I was given the Carnation Milk/ Kayro Syrup homemade formula in 1959 and I
turned out fine. My husband also had that samething and he turned out just fine.
Here is an article I found.
[edit] Evaporated milk formulas
In the 1920s and 1930s, evaporated milk began to be widely commercially
available at low prices, and several clinical studies suggested that babies fed
evaporated milk formula thrive as well as breastfed babies[4][15] (these
findings are not supported by modern research.) These studies, accompanied by
the affordable price of evaporated milk and the availability of the home icebox
initiated a tremendous rise in the use of evaporated milk formulas.[13] By the
late 1930s, the use of evaporated milk formulas in the United States surpassed
all commercial formulas, and by 1950 over half of all babies in the United
States were reared on such formulas.[4]
The problem I have with consulting the Pediatrician is that they keep changing
the opfficial recommendation every few years. At one time( my youngest brother)
they recommended feeding babies baby cereal at 6 weeks old. When my oldest son
was born they recommended forumula and not necessarily any food untill one year.
A few years later the recommendation was no food untill 6 months old. Then it
was no food untill 4 months old. Guess What? The babies that had Evaporated milk
formulas turned out ok, the commercial formula babies turned out ok, the babies
that ate cereal at 6 weeks turned out OK & the ones that ate at 4 months turrned
out OK. I no longer see the Dr as the high and mightly infallible expert.

I would definitely have a discussion with your pediatrician before
switching to a homemade formula. Today’s formulas are as about as close to the
real thing as you can get — you’ll have a hard time replicating everything
that’s in them.
