There are DIY infant formulas available from the pre-1960s. They weren’t perfect, but it wouldn’t take much to upgrade them, if the crunch lasts that long.

Got curious and did some google rabbit hole diving. Mostly shrieks from officialdom that homemade formula is horrible, and your kid will starve to death on it at best.

Then the one place I found with an actual formula for formula (evaporated milk, water & blackstrap molasses) is rather full of woo though she turns around and says it’s based on WHO guidelines and says you need an infant multivitamin separately.

But the FDA is massively against any homemade formula.
