have anything unnatural added to it. It is said that babies eat just enough until they're full. They don't have the tendency to overeat. Obesity in infants and small children which can not be attributed to any medical condition would be due to overfeeding. Thus, it would be the parent's or caregiver's doing because the baby can not feed himself. I don't think adding an appetite suppresant would solve this problem. We need to get better educated on proper nutrition land eading a healthy lifestyle.

An appetite suppressant in baby formula? Who on earth came up with that idea? Babies need to eat! They don't overeat, they eat when they are hungry! I hope mothers don't buy that stuff!

So fart i have not found it on snopes and if its not on snopes it a rumor. Take a deep breath somebody just want a rise out of the formula feeders.

I cant believe this! Are they putting it in every baby formula? I breastfed but I also supplemented with formula the first few months and again when I weaned. This is insane.

It is totally rediculous that they would even consider putting appetite suppresants in baby formulas!! I would think that this would cause much more harm to the little ones rather than help stop obesity. You are right, there are many different factors that cause obesity. I don't think that right now there are any babies that are on formula that are obese. This really sickens me!
