Objectives
The purpose of this presentation is to:
 Discuss the varied types of infant formula
 Discuss the preparation steps for infant
formula
 Discuss safety hazards involved in preparing
infant formula.
What is Formula?
 Formula
 Commercially
manufactured milk product
 Designed to support infant growth
 Types
 Cow
Milk
 Soy-based
 Protein hydrolysate
Why Use Formula?
 When breastfeeding an infant is not possible or
desired
 If supplemental feeding is desired in addition
to breastfeeding
Cow’s Milk Formulas
 Most used and best tolerated
 Cow’s milk is altered to resemble human milk
 Cow’s milk protein allergies are possible
Soy-Based Formulas
 Possible cow’s milk allergy alternative
 Vegan infants
 Cow’s milk allergies = soy milk allergies
Protein Hydrolysate Formulas
 Hypoallergenic formulas
 Family history of milk/soy allergies
 Cow’s milk pre-digested
 Easier to digest
 Allergic reaction less likely
Other Specialized Formulas
 Premature infants/babies
 Infants/babies with specific medical conditions
Why Not Regular Cow’s Milk?
 Cow’s milk have too many nutrients for humans
 Cow’s milk = iron deficiency
 Commercial formulas = known needed
nutrients
 Infants need iron to grow and develop
Types of Formula Preparations
 Powdered
 Least expensive
 1 scoop powdered/2 oz. water
 Concentrated liquid
 Most popular
 1 ounce formula/1 ounce water
 Ready-to-feed
 Water not needed
 Most convenient
 Most sterile for of infant formula
 Most expensive
Generic vs. Brand-Name
 All infant formula = same nutrient density
 Formula Standards
 Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
 Raw ingredients may vary
DHA and ARA
 Fatty acids / lipids
 Naturally passed from mom to infant in
pregnancy
 Naturally occurring in breastmilk
 Development of infant’s eyesight and brain
 DHA = Docosahexaenoic acid
 ARA = Arachidonic Acid
 Long term benefits unknown
Probiotics
 Promote healthy bacteria growth
 Mimic immune benefits of breast milk
 Long term benefits unknown
Levels of DHA and ARA
All infant formulas sold in the United
States use the same source of
DHA & ARA.
The only difference among formula
brands is the amount of DHA & ARA.
