Any baby formula: Any baby formula, either powder or liquid ready-to-feed, is fine in the U.S. The ingredients are very similar, regardless of the brand. Parents must be sure to mix powder with the correct amount of water. For healthy babies, formula made from cow milk is fine. Babies with special problems may need special formulas.
