The great desideratum, in devising an infant's formula for food, is to make it, until he be nine months old, to resemble as much as possible a mother's own milk.

1888, Pye Henry Chavasse, Wife and Mother: Or, Information for Every Woman, page 272:

No extra ingredients to calculate, because it's a complete infant formula.

1944, Rocky Mountain Medical Journal, volume 41, page 291:

Reconstituted powdered infant formula is probably a common vehicle in transmitting Salmonella to infants, given its major role in the infant diet, but contamination of formula is more likely to occur from the preparer or preparation environment than from the manufacturing process.

2004, Enterobacter Sakazakii and Other Microorganisms in Powdered Infant Formula, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations:

Health professionals and caregivers are faced with a bewildering array of infant formulas for non-breastfed infants.

2007, Don M. Roberton, Practical Paediatrics:

Before the early 1900s, mothers who couldn't breast-feed for medical reasons didn't have the option of infant formula and often used wet nurses, or women who were employed to breast-feed children other than their own.

He, when he was very old, had the happiness to taste milk from the same nipple which the child Jesus sucked, whence I wonder he was not rather called Lactifluous than Mellifluous.

1518, Desiderius Erasmus, “The Religious Pilgrimage”, in Colloquies:

Goat’s milk is in fact more similar to human milk than cow’s milk, but it is still unmodified and should never be given to a baby under six months. Some goat’s milks are unpasteurized and should not be given to young children because of the risk of bacterial infection in a baby whose immune system is still not fully developed. If you do give unpasteurized goat’s milk to a child under one it should be boiled first.
