We call it 'aidinmaidonkorvike' - breastmilk substitute, but ppl
simply and shortly use the word 'substitute' alone.

Some ppl still use the older term '-vastike', which gives the
impression it is equivalent to breastmilk, but it is even in the law
that the correct word to be used is '-korvike'.

When my grandmom talks about 'substitute', however, she talks about
coffee substitute ;) they used to have during and after the II WW.
