In the 1950's, formulas like Similac and Enfamil were not yet widely available. Mothers would actually use a written formula to mix up the ingredients in the formula by hand. They would get a large bowl and combine Karo Syrup (corn syrup), evaporated milk, water, and possibly one or two other ingredients. This was the "formula" that most babies of the 1950's and even much of the 1960's were fed.

Baby formula is about 12 cents per day. There are more expensive brands though. When your baby drinks about 30 ounces per day it will cost approximately $3.60. But, when your baby grows it will start drinking about 40 ounces a day which is equal to about $4.80 a day. So on average, yearky you will spend $1,500 to $2,000 on baby formula.
In 1982, the average cost of baby formula was approximately $10 to $15 for a can, depending on the brand and type. This price reflects the typical expenses for infant nutrition at that time, with prices varying based on regional factors and specific product formulations. Adjusted for inflation, this cost would be significantly lower than modern prices for baby formula.
