Wednesday:
Today, we made baby formula. It's pretty time consuming and a hassle, but we feel it's best for Annabelle, especially considering all the allergies and intolerances we went through with Liam. I wish we would have known about it then. One batch of formula contains the following:
1 3/4 cups spring water
4 tbsp lactose
2 tsp gelatin
2 cups raw milk
1/4 cup whey
2 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp cod liver oil
1/4 tsp acerola powder
1/4 tsp live bacteria
1 tbsp heavy cream
We usually make big batches and blend them together and freeze them in glass mason jars. Everything has to be sterilized before use, and one day of formula making has to last us about 2 week till the next milk drop.
She loves it, and most importantly, tolerates it very well. Oh the things you do for your kids!
