| 1 paragraph | 0-6 months | High fat, low protein, simulated colostrum | Wyeth Qifu, Feihexingfeifan |
| 2 paragraphs | 6-12 months | Added iron and calcium to support the sitting and crawling period | Love his beauty, beauty praise Chen Lanzhen |
| 3 paragraphs | 1-3 years old | Fortified with DHA and probiotics | Abbott Xiaoansu, Junlebao |
| 4 paragraphs | 3 years and above | Balanced dietary supplement | Yili Gold wins the title and Nuoyouneng |

2.Differences in segmentation of overseas versions.For example, the "universal segment for 1-3 years old" is common in Japanese milk powder, which conflicts with national standards, and cross-border e-commerce discussions have increased by 37%.
3.Special formula milk powder segmentation.Hydrolyzed protein milk powder for lactose intolerance needs to follow medical advice and not be selected according to the conventional number.
