Cow-milk-based infant formulas

Cow-milk-based infant formulas are the default choice for healthy term infants. The protein is cow milk (skimmed or whole) with a 60:40 whey:casein ratio approximating breast milk. Not suitable for diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy, see the CMPA pillar.

What this list includes, and what it leaves out

Included
Formulas whose protein is cow milk, whether skimmed or whole, and left intact.
Left out
Hydrolysed cow-milk formulas are out even though the protein starts as cow milk: breaking it into peptides changes what it does clinically, and those have their own collection.
Price per ounce across the 78 formulas on this list, cheapest first.

Typical US retail price, normalised to USD per ounce of powder. Imported European formulas carry shipping and importer margin; US retail brands are typically cheapest per ounce. Subscribe-and-save and private-label pricing can shift the ranking. 3 ready-to-feed products are left out: liquid is priced per fluid ounce, which is not comparable to a price per ounce of powder.
