Homemade Baby Formula's

Many mothers during the 1950's made their own formula recipes and if they were not using formula these babies were breastfed.

There was even reports on how many women used juice to feed their newborn babies at the time and this was not a good idea.

At the time parents thought it was good to do that and what is shocking to learn about was how dads were not allowed to attend their children's birth.

How fathers were also not allowed to be around when women were nursing, which is a silly concept.

During the 50's doctors recommended that parents keep their babies on a strict schedule.

This is good advice that many people give out to new mother's and fathers.

Babies often drank evaporated milk mixed with water and corn syrup instead of formula along with tea, vitamins at 10 days, and diluted orange juice at three weeks.

Back in the 1950's, babies who were fed formula often got juice because of its Vitamin C, which prevented scurvy.

Many of these newborn babies had almost every liquid that people drink today just to fill up their bellies.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.
