Raw Baby Milk Formula
Yield 36 ounces
Recipe by: Sally Fallon, WAPF
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole raw cow's milk, preferably from pasture-fed cows
- 1/4 cup homemade liquid whey - see recipe below. Note: Do NOT use powdered whey or whey from making cheese. This will cause the formula to curdle. Only use homemade whey made from yogurt, kefir or separated raw milk.
- 4 tablespoons lactose
- 1/4 teaspoon bifidobacterium infantis
- 2 or more tablespoons of raw cream, more if you are using milk from Holstein cows
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored high-vitamin or high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil or 1 teaspoon regular cod liver oil
- 1 teaspoon organic expeller-expressed sunflower oil
- 2 teaspoons organic extra virgin, cold pressed coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon organic extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 teaspoons grassfed beef gelatin
- 1-7/8 cups filtered water
- 1/4 teaspoon acerola powder
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups filtered water into a pyrex measuring pitcher and remove 2 tablespoons. This will give you the needed 1-7/8 cups of water.
- Pour about half of the water into a pan and place over a medium flame.
- Add the gelatin, lactose and coconut oil to the pan and let dissolve, stirring occasionally.
- When the gelatin, lactose and coconut oil are dissolved, remove from heat and add the remaining water to cool the mixture.
- Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients into a blender - no particular order is necessary.
- Add the water mixture and blend for about ten seconds or until throughly combined.
- Place in glass bottles or a glass jar and refrigerate.
- Before giving to baby, warm bottles by placing in hot water or a bottle warmer. NEVER warm bottles in a microwave oven.
- A batch of homemade formula will last for about 3-4 days in the fridge.
Notes

- You can order the entire kit through Radiant Life Company, with exception of the milk, cream and whey.
- Helpful Hints:
- When I buy raw cream, I measure out 2 tablespoons, pour it into individual baby food containers and freeze. This will allow the cream to last much longer, and you will only need to pull out a prepared frozen serving on the days a new batch of formula is made. Plus, this will save you money and ensure that the cream doesn't expire before you have the chance to use it all!
- You can freeze this formula for up to 6 months. Simply thaw it out in the refrigerator and heat up in a bottle warmer on the stove top. Once defrosted, the formula will be a chunky consistency. However, do not worry. This is due to the cream and oils binding together during the freezing process. Once heated, it will return to its smooth texture.
- This travel insulated carrier is great for keeping the bottles cool when on the go.
- When switching an infant or toddler to this formula, there may be a change in stool patterns and consistency. This is simply a sign that their little bodies are adjusting to the nutrients and ridding the body of any toxins.
