It simply astonishes me that I, with abysmal technology skills, am able to find a temporary solution to a shortage of baby formula and those younger with better skills seem unable to do so.
Evaporated Milk Baby Formula Substitute
Supplies Needed
* Clean quart container
* 13 oz. can of evaporated whole milk (reduced fat, skim, and sweetened condensed milk will not provide enough calories or nutrition)
* 18–19 oz. of water
* 2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar or 1 tablespoon of light Karo syrup
Instructions
1. Combine the above ingredients into the quart container.
2. Stir until the sugar or light syrup is fully dissolved. The added sugar will help your child break down the proteins in the evaporated milk.
3. After serving your child, any remaining emergency formula should be refrigerated.
4. Any unused formula should be discarded after three days.
Dairy-Free Emergency Formula for Sensitive Stomachs
Supplies Needed
* 1 cup of cooked rice (can be any type of rice, but brown rice has more nutritional value)
* 4 cups of water
* 2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar
* Blender
Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients into the blender.
2. Blend until all ingredients are completely liquefied. It will take around 5 minutes for this process to be completed using a standard blender.
3. After serving your child, any unused portions should be refrigerated.
4. Discard all remaining formula after two days.
As an added note, one can make soy milk formula; however, it lacks the simplicity of the two recipes above.

Good job Auntie
Thank you.
To be a tad snarky, considering many of these
young mothers barely prepare food from scratch, the likelihood of their managing to prepare formula is slim.

I know my mom didn't have formula. She had 12 kids, nursed and supplemented with cream. I was 10th born but I remember her nursing my baby sister and smashing up vegis with a fork.

I use to purée vegetables and meats until ProgenyE was old enough to chew properly.

Amazing. All 12 of us were healthy kids, never had formula and the only time we saw a doctor was for school vaccinations or if we broke something. People were just more "learned" back then. Pretty much could do whatever it took to survive. I admire those that came before me.

I can't recall ever buying and baby formula when our kids were babies. My wife made it all besides breast feeding. I think she went by that same recipe or something similar. I do remember buying quite a lot of Karo syrup back then.

They have discovered Karo syrup can be adversely impact baby’s stomachs, hence the use of sugar.

It worked out OK for us. I don't remember how much of what she made it with, she may have used sugar too. A good burp after feeding solved everything.
