Global firms are boosting supplies of baby formula in the United States as that country grapples with a shortage.
Gerber-maker Nestle said it was flying additional shipments to the country from the Netherlands and Switzerland.
UK-based Reckitt Benckiser, which makes Enfamil and has factories in the US, has also said it has increased production by 30% this year.
The move comes as US officials warn that resolution of the shortage remains months away.
On Monday, Abbott Laboratories, the biggest US supplier of powder infant formula brands such as Similac, reached a deal with regulators on steps needed to restart production at a key Michigan factory.
Officials say it will take weeks for products to hit shelves after reopening.
The plant has been closed since February after bacteria was found in the facility, prompting recalls of several products.
