How to Make Baby Formula
How to make baby formula
Here is an amazing clean recipe on how to make baby formula! My third child was feed this exclusively for months and thrived!
We are all on a food journey and just trying to make the best decisions we can for our kids. Two of my three kids have experienced both breastfeeding and formula. Both of which have their own pros and cons.
When it’s time for formula this coconut milk baby formula is an amazing option!
This last year my third child was born and when it came time to transition out of breatfeeding I struggled with which formula to choose. My main struggle cam ebcause of the research I was doing into the details of foods and preservatives. (Research not reccommended unless your willing to change everything you know about food…lol)
Facing a struggle of no longer feeling personally comfotable with baby formula I hoped to find a clean preservative free alternative. A friend of mine, whos husband is a doctor, shared with me how to make baby formula.
After a bit more research into ingredients and the recipe I was excited to give it a try! My son loved it and after a blood test our doctor determined that he was thriving on the homemade baby formula!

Hi. I am considering using this recipe for my baby who seems to be allergic to dairy. Has anyone you know ever successfully swapped the butter with coconut oil for a completely casein free formula? Thanks in advance for any info on this!
What about using Ghee? It would incorporate fat but there is no lactose remaining in the “butter”. Coconut oil would work well too!
This is a great blog.
