I remember my mom who had 12 babies making that formula. I was #5 and had to help with the younger ones. She breast feed the ones who were born at home, which was most of us. She was 48 when the last was born and I remember she breastfeed and made the bottles. The last 3 or 4 she couldn't produce enough milk to feed by breastmilk alone. Did not know it was an actual recipe. Always thought it was just something women came up with to help the poor producers.
