Mother's treasure!
When Bobby's natural food failed some other food had to be found. The first thing Mother thought of was fresh milk-if only Baby could have digested it. But Baby couldn't. Many babies can't-and its just there that "Lactogen" comes in. It's Milk-but it's milk which Baby can digest-full cream cow's milk with only the water taken from it. But that clean careful process in the condensery has made the curd light and flaky so that baby can take it.
