Ok, I'll throw my think cap in.  I agree with keeping it as far away from
sounded like it is close to human milk or that it is what infants are
supposed to recieve (ie artifical baby milk)  Although I agree that it is
artificial the later sounds too much like it's for them anyway.  I have
often thought about this before.  Since everyone already knows it by
"formula" I thought that it might help to use some of that in a new name.
Formulated Infant Nutrition.  The problem with this one is that it sounds
too nutritional. lol <g>
So, maybe, Formulated Infant Food.  You know, like cheese food instead or
real cheese.  Or Formulated Infant Bovine milk & Formulated Infant Soy milk.
Hey!  How about: Formulated Infant Liquid or Formulated Infant Drink or
Formulated Infant Supplement.  Ok, I'm finished.  These are the best I can
come up with.
