I’m confused. Here is a quote from a UK website: “Infant formula is usually based on processed, skimmed cow’s milk. Added ingredients include vitamins, fatty acids and prebiotics (carbohydrates that can stimulate the growth of ‘good’ bacteria in the digestive system).” Are things very different in the US?
Maybe my experience of it is skewed, but there are lots of plant-based formulas sold in the US or primarily plant-based with small amounts of animal products added for nutritional reasons rather than as a base.

You can certainly buy plant-based formula, but most of the typical formulas you’ll find on Amazon or at a US grocery store are based on cow’s milk.
