Infants Formula

Mothers looking for a substitute for breast milk turn to infants formula, also know as baby formula. Although the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding due to the rich nutrients and immune system protection provided by human milk, many babies are formula fed. Some women choose formula feeding because breastfeeding is difficult or impossible for them. Others feel formula feeding is more convenient for their lifestyle. Many working moms whose babies attend day care or are cared for by a nanny prefer formula over pumping breast milk.

Back in 1867, the original baby formula was sold in London's stores. It was called Liebig's Soluble Food for Babies. This product was made by scientist Justus von Liebig and was based on the idea that a breast milk substitute could be made by combining the elements of protein, fat and carbohydrates. The formula was sold in Europe by the Liebig Registered Concentrated Milk Company. Within twelve months time the formula was also being offered in the U.S. This product was at first made in liquid form and mixed with milk, then was made in powder form. Powdered formula is popular to this day and is the most common variety due to its convenience and shelf life.

It is believed that Nestle is the original inventor, even though the Liebig formula product is considered the first. There is no doubt that Nestle played a big role in the development, manufacturing and marketing of infant formula, and still does today. In 1867, the same year as the invention of the Liebig formula, Henri Nestle of Switzerland saved the life of a neighbor's premature baby. The baby was unable to consume mother's milk, a common cause of infant death at that time. Nestle created Farine Lactee, a blend of milk, sugar and flour. Remarkably the baby survived thanks to this nutrient rich formula. Nestle soon became a popular international company who now makes many different food and beverage products.

Through the years, baby formula, also known as infant formula, has seen many improvements and been produced by lots of different companies. Today there can be found a wide variety of brands on the market including Nestle, Ross and Mead Johnson. Similac by Ross and Enfamil by Mead Johnson are the most popular formulas but not the only ones by far. There are even generic brands such as Parent's Choice by Wal-Mart that offer the same nutrition at a lower price. Even though breastfeeding is recommended by most doctors, all the formula sold in the U.S. must meet rigorous standards. This means it is both safe and nutritionally complete for babies to consume.
