publicity magazine
A major producer of packaging materials is publishing a magazine for publicity purposes and having it translated into English. One of the sections is on packages containing milk products for infants. The term I've encountered and cannot find is "latte liquido", which sounds strange but that's the way it is.
Here's some context:
Realizzata nel mese di giugno, l’indagine ha messo in evidenza la crescente sovrapposizione dell’acquisto di latte in polvere e latte liquido da parte delle mamme italiane indipendentemente dalla fascia d’età del bambino. Questo capita soprattutto nel Nord-Italia, mentre il Sud si conferma territorio quasi esclusivo del latte liquido, scelto oltre che per la sua praticità di consumo e funzionalità anche per la sua vicinanza al latte classico considerato più nutriente.
I'm thinking "baby formula" or merely "formula", but that's not always made from milk.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

liquid infant formula
Clearly this isn't normal cow's milk, but "infant formula":

Latte artificiale: liquido o in polvere
Il latte artificiale per neonati è prodotto sia liquido, cioè pronto all'uso, sia nella più consueta formulazione in polvere.
Infant formula comes in the traditional powdered form but also in liquid form, so you need to specify.
I think that if you say "liquid milk" in English people will think of ordinary cow's milk. I think that very few Italian mothers are giving their children reconstituted powdered cow's milk.

liquid milk
I think they just mean milk in liquid form, as opposed to dry milk
