I really wouldn’t know for sure but my best guesses are that the molecules of the baby formula are hydrated. This means that water molecules are chemically added to the formula which usually increases how it can dissolve in water. Either that or protein powder might just have physically larger granules than baby formula, which would require more vigorous shaking to dissolve. Again, these are just best guesses
