[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]

99.9% of this country struggles with weight issues.  Hence the gazillions of diet fads and eating disorder clinics, exercise gadgets, weight loss supplements, etc.  The too fat and the too skinnies in the the country could probably tell you breast milk, commercial formula, homemade formula, any combo of the the three, doesn't matter.
