Inventory Control Specialist

ByHeart is an infant nutrition company built from the ground up to deliver real innovation on behalf of babies and parents. Our mission is simple: make the best formula in the world. That’s why we studied the latest breast milk science, worked directly with suppliers we know and trust, set uncompromising quality standards, developed our own small batch blending process, built our own manufacturing facilities, and conducted a groundbreaking clinical trial. Our goal is to create a future where all parents feel amazing about feeding their baby—no matter how they do it.

When we launched our Whole Nutrition Infant Formula in 2023, we were the first new US infant formula manufacturer in 15 years. Since then, we’ve been leading the way in a lot of ways.

We’re…

The first and only US-made* infant formula made with organic, grass-fed whole milk, not skim.

The first and only U.S. infant formula company to add the two most abundant proteins found in breast milk—alpha-lac and lactoferrin—to our ingredients list.

The first infant formula company to receive Clean Label Project’s Purity Award (and we test for 700 contaminants vs the required 400).

We ran one of the largest clinical trials in the US in 25 years.

Our clinically proven benefits include:

• Less spit up**
• Softer poops**
• Easier digestion
• More efficient weight gain
• Made with globally sourced ingredients.
• Vs a leading infant formula
