Formula is harmful and absolutely not recommended for babies under six months. For babies over six months, it's a low-nutrition, high-sugar food that's not recommended even during the transition to solids.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and general pediatric consensus point out that babies don't need any sweetener during their first year. Getting babies used to sweetness can lead them to reject less sweet foods like vegetables.
In short: formula isn't healthy for babies at any age; just like honey, sugar, or molasses, sweeteners should be limited during the introduction of solids.
