LETTER: Letter on baby formula was very timely

How very, very timely was the May 24 letter from Susan Ware about a substitute infant formula. Only one day earlier, I began “prescribing” for my own infant patients the “homemade” infant formula that she advocates in her letter. The formula she mentions — evaporated milk, water and sweetener — was the “standard” for decades, and infants generations ago were raised in good health on it.

For parents faced with the current shortage of prepared formula, I am suggesting they use of the old-fashioned but very adequate and nourishing infant formula.
