The medical community generally considers breast milk to be the best option for your baby.But many parents make the choice to give their baby formula in the first year of life. Formula is made up of special ingredients that try to mimic breast milk. Common ingredients include special amounts of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, iron, calcium and other vitamins and minerals. Different brands of formula do differ in their ingredients.
