No, but it brought to mind "follow-up formulas" that were supposed to replace
"real formula" at about 4 to 6 months.  Ads even said things like "is your
baby sitting up? Ready for solids?".  They were cheaper than "real formula"
and that was another selling point.  Are these things still made?  I don't
see much advertising for them any more.
