	<description>For the love of cheese. And bacon. And butter. And raw milk. And all those other things we&#039;re not supposed to eat.</description>

		<description>Hi! I have a question about the recipe.  I originally printed it from the Weston Price Foundation...I am noticing now that there are a few ingredients where the quantities differ from the recipe in the Nourishing Traditions book.

The website says 1 tsp each of bifidobacterium infantis, cod liver oil, and acerola powder.  The book says 1/4 tsp of bifidobacterium infantis, 1/2 tsp cod liver oil, and 1/4 tsp acerola powder...

Which is right?</description>

		<description>Hi! I have been making this formula for about a month now.  The first couple of times, I did it in the blender and removed the frothy part on top.  Then, my mom told me that was the cream (whipped from the blender).  Now, I blend everything and then add the cream and stir.  It does not develop a frothy layer on top if you keep the cream out :) I figure my baby needs all the fat she can get!!</description>

		<description>After only reading a few comments on this page I felt I wanted to make a comment.  I am a food scientist and have a lot of experience formulating &quot;certified organic&quot; food products.  I worked in the organic area for many years and an very pro organic and pro feeding your baby toxin/chemical free products from the time they come into this world so my intention is not to trash this recipe, but ensure people are informed when making it.  

 I wanted to correct a comment made by a previous person.  Maltodextrin is NOT MSG.  Maltodextrin is a starch and actually can be found in lots of organic foods.  It is used as a flow agent, anticaking agent and for other purposes.  

I also wanted to comment on feeding your child raw milk.  This is a huge safety risk.  Pasteruization is done under specific conditions (specific heat and held for a specific amount of time). Without this treatment there are very dangerous bacteria, such as salmonella, e. coli, etc. that can harm an infant.  An infant&#039;s immune system is not developed enough to fight off these bacteria.  Even in perfectly healthy adults raw milk can pose such a health risk that it is illegal in most developed countries for farmers to sell raw milk to anyone besides an actual milk processor, who can process and test the milk to be sure it is safe for human consumption. When dealing with raw milk we are dealing with bacteria and viruses, not toxins.  If you want to be sure not to give your baby toxins then that is what organic milk (not raw organic milk) is for.  This milk has been pasteruized properly when purchased from a reputable supplier and not harmful to your child.</description>

		<description>Hi!  I have just started making my formula using the WAP recipe and I saw a previous poster asked about the cost and how long the ingredients last.  I too had wondered the same thing so my husband and I spent a great deal of time one night crunching numbers and seeing for ourselves.  The cost will vary depending on the price of your raw milk, cream and yogurt (for the whey) but it is cheaper than Similac Organic!  I have since found better sources for some of the ingredients at better prices but based on what I found that day, for the WAP formula, it cost $3.10 for 36 ounces.  The cost of Similac Organic was $5.04 for 36 ounces.  The milk I get is $6 a gallon, the cream, $10 a quart and yogurt is $3.50.  Also, each of the ingredients will last for various amounts of time, for example, we figured out that a bag of lactose will last for 9 1/2 batches but a container of the probiotic will last for 140 batches, a jar of cod liver oil, 118 batches and so on.  Anyhow, it  IS cheaper for a much better, healthier product!!  I hope this helps!</description>
