Homemade whole food Baby Formula Recipe
There’s been recent news of baby formula being out of stock locally and nationwide. There’s a simple fix for this.
Shop-bought baby formula is often synthetic with loads of unnecessary additives. Here, you can find a recipe to help you make your own whole food baby formula at home.
It’s often challenging to find a baby formula that provides all the necessary nutrients for your baby, but without adding any unnecessary extras. Unfortunately, most baby formulas on the market include synthetic factory-made ingredients, so they may not be the best source of nutrition for your child.
Thankfully, it is possible to make your own formula at home, using whole foods and some simple ingredients. The full recipe is below, and we’ll explain why each of the ingredients is necessary for a healthy baby:
Homemade Baby Formula Recipe
½ tsp Calcifood Powder
½ tsp Cyrofood Powder
½ tsp Inositol Powder (Optional for some added sweetness)
8 oz Filtered spring water
Simply mix all of these ingredients together until you have a smooth drink with no lumps. Just like that, your baby formula is ready to drink.
Why Are These Ingredients Important?
Compare this ingredients list to one on the back of a shop-bought baby formula. You’ll see that there are so many more things added to ones in stores. We’ve chosen these ingredients because they specifically help your child develop.
Calcifood Powder: This is essential to give your child a source of calcium, and it comes from raw bone meal. As such, it supports the growth of bones, teeth, and other related tissue in your baby’s body.
Cyrofood Powder: Effectively, this is a multivitamin that gives your child all the key vitamins they need for a healthy immune system and body. It also comes with added fiber, which helps them stay fuller for longer.
Thymus PMG: A tablet that supports the healthy thymus function. The thymus gland is critical to immunity, autoimmunity, and aging. Its key role is to make white blood cells. By including this, we bolster your baby’s weak immune system to help prevent common diseases.
Inositol Powder: While this is optional for added sweetness, we do recommend it because it is one of the B vitamins. It can help support healthy cell membrane integrity, normal processing of fats, and normal cell membrane signaling.
As you can see, this is the perfect concoction to give a growing baby everything they need to remain healthy and strong. Calcium is obviously very crucial, but we’ve also tried to include natural ingredients to supplement some of the vitamins and nutrients you get from breast milk.
Try this formula today, and you can avoid costly and unhealthy baby formula from the store.
