To all the other current crises in the U.S., there is a monstrous shortage of infant nutrition, and the situation has all the hallmarks of a speculative conspiracy. Parents literally have nothing to feed their babies, and even on the Internet for a lot of money can not buy the right mixes. As a consequence, social networks are filled with recipes for preparing their analogs at home, but doctors warn that this is an extremely risky venture.
American women have stopped breastfeeding their babies since about the 1960s. First, they do not have a full maternity leave, and a working mother cannot take her infant with her. Secondly, the active promotion of infant formula on the market, the literal planting of this type of nutrition played its role. Thirdly, the growth of allergies in new generations, because of which infants were prescribed strictly calibrated compositions of nutrition.
As children grow older, they can be started on cow’s or goat’s milk, plus complementary foods, but what about infants? At best, decant breast milk into bottles and stockpile it, and some moms have even built a business on it – selling surplus of their own natural product. But most American women are already in the third generation accustomed to feeding their children with formula from the store, so now they are actively mastering home recipes for their preparation. For example, some authors suggest mixing condensed milk with corn syrup and dilute with water to the required consistency.
