> For all the "Baby formula shortage" media coverage, how many stories have included a recipe for alternatives to commercial formula?

Well, the reality is there isn't a good one. If there was, this issues wouldn't be so serious. Infant formula is truly a modern marvel - an accurate enough representation of breast milk. It lacks certain things (like antibodies), but can absolutely provide an infant correct nutrition. Too put things in perspective, toddler formula - which is very, very similar is considered a dangerous substitute since it does not contain the exact correct ratios and can lead to health issues.

To answer you question, the media does not have a recommendation because there simply isn't a good, safe recommendation.
