What is baby milk formula?

Baby milk formula, also known as infant formula or simply formula, is produced to feed babies or infants under one year of age. It usually comes in two forms: powder and liquid. According to sales figures, powder is by far the most popular choice for American parents. Its purpose is to simulate human milk and some babies are fed this from birth when breast feeding is not an option.

Probiotics

Some formulas are fortified with probiotics to promote a balance of bacteria within babies. The market value of probiotic infant formula is estimated to increase in the coming years to reach around 17.3 billion U.S. dollars worldwide in 2024.
