Abstract
The present invention is directed to a new unit dose packaging for infant formula. The infant formula is manufactured as a tablet. One tablet will typically contain sufficient nutrients to produce a single serving of the formula (i.e. the amount of formula an average infant consumes in a single feeding). Other aspects of the invention are directed to feeding an infant such a reconstituted tablet and packaging containing such infant formula tablets.
