infant formula
Synthetic breast substitute
Infant formula is a manufactured food designed to substitute for human breast milk, typically a powder mixed with water to feed babies.
Most formulas are cow's milk–based, modified to approximate the nutritional profile of breast milk: The pediatrician recommended switching to a soy-based formula.
Parents may use formula exclusively or to supplement breastfeeding.
