Are there approved recipes for homemade infant formulas?

A - United States of America Food and Drug Administration regulates commercially available infant formulas, which are marketed in liquid and powder forms, but does not regulate recipes for homemade formulas. Great care must be given to the decision to make infant formulas at home, and safety should be of prime concern. The potential problems associated with errors in selecting and combining the ingredients for the formula are very serious and range from severe nutritional imbalances to unsafe products that can harm infants. Because of these potentially very serious health concerns, United States of America Food and Drug Administration does not recommend that customers make infant formulas at home.
