Just a comment on infant formula. 

While *some* of the formulas are preprocessed, not all of them are to 
the same degree, or in the same way.  My granddaughter, who is now about 
2 1/2 months old, had to go through 3 different formulas until my 
daughter found one that was easiest on her.  This one, milk based, is 
both preprocesses for the proteins, and lactose free - she had tried 
initially just the "normal" Enfamil formula, then the Enfamil Gentlease, 
and finally the LactoFree.  And she's thriving on that, by the way.  For 
my money, and I did quite a bit of looking into the formula offerings, 
Enfamil seems to have the best range of products.
