Methods: Cross-sectional study in Sawangan Subdistrict, Depok City on 225 pregnant women selected by total sampling. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using chi-squared to assess the influence between the independent variable and the dependent variable, and independent t-test to compare the nutritional intake of the group who consumed commercial milk formula-pregnant with those who did not. Results: The habit of consuming commercial milk formula-pregnant was significantly associated with energy, fat and protein deficiencies (p≤0.05). Macronutrient intakes were higher among mothers consuming commercial milk formula-pregnant than among nonconsumers, with average macronutrient intakes from prenatal beverages being in accordance with the nutrient requirements and RDAs listed in nutrition facts on the product label.
