if I went back, I'd make sure mom eats lots of red meat to produce lots of real human milk, instead of feeding him industrial white waste, and keep him 24/7 physically attached to either parent so he gets his movements and his body heat.

We are breastfeeding but she can suck for 30+ min on each side, then be hungry shortly after.
It never satisfies her as much as formula.
Hate that we’re using it at all, but we need to get through this early stage and our daughter just can’t rest until full
This is translated by chatgpt, but this one and others should be published by the Weston Price foundation.
Ingredients:
500 ml of raw, non-homogenized cow's milk
60 ml of homemade whey (see recipe below)
4 tablespoons of lactose
1/4 teaspoon of Bifidobacterium infantis
2 or more tablespoons of fresh cream
1/2 teaspoon of fermented cod liver oil (high in vitamins), or 1 teaspoon of regular cod liver oil
1 teaspoon of cold-pressed sunflower oil
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of coconut oil
2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast flakes
2 teaspoons of gelatin
460 ml of filtered water
1/4 teaspoon of acerola powder
Whey Recipe:
Place high-quality whole yogurt or kefir in a cheesecloth and hang it over a bowl to drain. Leave it at room temperature overnight.
Instructions:
Pour half of the water into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the gelatin and lactose, stirring until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and add the remaining water to cool the mixture.
Add the coconut oil and stir until melted.
Place all other ingredients in a food processor, then add the water-gelatin mixture and blend for about 3 seconds.
Transfer the mixture into glass bottles and store in the refrigerator.
Warm the milk using a double boiler and never in the microwave.
While I’m sure this is a natural approach and well thought out, I’m afraid I don’t have immediate access to all those ingredients, and extremely overwhelmed to go looking for them as it’s just us.
But I appreciate this and will look into doing it for the next child!
