Actually 'formula' developed early in 20th century. It was called formula because it really was a concoction of evaporated milk, water, karo. Really a 'recipe' but 'formula' was scientific - Drs didn't give out recipes :-b By mid century canned mixes were available so mom didn't have to concoct the formula. I do remember mixing evap milk, water and karo for my first. (I'm old, LOL) Pat in SNJ
