MILK-BASED FORMULA From Weston Price Foundation

Makes 36 ounces



Our milk-based formula takes account of the fact that human milk is richer
in whey,lactose, vitamin C, niacin, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty
acids comparedto cow's milk but leaner in casein (milk protein). Use only
truly expeller-expressedoils in the formula recipes, otherwise they may lack
vitamin E.



The ideal milk for baby, if he cannot be breastfed, is clean, whole raw milk
fromgoats. If goats are not available, them milk from cows certified free of
disease,that feed on green pasture would be a second best choice. For
sources of good qualitymilk, see www.realmilk.comor contact a local chapter
of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

Hi All,



Cross posting for more information if possible.



One of my moms posted an article that states the recipe below is a good
homemade formula.  Comments please!   This comes from the mercola website.

If the only choice available to you is commercial milk, choose whole milk,
preferably organic and un-homogenized, and culture it with a piima or Kefir
Culture to restore enzymes.



2 cups whole milk, raw (non-pasteurized) milk from pasture-fed cows

1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (See recipe for whey)

4 tablespoons lactose (available from The Apothecary 301-530-1112)

1 teaspoon bifidobacterium infantis

2 Kiddie Krill

1 teaspoon expeller-expressed sunflower oil

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons coconut oil

2 teaspoons Frontier brand nutritional yeast flakes

2 teaspoons gelatin

1 7/8 cups filtered water

1/4 teaspoon acerola powder



Add gelatin to water and heat gently until gelatin is dissolved. Place all
ingredientsin a very clean glass or stainless steel container and mix well.
To serve, pour6 to 8 ounces into a very clean glass bottle, attach nipple
and set in a pan ofsimmering water. Heat until warm but not hot to the
touch, shake bottle well andfeed baby. (Never, never heat formula in a
microwave oven!) Note: If you are usingthe Lact-Aid, mix all ingredients
well in a blender.)



Variation: Goat Milk Formula



Although goat milk is rich in fat, it must be used with caution in infant
feedingas it lacks folic acid and is low in vitamin B12, both of which are
essential tothe growth and development of the infant. Inclusion of
nutritional yeast to providefolic acid is essential. To compensate for low
levels of vitamin B12, add 2 teaspoonsfrozen organic raw chicken liver,
finely grated to the batch of formula. Be sureto begin egg-yolk feeding at
four months.
