Apr 2022

after my mom got the flu when I was 5 months old and was told to stop nursing me. I was a Carnation baby and I did fine. Next brother, when he was weaned after he bit her, proved to be allergic to cow's milk so he got a goat's milk formula. Youngest was another Carnation baby. I distinctly remember Mom mixing formula and making bottles for him.

Infant formula is a very recent development. 1960s or therabouts.
