NO NO NO
You can however feed the baby goat milk, it is in a can.
(if this is because you can't afford the formula, look into the WIC program.-don't make a big mistake to save money. There was a woman who could not afford formula and fed her child too much water and killed him.)

The recipe my Mom has written down in my baby book is: 1 can Carnation Evaporated milk, 1 can water and 2 T. Karo syrup. I was a child of the 1950's and this was the only "formula" I ever had!! I made this for 1 of my grand kids that couldn't tolerate milk or formula and he had NO problems on this.

This is what I was given as an infant based on my parents physician told them back in 1967. I grew up healthy, teeth were fine. I was thin growing up. However, I had an insatiable sweet tooth. I dealt with non-diabetic hypoglycemia as a kid and still do now as an adult. I have the hardest time losing weight (need to lose 100lbs). Trying to go carb free is sooooo difficult because of the low blood sugar issues. I have been diagnosed as having a metabolic syndrome issue which, in turn, lead to PCOS and other female issues that lead to a complete hysterectomy. I can t help but wonder if the Karo/milk formula set me up to where I m at today. I don t recommend it for anyone knowing now what regular intake of corn syrup does to the human body. Some children may be fine to this day but I don t think it s worth the risk.

I feed my children Carnation milk mixed with Karo Syrup because my children could not keep the different formulas down. My children are now 42 and 43 and have beautiful teeth and grew very healthy!!!

All 4 of my children were raised on Karo formula. When my last 2 were born they were put on formula in the hospital which made them sick so I made the hospital change them to Karo formula & they were just fine. With my last one I had to teach them how to make it. LOL But it is the best & if I had a child today I would STILL put them on it. They are ALL very healthy & have Great teeth , so all this bull people say is bull unless your child is allergic to milk. Thanks for listening. They are today 36- 45.

No. Carnation milk is formulated for baby cows, not baby humans. Your baby needs the extra nutrition and digestibility of formula.
Don't add Karo syrup to any milk. Milk is sweet on it's own and you'll be setting baby up for "bottle mouth" rotten teeth.
If formula is too expensive, try a powdered version.

Please listen to all the people who said NO! It could seriously harm your baby to give anything other than breast milk or formula milk made up in the way it is illustrated on the tin.
Babies have died from being given these kind of mixtures - I'm not trying to scare you - but please do not give carnation milk or karo syrup.

You don't say how old your baby is, but I sure wouldn't recommend it (especially without a pediatrician's approval) Cow'a milk isn't recommended until 1-year, and even then it's suggested that you speak to the pediatrician first.
Formula is easier to digest and is fortified with many vitamins and nutrients (DHA ; ARA ; Omega-3 ; Omega-6 etc.) that are idea for babies.
Take care

Don't experiment on your baby. The best solution would be to breast feed. If this is not possible or practical, you should use formula recommended by your doctor. If there is a problem paying for the formula, there are agencies such as WIC (Women, infants and Children) which will subsidize your formula purchases. Contact your local family service agency.

Absolutely not.
An infant's digestive system is not prepared to
digest such foods.
Consult WIC, which is a federally funded program
that helps provide infants, children and mothers with
infant formula, food and information about nutrition for
babies, children etc. Every state in U.S. has this program,
it is called the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.
Call your local social services agency like the foodstamp
office and they should be able to direct you.
