114. It has far too little iron for a forming baby.

Can it be supplemented? Yes. But, it's still lacking in iron and other vitamins and minerals.

So, it alone isn't a neat fix for the current shortage. Doctors don't have a handy supply of the proper supplements to toss out to modern day mothers. Which we later learned where a full list of what the babies needed to be in peak health. Now the doctors rely on fortified baby formulas for the infants first 6 months to supply their proper nutrition, including all the vitamins and minerals we've learned they need to thrive and develop properly. Could a supplement be produced to fortify condensed milk? I'm sure it could but there's been no need before now in modern times.

Please, I'm not being snarky, I swear. But, back then teething toys were painted with lead paint. Vaccinations were just DPT and small pox and later on polio. We've learned a few things since then. Which isn't a bad thing. Let's not wax nostalgic to the point of regressing on the simple things we've learned. For example, we know non organic milk products are filled with hormones (a modern problem) and it can potentially lead to premature puberty in young girls. Science is a nifty thing.
