13 OZ evaporated whole milk
19 OZ boiled water
2 TBSP corn syrup (or sugar)

This is what most of us boomers were raised on. It’s not for every baby but will do fine in an emergency. Not that long ago a friend’s baby could not tolerate the iron in regular formulas and her doctor recommended this, baby did great.
