Infant formula An infant being fed from a baby bottle. Infant formula, also called baby formula, simply formula (American English), baby milk or infant milk (British English), is designed and marketed for feeding to babies and infants under 12 months of age, usually prepared for bottle-feeding or cup-feeding from powder (mixed with water) or liquid (with or without additional water).
Breast milk contains fats, proteins, carbohydrates (including lactose and human milk oligosaccharides), and a varying composition of minerals and vitamins.
