Baby formula a centerpiece? Let’s add this suggestion.
You know, here’s my conspiracy theory about baby formula. Just another corporate manipulation to support MAGA crazy minority base. If breastfeeding is only “option” for nourishing a baby that Republicans “insist” and legislate be born, then that puts women right where they want them. At home, out of the corporate work force, and labeled with the the only moniker that they slyly approve of. Female human cow with teats.
May I point out what women from past gens did to make formula before Similac was even a reality on shelves?
Carnation evaporated milk, Karo syrup, water. And plenty of humans thrived.
Honestly, one thing that the MAGA party will never be able to do? Outfox women’s intuition, integrity, resourcefulness, and problem solving abilities.
I believe that is what, in today’s minority crisis, will lead the way. Whether it’s feeding our children or freedom.
I’ve been waiting for one of you to bring up what we used for our twins in the early Sixties: Carnation evaporated milk and Karo syrup. They thrived! Why isn’t that being suggested now? Maybe if it were reintroduced to the public, Nestle’s and the other formula companies could get their comeuppance.
Carnation Evaporated Milk is a Nestle product. And why is there need to add a sweetener be it Karo syrup or another sweetening product. Seems to me that just sets up a baby with a "sweet tooth" before teeth even erupt.
This is an interesting article about evaporated (condensed) milk.
This article is very interesting and reveals when & why sweeteners were added to cow's milk. Read on to the section on the invention of Evaporated Milk.
"Thomas Morgan Rotch of Harvard Medical School developed what came to be known as the "percentage method" of infant formula feeding, which was popular among medical professionals from 1890 to 1915. He taught that because cow's milk contains more casein than human milk, it must be diluted to lower the percentage of casein. The process of dilution, however, decreases the sugar and fat content to less than that of human milk. To correct these deficiencies, cream and sugar were added in precise amounts." https://www.contemporarypediatrics.com/view/concise-history-infant-formula-twists-and-turns-included

Nestle, at one point in the 80’s I believe, acquired Carnation and its products. Then sold back to original family in 2000’s, I think.

It was probably Pet Evaporated Milk and as a new mom at 22 I followed the directions of our pediatrician. They thrived and, bonus, we could afford it.
Aaargh, except Karo is a corn-based sweetener with negative nutrition value. Other than that, you are so right.
Yes. There are other sweeteners now like agave and others that might work.
I still have the formula mom used:
11 oz Pet Evaporated Milk
18 oz water
1.5 Level Tablespoons #1 Dextri-Maltose
Brava, Christine! I can vision the right wing sharia cabal salivating over such a possibility!

I remember my oldest sister making this kind of formula for her children. They turned out just fine.
Carnation is a Nestle product.
Ugh
