Anyone remember National Dried Milk?

Marmite is rich in B vitamins, IIRC. Downside is, it’s very salty.

My older DD had National Dried milk, she had dreadful colic even when breastfed and it was the only milk which suited her.

The orange juice was lovely.
I had Sister Laura's, apparently.

I remember Sister Laura's as a first cereal you could mix with milk to feed by a bottle or make it thicker for a first spoon food, maybe it was a brand for various baby foods.

I think I must have had NDM, as my mum had to stop breastfeeding me because she had an abscess, this in 1940.

I remember the orange juice later, lovely, but the only way I would take the cod liver oil was if it was on top of the orange juice!
Then I got malt stuff but my sister (b 1949) had Virol.

My sister was adopted and fed on National Dried Milk because for some odd reason the Scottish adoption authorities demanded it. Cow & Gate wasn't good enough apparently, although I had thrived on it when mummy's milk, not plentiful, ran out.

And yes, as I was nearly four, II clearly remember the drab greyish-fawn paper with blue lettering on the tin. I wondered, being four, why anyone would prefer that to the scarlet Cow & Gate tin with the smiling baby.

My daughter bought me an empty tin at an antique fair!
I remember it well and I remember my mum making peppermint lumps with it which we (in a sweet deprived world) thought gorgeous. I made some many years later when my daughter was a baby and thought they were horrible!
I loved the orange juice and the malt but Scott’s Emulsion was disgusting!

Scott’s Emulsion was delicious! So was malt, I can’t remember what the one we had was called it came in a squarish brown bottle. I frequently had pneumonia as a child and so was always being ‘built up’. They succeeded now I’m just fat!

Yes, I was fed with this as a baby and like many of you remember the tins in the shed filled with screws etc.
About 10 years ago I went to a childhood museum and took this photo

midgley Syrup of Figs ? I liked that too

I used to sneak into kitchen and help myself to spoonfuls of the dried milk. It stuck to the teeth but I loved it.

Mine too!

Does anyone remember Rose Hip Syrup? We used to collect the rose hips as children, some one collected them in a lorry from which we earned pocket money.

Yes, lovely tasting Rose Hip syrup. Unfortunately, Mum always made me swallow two tablespoons of California Syrup of Figs at the same time.

Vile stuff!

Definitely NDM, orange juice and cod liver oil.

I was born in 1955 and couldn’t tolerate the powdered milk. It seemed to upset my stomach and I cried all the time. In desperation my mother wrote to a Matron who gave baby advice, in a magazine. She advised my mother to give me diluted evaporated milk too! I thrived on that and apparently was like a different baby immediately!
