I remember a family member in 1966, before commercial formula, making her own. Evaporated milk (or perhaps powdered milk) and Karo syrup.
~~~~~~~~
many of us on this thread thrived on home-made baby formula;
now watch Karo and evap milk disappear,..
I like evaporated milk in my coffee better than cream.
But if I have to give up my evaporated milk for the babies, so be it.
I can get soy creamer, though I have to go to Fresh Thyme for it.
But you are right. There will either be a run on evaporated milk to replace formula and/or mysterious fires at evaporated milk plants.
