Homemade Baby Formula recipe
If prepared properly, this still ranks third. Breastfeeding ranks
first and commercial formulas second. Under certain circumstances, it
may be alright to use homemade formula, but consult your baby’s
pediatrician before introducing this to your infant.
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
32 ounces water
2 tablespoons Karo syrup
3ml Poly Vi Sol Vitamins
Mix thoroughly.
