Essential Dad and Parent Skills 2-4: How to make Barley Formula Part 1 WARNING: POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL PARENTING SUBJECT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND OUR CIRCUMSTANCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BREASTFEED WILL HOPEFULLY NOT BE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS IS A “WORST CASE SCENARIO” The best nourishment for a newborn baby is of course breastmilk from mom. At least for the first 3-6 months depending on what your pediatrician tells you. So maybe you only needs this information for after your baby hits 6 months which WOULD BE AWESOME. That wasn’t the case for us however. What do you do if there is no breastmilk? What do you do if mom is too tired to feed baby and there is no stored breastmilk in the fridge? What do you do if mom can’t breastfeed at all? Don’t panic. The first thing is talk to your pediatrician, MD or gynecologist. But if they recommend an alternate food supply, you want to be ready. The usual powders and stuff, are pretty fattening. Your baby needs protein. This is sort of a folk-remedy baby food in many parts of the world including where our pediatrician was from (Merida, Yucatan) and it is loaded with protein. Our daughter is growing beautifully on it as well as all of our friends kids. So I recommend it. But as always, every baby is unique, so other than mom’s breastmilk, check with the pediatrician first to make sure it is right for YOUR baby.
