Formulas contain all the ingredients you need to feed your babies. Most often these are dry powders. Almost all of them are developed on the basis of high-quality cow's milk, which during the production process undergoes special processing methods, enriched with vitamins, amino acids and microelements. This is done so that the final product is more similar in composition to breast milk and corresponds to the digestive characteristics of babies.
