Don't eat packaged food. Definitely don't feed it to babies. They are not a pet fish.

  Utterly useless and completely ignorant advice for a mother with an infant who is unable to breast feed. Small babies can't eat 'foods' as we know them; they can only drink. It's a shame to see people who are so out of touch with nature and society that they don't even know how human reproduction works. My wife breast-fed all of our children until over 18 months, but I know several mothers who are simply unable to breast feed. It's such a common problem that there is a serious job title called 'lactation consultant'. In the good old days, if a mother was unable to feed, the infant either fed from another woman, or died; we're talking about 20% infant mortality from malnutrition. That is the problem that formula was invented to solve. And no, you can't make your own from available foods; if you do that, your baby will most likely die.

  Baby won't breast feed - what are you supposed to do? When you've been in the situation it's easier to understand.
