[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]

Not just regular water is used, water is boiled and cooled to make this formula.  Bottles, nipples and caps are all sterilized. I would much rather make my baby his formula that by one that is made in China. 40% of baby formula is made in China.  Kids now a days have more problems with allergies, and weight and hypertension, and learning disorders.
