Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am not advocating the use of this I am just passing it along. I got it on another list I am on and I thought maybe it could be useful.

Then pour the formula into bottles for your baby. 1 week to 3 months ½ tsp. blackstrap molasses (unsulfured) Contents of 1 capsule folic acid (800 mcg.) Contents of 1 capsule vitamin E (100 I.U. capsules, mixed tocopherols) 1/16 tsp. vitamin C (powdered ascorbate 2000 mg.) Add to first and last bottle daily after bottle is warmed: Flaxseed oil-5 drops Cod liver oil-5 drops 3 months to 5 months Increase: Vitamin C to ¼ tsp.* Flaxseed oil to 10 drops Cod liver oil to 10 drops 5 months Add ½ oz. fresh carrot juice to each bottle (this prepares the baby's system for pureed food in the sixth month) 6 months to 12 months Twice a day add the following oils only after the bottle is warmed: Cod liver oil:-1 tsp. Flaxseed oil-1 tsp. Increase vitamin C to ½ tsp. and blackstrap molasses to 1 tsp. per gallon of milk. *NOTE: If baby' stool becomes runny, cut back on vitamin C. If stool is still runny, cut back on cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is one of the best natural sources of Vitamin D for your baby. Vitamin D is what helps the body absorb calcium. I use the mint-flavored cod liver oil because the mint helps aid digestion, too. Remember that this is an oil, and it needs to be stored in the refrigerator after it's opened. I use the Dale brand. It is excellent, an we haven't had any problems with it. The kids get used to it. Blackstrap molasses prevents iron deficiency. Watch to see if the baby gets a little bit of a red bottom or rash because it is too strong for him at this time. Some babies are ready for it at six months, and some aren't. So you look at what I call baby's " nutritional barometer " -his little bottom. If it is starting to turn red, then cut back on the blackstrap molasses. Watch the water. Newborn infants very rarely need any extra water as long as the mother is drinking plenty of water. The first 3 months of mother's milk should be the total supply of nutrition and food. As they get older and are more active, you can start infants on about an ounce of distilled water a day. You can give it to them by the spoonful, and they will drink it. Freeze the goat milk. If you can obtain a large supply of goat milk, you can freeze to for up to 6 months. If you a buying it by the gallon and freezing it, thaw it out a gallon at a time. One gallon of milk may last you a week, but remember it has nothing in it to keep it from spoiling. It is raw nutrition, so it isn't going to last as long as other milks from the store. If you are not going through it very quickly, do freeze your goat milk .. <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=60479/grpspId=1705060814/msgId=3 6898/stime=1162038483/nc1=4025338/nc2=3848643/nc3=3848528> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
