[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Many babies a few generations ago were fed an evaporated milk based "formula" prepared at home. The old versions of Dr. Spock's famous book gave a recipe for it. I think his recipe may have used Karo corn syrup. Formula is so darned expensive; I suppose some people may try to economize by using similar methods. Not saying I think this is a great idea, but also not judging people who do it. Evaporated milk, corn syrup, and something else. My grandmother raised six kids on it in the 1940s-1950s. Couldn't nurse any of her kids, commercial formula either not available or too expensive. Evaporated milk, corn syrup, and water. [/quote] I was raised on this, and so were my siblings. I don't recommend anyone making their own formula. We all struggle with weight issues....[/quote]
