Homemade baby formula is a very bad idea, and here’s why

True, American pediatricians categorically prohibit giving water to children under 6 months of age. You can not drink them diluted juice or tea, excess sugar from condensed milk is also harmful to them. The main message is that you will not be able to collect all the necessary vitamins and substances at home and at the same time avoid the risk of allergic reaction. And there’s also a huge risk of introducing bacteria into babies’ GI tracts, because the cooking conditions in the kitchen are not sterile. But in a tough economy, American moms have to take risks.
