Infants Formula
Infants formula is basically a replacement for mohter's milk. Even though the WHO recommends breastfeeding because of the nutrients and immune system protection provided by human milk, many babies are still formula fed. Many women choose to feed with formula because breast feeding is not possible or isn't convenient. Some mothers feel like it just doesn't fit their lifestyle. This group includes many working moms who prefer to feed with formula versus using a breast pump.
The first formula to be sold in stores was made in 1867 in London. 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.
Although the Liebig formula product was the first many claim Nestle was the original inventor. 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.
Over the years infants formula has been improved and manufactured by many different companies. Today you can find 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.
