For babies' nutritional needs, baby food and formula are essential; these products are usually meant for babies between the ages of four months and two years. These goods serve as main sources of nourishment in situations where nursing may not be practical by offering vital vitamins and minerals that promote healthy growth and development. To accommodate varying developmental stages, baby food frequently comes in a variety of formats, such as purees, mashes, and soft textures. Contrarily, infant formula provides balanced nourishment specifically designed for infants and acts as a stand-in for breast milk. Parents are choosing clean-label and organic products as their awareness of nutrition and health issues grows. Furthermore, because packed meals are so convenient, many working families choose them to make sure that their infants get the nutrition they require even when they are on the go.

First, there is a growing desire for wholesome, high-quality options as a result of parents' growing knowledge of the significance of nutrition in early development.

Technological and packaging advancements also increase the convenience and shelf life of products, making them appealing to working families.

Challenges- Numerous obstacles impede the expansion of the baby food and infant formula sector in the United States.
