2. Mixing Your Own Baby Formula Recipe All parents should be concerned with what substances are entering their child’s body. With formula, you know that the baby is getting the nutrition that it needs, but store bought formula can be expensive and make parents wary as to where it comes from. The FDA holds up standards for all commercial formula mixes, so all of the different brands are pretty much the same. But if you want to save money and know exactly what is entering your child’s system, you can mix your own baby formula recipe.

3. Which Baby Formula Recipe Is Right For You? It all depends on the ingredients that you have around or what you want to focus on giving your baby. There is a milk based baby formula recipe, a liver based baby formula recipe, and a fortified commercial baby formula recipe. Make a baby formula sample in order to see how well these recipes work.
