Take a half pound of barley and loosely tie it up in a cotton cloth that is porous. It has to be loosely woven cotton, like old-style diapers. Loosely tie the barley in it (the barley will expand) and put it in a pot with about 6 liters of water. Boil it for 6 - 7 hours. Pour the barley water off. Throw away the barley. There should be about 4 liters of water left after boiling (a slow covered boil) If you do it right the water should be bright pink. Mix that with three liters of milk and add a pound of sugar to the final 7 liter mix. If it comes out to 6 liters still add a pound of sugar, it will not be too much. The actual good limit is 27 ounces of sugar added to 7 liters. It is supposed to be sweet. The baby needs sugar for energy. Make sure you are not a snowflake and USE SUGAR, NOT A SUBSTITUTE. Corn syrup is also permissible in the same amount but nothing else*. I'd add a couple grams of salt (just the tip of a teaspoon) to the final mix of about 7 liters and no more, it should not taste like it has salt. It should taste like it has NO SALT. Freeze what you are not going to use right away. You'll have a happy healthy baby, that recipe totally destroys commercial formula. I can back this up with hard data. That is THE RECIPE. If anyone posts a recipe more complicated or quicker or easier or more "nutritious" than that, it is a load of crap. That is the old Roman recipe that has been around for 2,000 years and it produces great results. I know this because the family used that recipe when a mother could not produce milk, it is all the kid had and the (not vaxxed) kid is sharp as a whip.
*see Litecola2's point on glyphosate in corn syrup
I'll vouch for the value of barley but draw the line at corn syrup, because you can find non-GMO and organic sugar but not clean corn syrup - and under no circumstances should a baby be exposed to glyphosate.
Yeah, I'm not crazy about the corn syrup either. The reason the corn syrup is in most recipes is that evaporated milk can cause constipation in babies- heck it can cause it in adults and the corn syrup keeps that from happening. Honey could be used for older babies but can cause botulism in infants. It would also be used to keep digestion flowing.
13 oz evaporated milk
20 oz water
2 level TBSP Karo syruo
Heat and then pour into 4 6oz bottles. Of course, the recipe can be doubled or tripled.
When searching people were acting like this was horrible. My dad was raised on this in the 1930's, I was in 1958, my younger brothers were as were millions of babies. None of us have grown 2 heads. T
his formula is sure as hell better than what people buy in the stores with the unpronounceable ingred. Plus some baby formulas, like Similac, are made by Big Pharma.
Another good thing is that evaporated milk is very stable when stored even for long periods.
The American Academy of Pediatricians says never to feed homemade formulas to babies, so you know that means it's probably the healthiest thing to feed babies besides breast milk - unless the mother has been vaxxed.
You probably could as maple syrup or pancake syrup are given as alternatives to Karo syrup. My nurse friend told me that they gave babies in the nursery a little sugar water if they were colicky and the Karo was used as a constipation preventative.
There's always a dumbass who thinks our dietary choices as an adult should be pushed on to kids.
I would not give, say, erythritol or stevia to a child just because I use them.
I didn't gain weight until I was put on Prozac.
I ate a lot of candy as a child and remained very fit.
It sounds like a lot of sugar..but there are good reasons for that in a developing body, and most body builders can vouch that carbs help build their body.
I thought this may have been a joke post, so I looked it up and by jove, it really does exist, evidently coming from scientology. Would love to know more about the actual nutrition of the barley water and other people's experience with it. Also, I wonder why homogenized milk? In my understanding, homogenization compresses the fat in the cream into much smaller particles which are not as healthy as the original form.
Barley is more nutritious than wheat, I discovered, when I researched survival crops. Not sure about homogenisation of milk fat, OP's formula has a variety of fats like coconut oil which would emulsify.
Yeah, wheat grown in USA (maybe other countries) isn’t good. Unless it’s truly organic it’s contaminated with Round Up. We have been brainwashed into whole wheat bread and crackers are better. IDK know until recently.
This video gives good info. He has very helpful information, I ignore the promotional products he mentions.
Wow. One or two pounds of sugar? I can't actually comment as I know very little about the infant diet, but that should have that baby up and walking right home from the hospital.
🤣 I tried breast milk & my babies formula. I’m curious also but I wanted to know if it tasted good if I was giving to her. I just wish 30 years ago I knew more about safe foods & natural plant medicine.
I love it! Everyone is weirded out that I've tried it hahaha but I don't understand how you COULDN'T try it. I had to know what I was giving her. What was the formula like? Yeah, we are trying to learn as much as we can about herbalism and good organic non GMO food.

Can it just be natural sugar instead of corn syrup? Can find organic sugar, nothing corn is organic anymore

Uh oh, evaporated milk causes constipation? I know prepping fams who are sticking up on that more than dry milk, better mention that!
Tell them to buy honey. 1 TBSP in a glass of hot water will fix constipation.
You said make sure you're not a snowflake and use sugar oh I'm howling that was so funny

I'm breastfeeding now and can confirm actual breast milk is quite sweet - a bit like whipped cream. (I am a very curious person, I had to know...)
🤣 I tried breast milk & my babies formula. I’m curious also but I wanted to know if it tasted good if I was giving to her. I just wish 30 years ago I knew more about safe foods & natural plant medicine.
