Okay, I'm going to try for the prize for YOUNGEST subscriber to have been
fed milk and corn syrup.  I was born in 1966.  

We were farmers, and my recipe was made from the milk (unpastuerized) from
our farm.  My dad said "canned milk was expensive - why would we buy milk
from town when we have good cows on our farm?".  

When I told this to Jack Newman, he told me I would have gotten a lot of
antibodies.... to cow diseases!!!

I was told that my mom tried to nurse my oldest sister (1960) but the doctor
told her that her milk was "too thin and blue" (foremilk, obviously).

My baby book has the milk/corn syrup/water recipe, and my crib card was
sponsored by "Farmer's Wife Baby Formula" (how ironic, we were farmers!)

Considering my mom passed away before I married and had kids (breast cancer,
she never breastfed any of the three of us) and my prominent role in
breastfeeding advocacy now, I find it so ironic (destiny perhaps) that she
saved these items for my thin baby book (3rd child - I was lucky to have any
baby book!)  Otherwise I really would know nothing about how I was fed.

(who actually knows a family in town here, who raised their now age 10 and
12-year-old children on the milk/corn syrup recipe, because they were low
income and couldn't afford formula and thought that this was a completely
acceptable alternative)
