In case any of you ever need it, or care, this is the concoction I figured out to get her to take a little formula. If she drinks the whole amount in two days, she's getting the eqivalent of one 8-oz. bottle of formula a day. The effects of 1 1/2 strength formula are balanced out by the effects of consuming bananas and molasses. Remember to wash your bananas before peeling, all kinds of things live on them. I think this is absolutely gross, but then, I'm not a baby. She likes it so much, I'll probably keep giving them to her till she's two, just switch to toddler formula, if she still needs extra nutrition. Makes about 4 6-oz. sippy-cups full (about 3 cups).

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 8 scoops Similac Advance infant formula powder (or enough to mix with 16 oz. of water of whatever formula you prefer; read the label)
  • 3 fresh bananas
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. blackstrap molasses

Directions

  1. Place water and formula powder in a blender, cover, and blend until completely mixed.
  2. Add bananas, broken into chunks, one at a time. Blend after each one to thoroughly liquefy.
  3. Add molasses (more if bananas aren't very ripe, less if they are very ripe) and blend once more.
  4. Serve cold. Refrigerate left-overs for up to 48 hours, then discard.
