Guest guest Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 MILK-BASED FORMULA From Weston Price Foundation Makes 36 ounces Our milk-based formula takes account of the fact that human milk is richer in whey,lactose, vitamin C, niacin, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids comparedto cow’s milk but leaner in casein (milk protein). Use only truly expeller-expressedoils in the formula recipes, otherwise they may lack vitamin E. The ideal milk for baby, if he cannot be breastfed, is clean, whole raw milk fromgoats. If goats are not available, them milk from cows certified free of disease,that feed on green pasture would be a second best choice. For sources of good qualitymilk, see www.realmilk.comor contact a local chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Hi All, Cross posting for more information if possible. One of my moms posted an article that states the recipe below is a good homemade formula. Comments please! This comes from the mercola website… Warmly Jaye If the only choice available to you is commercial milk, choose whole milk, preferably organic and un-homogenized, and culture it with a piima or Kefir Culture to restore enzymes. 2 cups whole milk, raw (non-pasteurized) milk from pasture-fed cows 1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (See recipe for whey) 4 tablespoons lactose (available from The Apothecary ) 1 teaspoon bifidobacterium infantis 2 Kiddie Krill 1 teaspoon expeller-expressed sunflower oil 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons coconut oil 2 teaspoons Frontier brand nutritional yeast flakes 2 teaspoons gelatin 1 7/8 cups filtered water 1/4 teaspoon acerola powder Add gelatin to water and heat gently until gelatin is dissolved. Place all ingredientsin a very clean glass or stainless steel container and mix well. To serve, pour6 to 8 ounces into a very clean glass bottle, attach nipple and set in a pan ofsimmering water. Heat until warm but not hot to the touch, shake bottle well andfeed baby. (Never, never heat formula in a microwave oven!) Note: If you are usingthe Lact-Aid, mix all ingredients well in a blender.) Variation: Goat Milk Formula Although goat milk is rich in fat, it must be used with caution in infant feedingas it lacks folic acid and is low in vitamin B12, both of which are essential tothe growth and development of the infant. Inclusion of nutritional yeast to providefolic acid is essential. To compensate for low levels of vitamin B12, add 2 teaspoonsfrozen organic raw chicken liver, finely grated to the batch of formula. Be sureto begin egg-yolk feeding at four months.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have a client using it right now. She suffered from D-MER and breastfed full time for about 3-4 months and is partially bf and using the goat-milk based formula. It was approved by her family doctor.I don't know what I would do if I couldn't breastfeed or get donor milk but it is quite scary and a lot of work.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Raw milk should never be given to an infant due to the potential for infection.
