Infant FormulaYour little one has arrived and is ready to explore their big new world. Every day brings exciting developments! Enfamil infant formula can support your baby’s development as they navigate their first year. Feed their tummy with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to promote growth, support their brain development, nourish their body, and help them move forward to all those incredible milestones ahead.
How much formula should you feed an infant?Babies grow fast, so their feeding needs change quickly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following general guidelines for the first year:
First days: If your baby is exclusively formula feeding, offer them 1 to 2 fl oz of formula every two to three hours, or about eight to 12 times in 24 hours. Hunger cues like crying may also indicate your little one is ready for their next meal.
Through the first five months: As your baby’s belly grows, so will the time between feedings since they’ll be able to consume more at each feeding. By five months, babies eat about 6 to 7 fl oz once every three to four hours. You may have to gently wake your baby to feed.
Months six through twelve: Feed your baby when they show signs of hunger, which may be about five or six times in 24 hours. The need for formula will decrease as you begin introducing solid foods into their diet.
All babies are different and have unique needs. Have a conversation with your healthcare provider to discuss your baby’s feeding pattern.
What is the best infant formula?With so many infant formula choices available, how do you choose the right one? Which are some key nutrients? Is organic infant formula important? While only you and your pediatrician can determine the best infant formula for your baby, there are some important nutrients to consider when comparing options.
Look for the following:
- Brain-building DHA as experts recommend
- Vitamins D, C, E, and prebiotics for immune support
- DHA blended with arachidonic acid (ARA)
Does your baby have tummy troubles, allergies, or special dietary requirements? Consider formulations that target their particular needs, such as soy-based infant formula for those sensitive bellies.

Powdered milk products for children and diet food
Category: Milk and dairy products
The range of powdered dairy products for children and diet includes more than 25 items.
Dairy baby food products are classified into groups, first of all, depending on the intended purpose, into subgroups - on the age and state of health of children, according to technology.
For merchandising, it is advisable to classify dairy products for children and diet food into the following main groups: liquid and pasty, dry and dry adapted.
Powdered milk formulas are produced on a milk basis for healthy children under one year old: "Solnyshko", "Vitalakt", "Ladushka", "Malyutka", "Kid", "Detolakt", etc.
For healthy children of preschool age, they are produced mostly liquid sterilized products. Powdered milk formulas "Novolakt MM", "Fitalact", "Enpity", dry low-lactose and lactose-free formulas, etc. other components.
For children under one year old, reduce the mass fraction of protein by 2-3 times. Linoleic acid deficiency is eliminated by adding vegetable oil. The carbohydrate and vitamin composition is corrected.
Powdered baby milk products are produced non-adapted and adapted using whole or skimmed milk. The purpose of milk adaptation is to reduce the mass fractions of protein and ash elements, change the fatty acid composition (add essential fatty acids), increase the mass fraction of carbohydrates and vitamins, i.e., to bring the chemical composition of cow's milk closer to human milk.
During the production of baby food products, the composition of milk protein is changed using technological operations so that the product coagulates in the baby's stomach in the form of small flakes.
The main components that characterize the chemical composition of the most common dry dairy products for baby food are given in Table. 7.5.
Powdered milk mixtures "Malyutka" and "Baby". These products are powders obtained by mixing a dry milk base with sugar, vitamins C, PP and B 6 and iron glycerphosphate (Baby). During the development of the "Kid" mixture, flour or oatmeal is added to the dry milk base with the same components. The standards for dry milk mixtures normalize the indicators given in table. 7.5, as well as the content of heavy metals, iron glycerphosphate (not more than 0.022%). Solubility is standardized only for the "Malyutka" mixture (not more than 0.2 cm 3 of wet sediment).
Dry formulas must have a clean, characteristic fresh milk formula taste without foreign tastes and odors, color - white with a creamy tint, consistency in the form of a fine homogeneous dry powder. The total number of bacteria in 1 g of the product should be no more than 25 thousand, the content of bacteria of the Escherichia coli group in 1 g of dry mixtures is not allowed.
The technological scheme for the production of dry mixes consists of the following main operations: obtaining a dry milk base, receiving, storing, preparing and processing components, dosing and mixing components with a dry milk base, packaging and sealing finished products.
For the “Malyutka” mixture, potassium and sodium citrates are added to the milk, which contributes to the easy assimilation of the formed casein-sodium and casein-potassium salts by the child's body. The mode of heat treatment of cream and skimmed milk provides the required efficiency and improves the stability of the product during storage. To increase the dissolution rate, the dry milk base immediately after drying is sent to the instantizer, where the particles are agglomerated. Then the dry milk base is mixed with the necessary components in special mixers in such a way as to prevent the product from caking and increase its flowability.
Ready mixtures are packaged in 0.5 kg weight in cardboard bags laminated with aluminum foil or covered with a polymer film inside.
In special chambers, the packages are evacuated, nitrogen is supplied, after which the packages are hermetically sealed.
The storage conditions for all dry baby and dietary foods are the same. It is recommended to store them at a temperature of 1-10 ° C and a relative humidity of no more than 75%. The shelf life of the dry formula "Malyutka" is no more than 10 months, the dry milk formula "Baby" is no more than 8 months.
Dry milk formula "Detolact". The main physical and chemical indicators normalized by the standard are given in table. 7.5. In addition to them, the solubility of not more than 0.3 cm 3 of the raw precipitate and the pH in the reduced form of 6.65-6.85 are controlled. The organoleptic characteristics of the product are determined after reconstitution.
A special feature of Detolact production is that it is produced from skimmed milk with the addition of corn or coconut oils, lactose, sucrose, minerals and vitamins, and emulsifiers.
All components are mixed until thickened, concentrated in vacuum apparatus, dried and packaged under aseptic conditions. Thanks to this technology, the dry mixture "Detolact" has a high resistance up to 18 months, contains a minimum bacterial contamination. When used, heat treatment of the reconstituted mixture is optional.
Dry milk mixtures "Vitalakt" and "Ladushka". Powdered milk formulas "Malyutka" and "Baby" do not fully meet the requirements for dairy products intended for children of the first year of life. The adaptation of these mixtures was carried out mainly by changing the composition of cow's milk, the carbohydrate composition remained practically unchanged.
"Vitalakt" and "Ladushka" are adapted milk mixtures (replacers of women's milk). Protein components are adapted by introducing whey proteins to a ratio of casein and whey proteins close to human milk, where it is 40:60. This increases the biological value of the product, digestibility. In adapted mixtures, the mass fraction of calcium is reduced, which contributes to the utilization of mineral ingredients.
Carbohydrate ingredients are adapted by adding oligosaccharides (dextrin-maltose), which ennobles the intestinal microflora of the child.
In the production of dry formula "Vitalakt", sunflower oil, vitamins A and D 2 , dextrin-maltose are added to the milk mixture. Dry milk whey (humanizing additive SHD-2), beet sugar, vitamin C are added to the obtained dry milk base. After that, the components are mixed in mixers.
Adapted dry mix "Ladushka" differs from "Vitalact" in the ratio of casein and whey proteins, which is 50:50.
Powdered milk "Vitalakt" is stored for 8 months, "Ladushka" - 6 months.
Powdered milk formulas for dietary nutrition. These include powdered low-lactose milk formulas, powdered milk formulas "Enpita".
Dry low-lactose formulas are intended for dietary nutrition of children with galactosemia, primary or secondary lactose intolerance. These are low-lactose mixtures with malt extract, with rice flour, buckwheat or oatmeal, low-lactose milk.
For the production of low-lactose milk, casecite is used as the main protein component, the high biological value of which is determined by the physiological balance of the protein and the most important mineral elements (K, Na, P, Ca).
Enpitas are products intended for the internal nutrition of children. "Enpits" are protein, fat, fat-free, anti-anemic. All mixtures, except for fat-free ones, are produced using the “Kid” dry milk base technology. In addition to casecit (a soluble milk protein concentrate with a balanced mineral composition), they include skimmed milk powder, blood, glucose, corn starch, granulated sugar, and vitamins.
Ready mixtures are packaged and packaged in a nitrogen atmosphere with pre-vacuuming and stored for no more than 6 months.
