Infants ate soft or liquid foods made from animal milk, broth, or grains. In the 17th and 18th centuries, these foods were homemade; by the late 19th century, industrially produced options became available.

From wet nursing to dry nursing Before the era of "modern" medicine, breastfeeding was the preferred method of feeding infants, just as it is today. But if a mother's milk supply was inadequate or she chose not to nurse, the family often employed a "wet nurse" to nourish infants.

Thus experts generally advise introducing formula slowly, gradually replacing breastfeeding sessions with formula feeding. One method is to replace one nursing session per week with a formula feeding session. Start by giving your baby one bottle of formula at around the same time each day.

In 1865, chemist Justus von Liebig developed, patented, and marketed an infant food, first in a liquid form and then in a powdered form for better preservation. Liebig's formula—consisting of cow's milk, wheat and malt flour, and potassium bicarbonate—was considered the perfect infant food (Radbill, 1981).

When to introduce formula. If you plan to nurse and supplement with formula, it's probably best to wait until your baby is at least three to four weeks old before introducing a bottle. By then, you'll likely have a feeding pattern and solid milk supply.

The Infant Formula Act of 1980 resulted in promulgation of new quality control and labelling requirements for infant formulas.

Introducing infant formula will probably reduce the amount of breast milk you produce. To keep your breast milk supply going, it's important to keep breastfeeding your baby regularly. If you are combining breastfeeding with formula feeds, try to prioritise breastfeeding where possible.

Nestlé began in Switzerland in the mid 1860s when founder Henri Nestlé created one of the first baby formulas.
