Goat’s Milk ?

i am not going to goats milk route because everything i have read says if they have probs with cows milk protein there is a good chance they will have probs with goats milk protien.

our plan was to keep Trace on neocate until 2, but the last few weeks he has refused it.

there is no way i would ever do soy with him….so, i am doing pacific brand almond milk as it has the highest amount of fat and protein and least amount of sugar. i also sometimes do the westsoy brand rice milk. i also sneak in some scoops of neocate into that.

i make sure to feed him a good diet with lots of good fats like avacodo, olive oil, and flax seed oil, and things like lima beans and lentils for protein and iron…along with meats, etc.

and to answer your question is goats milk safe…its perfectly safe, and IMO, is superior to cows milk as the protein is more similair to human milk, and our babes certainly arent calves, they are humans.

but every babe is different, what may work for one may not work for another. i have heard several success stories with goats milk.

Hi Cindy,
My son is on partial goat’s milk and has always done well with it. We started using it to fortify his breast milk (for extra calories) when he was only about 3 months old because he couldn’t tolerate formula. It made a huge difference for him. So anyway, I definitely think it would be worth a try! You could always stop it if he seems to not tolerate it. Good luck!

One of my friends has her 2 year old on goats milk (and has had since she weaned). For some reason she can’t tolerate cows milk at all but can the goats. Like everything, its probably specific to the child. Goodluck and I hope it works.

and i think goat’s for us did help way better than cows. i forgot to mention ;)… the cows caused his excema.. and the goats didnt. but it didnt seem to “cure” his sleep issues.. thats why we are not currently having him on it.

g’luck with the goats!
