What is Formula Milk?

Formula milk is usually called Infant milk or Baby milk formula, used as an alternative to breast milk. Formula milk is mostly prepared for babies to fulfill their nutritional requirements. Baby Formula milk contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other additives for the complete growth and development of the infant. It can be available in both liquid (ready-to-use) and powder form in the market. The USA FFDCA defines the term formula milk as, 

  "A food which purports to be or is represented for special dietary use solely as a food for infants because it simulates human milk or its suitability as a complete or partial substitute for human milk".

Why Formula Milk Is Necessary for Infants

Infant formula milk is very important for the proper growth of babies as in some cases mothers can’t breastfeed their babies. Besides that, the nutritional requirements of the babies can’t be fulfilled by mothers' milk solely. During the first 6 months and even after that, the infant needs all the nutrients and minerals in excess amounts because the development and maturation of his organs are happening. In that case, it is compulsory to provide nutrition from the outside in the form of baby formula milk. 

Baby milk powder contains more amino acids and caloric content (670 kcal/L) as compared to breast milk. Hence, it is wise to opt for infant formula if your baby is lacking in growth and developmental milestones.
