>Is baby formula becoming hard to find?
I grew up in an age where it was nothing to put sweet tea in a baby's bottle. That era produced some tough folks.
>Is baby formula becoming hard to find?
Anon used to work hurricane relief from time to time. Literally, little babies who've gone hours and hours with nothing because mama did not know that babies could be given other sustenance other than formula.
Seriously shocked the tar out of anon. Kid was screaming his head off.

Homemade Emergency Baby Formula Recipe
-
Evaporated Milk Baby Formula Substitute
This recipe is for traditional emergency formula (just like Grandma used to make). One standard-sized 13-ounce can of evaporated milk can make a full quart of emergency formula. The process is simple, fast, and—best of all—does not compromise your child's health.
As Dr. Andrew J. Schuman writes in his article, "A Concise History of Infant Formula," this is the exact recipe that was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s for infants who were not breastfed. Please remember, though, that this homemade formula is not a long-term solution since it lacks the necessary vitamins. Parents in the 50s and 60s gave their infants supplemental vitamins and iron along with this formula, as noted by Dr. Schuman.

A concise history of infant formula (twists and turns included)
February 1, 2003
Finding an acceptable alternative to breast milk has proved to be a complicated quest that continues today.
If you are a "mature" pediatrician—one older than 40 years or so—there is a good chance that, if you were not breastfed as an infant, you were fed a formula created by mixing 13 oz of evaporated milk with 19 oz of water and two tablespoons of either corn syrup or table sugar. Every day, parents prepared a day's worth of this formula, transferred it to bottles that they had sterilized in a pan of boiling water, and stored it in a refrigerator until used. In addition to formula, infants received supplemental vitamins and iron.
