From the Smithsonian,
Nestle's product was modelled on the earlier work of German scientist Justus von Liebig, who developed a soluble food for babies based on his studies of animal nutrition. However, Nestle's food was considered easier to prepare and, unlike the Liebig formula, only required the addition of water, making it the first complete infant food.

formuls works if you have reliable access to clean water. many women were told to raise their children on it rather than breastfeed. once they were no longer lactating they were beholden to the whims of a company that would one day say the idea that water is a public right "extreme". controversies of nestlē
