[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son projectile vomited the formula they sent home from the hospital with him, I think it was Enfamil.  I put him on the Dr. Spock advised carnation milk and karo syrup concoction and he did great.  My second kid too.

They are now all grown up and are quite healthy and have superior IQs.

I saw on the news yesterday that whatever you do you should not improvise making your own formula for your baby.  WTF?  A whole generation of babies had the Dr. Spock version.[/quote]

Infant feeding public health advice in the US has for a long time been driven by paternalistic propaganda, driven by two false beliefs: 1) aggregate gains on the population wide public health level matter more than individuals, for whom the advice makes little difference; 2) individuals cannot be trusted to make their own good decisions and therefore information has to be kept from them - all they get is the approved “messaging.” Anyone who has dug into the breastfeeding issue knows this.

In a reasonable world, parents would be able to get information about how to make safe formula at home, and how to safely transition to cow’s milk.
