UPDATED: March 2018
Organic baby formula is a hot topic here; in fact, it’s what you guys ask about most! I understand—you want to make sure that what you’re feeding your babies and toddlers is the best stuff possible, and there are about a gajillion types of organic baby formula now on the market. I’ve reviewed many of them in my Safe Infant Formula Guide, but this post is dedicated specifically to goat milk baby formula.
Best Goat Milk Baby Formula
If I were looking for a goat milk baby formula for my own child, I would choose Kabrita. There is strong evidence that goat milk more closely mimics human breast milk than does cow milk, and Kabrita is the only formula I know of that contains the beneficial type of palm oil (see more on this below). Kabrita is now also the only formula sold in the United States that is certified glyphosate-free!
Kabrita has offered 10% off for my readers with code GIMMEKABRITA.
I’ve researched the goat milk formulas from Sammy’s Milk, Kabrita, Holle and NANNYcare because these are the brands that you ask about most.
Here’s the Deal with Goat Milk Baby Formula
1) Is goat milk healthier than cow milk? What are the benefits of goat milk baby formula?
Goat milk can be better, yes.
In basic nutritional terms, goat milk and cow milk are pretty similar. Goat milk tends to be higher in several vitamins and minerals. Cow milk is higher in vitamin B12 and has significantly more folic acid than goat milk.
When it comes to formula, these differences don’t matter much. All formulas have nutrients added to make up for whatever the milk they’re based on might be lacking, and to make the formula mimic human milk as closely as possible.
What’s most important is how the animals—be they cows or goats—are fed and raised. I prefer milk that is organic, or at least non-GMO, and from animals that are pastured.
It’s also worth noting that animal studies and some studies on humans suggest that the vitamins and minerals in goat’s milk might be more readily absorbed than those in cow milk. Basically, goat milk in its natural state seems to be closer to human milk than cow milk is, which is one of the benefits of goat milk formulas.
Note that whichever formula you choose, you should always use a water filter to remove chlorine (carcinogenic) and fluoride (linked with lowered IQ). (Here’s more on why you should get a filter and which ones I like.)
2) Is goat milk less allergenic than cow milk?
Yes. One of the other benefits of goat milk baby formula is that it’s easier to digest. But it’s not for everyone.
Goat’s milk is regarded as a “hypoallergenic” alternative to cow milk because it’s less likely to trigger the allergies and food sensitivities that many people experience with cow milk.
The composition of the proteins and fats in goat and cow milk varies enough to make goat milk less problematic and, overall, more digestible. For babies, whose immune and digestive systems are still developing, this could make a big difference.
- The proteins in goat milk digest faster and more easily than those in cow milk. (This is true for the fats, too.) In terms of allergies, goat milk does not contain the type of casein protein, alpha-S1, that tends to be problematic in cow milk. Instead, the primary type of casein in goat milk is more similar to what’s found in human milk. Note: if your child has a full-blown cow milk protein allergy (CMPA), he or she could also react to the proteins in goat’s milk, which are similar.
- Goat milk has less lactose than cow milk, but it might still be an issue for people with lactose intolerance. All of the goat milk formulas I reviewed, except for Sammy’s Milk, add more lactose as carbohydrate source.
3) Why aren’t all of these goat milk formulas organic?
Of the goat milk formulas I researched, only one brand, Holle, is certified organic (according to European standards, which are actually stricter than American standards). This may be surprising, given that these companies all seem to be going to great lengths to make formula with pure ingredients. As it turns out, there isn’t much certified organic goats milk being produced. There are multiple reasons for this phenomenon, but that’s beyond the scope of this post.
Kabrita goat’s milk is non-GMO, from farms in the Netherlands and Missouri.
NANNYcare milk is from goats that are mostly pasture fed in New Zealand, and raised without the use of hormones; antibiotics use is minimal.
You’ll find more info about Sammy’s Milk below.
4) Which goat milk formula is best? Is it worth switching baby formula?
We all know breast milk is better than formula, be in from a goat or a cow, and even if you’re choosing an organic baby formula. There’s no such thing as a perfect formula, but the best brands get really close– close enough that you should feel confident feeding the formula to your infant or toddler.
In this comparison of goat milk formulas, I considered several factors:
- The quality and purity of the goat milk (organic/non-GMO/pastured);
- The type and purity of of added carbohydrates (sugars);
- The type and purity of added vegetable oils;
- The presence of hexane-extracted DHA/ARA;
- and the presence of problematic synthetic preservatives and nutrients.
For more about my rationale behind these factors and why I think they matter when selecting an organic baby formula, see our Safe Infant Formula Guide.
We hope you’re enjoying this post! Sign up for our newsletter to be alerted when we publish or update our Safe Product Guides.
Here’s my bottom line: All of the brands I looked into qualify as Good Stuff when looked at in the context of baby formula in general. If I were looking for a goat’s milk formula for my kids, here is what I would choose, in order of preference:
1st choice: Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula (12+ months).
I like that Kabrita uses non-GMO goat milk (from Missouri and the Netherlands) and has lactose as the primary added carbohydrate. Kabrita is now the only formula sold in the U.S. that is certified glyphosate free.
Kabrita’s latest formulation doesn’t contain any taurine or carnitine (two synthetic nutrients that are in most baby formulas), and they’d added a probiotic.
What really makes Kabrita stand out is the fat blend that they use—from what we know, Kabrita is the only brand that uses plant-derived fats that match the structure of the most common fat molecules in breast milk. These fats (high SN-2 palmitate, a.k.a. “OPO fats”), which are produced by an enzymatic reaction on a mixture of vegetable oils, have been shown to promote more healthy bacteria in the gut, reduce colic and gas, reduce constipation, and allow for fat and calcium to be absorbed better.
I also appreciate that Kabrita is transparent about their ingredients. And like all of the formulas listed here, Kabrita forgoes the most concerning preservatives and most synthetic nutrients (they do add L-carninite and taurine).
Kabrita adds hexane-extracted DHA and ARA but assures me that hexane is not present in the finished product.
Kabrita hopes to debut an infant formula in the U.S. market later this year, at which point I feel confident that it will become my top formula pick. (Ask your pediatrician if the current toddler formula–which has more protein than most infant formulas–is appropriate for your baby.)
Since I am a Kabrita affiliate, they are offering my readers 10% off with code GIMMEKABRITA. (Read my affiliate disclosure page here.)
2nd choice: Holle Organic Infant Goat Milk Formula 1 (0+ months) and Holle Organic Infant Goat Milk Follow-on Formula 2 (6+ months).
I like that the primary ingredients in these formulas—goat milk, carbohydrates, and oils—meet a very high, European organic standard. These are the only goat milk formulas that are officially organic. (I’m a fan of Holle’s cow milk formulas, too.) I also like that they don’t add hexane-extracted DHA/ARA and also forgo the most concerning preservatives and most problematic synthetic nutrients. (Formula 1 does have L-methionine).
I don’t like that maltodextrin is the primary added carbohydrate in Holle’s formula, but I appreciate that it is organic, and that they do also use lactose as a sweetener. I’m also not a fan of the palm and grapeseed oils, but they are organic, and Holle also uses organic sunflower oil.
Holle isn’t imported to the U.S. so can be hard to purchase; you can buy this formula Huggable or Organic Baby Food 24 (based in Germany). I’ve spoken with both of these distributors, set up affiliate relationships, and would feel comfortable ordering from them if I were looking to feed my own baby this formula.
3rd choice: NANNYcare First Infant Milk, Follow On Milk, and Growing Up Milk.
The goat milk used for NANNYcare formulas seems to be well-sourced from New Zealand, but they don’t have any organic or non-GMO certifications.
I like that lactose is the only added carbohydrate, and they skip palm oil and hexane-extracted DHA and ARA. They also don’t use any soy-based ingredients (oil or lecithin).
Like all of the goat milk formulas listed here, NANNYcare forgoes the most concerning preservatives and most synthetic nutrients (they do add L-carninite and taurine to the first formula and growing up milk, and taurine to the follow on milk).
What About Sammy’s Milk?
We originally wrote this guide during the Sammy’s Milk recall. It’s now back on the market as a “Toddler Formula,” and while some of you remain skittish, and we haven’t done a thorough review, there is a lot to like about Sammy’s, including milk from goats that are free range, antibiotic free, and hormone free; molasses as the added carbohydrate and a source of bioavailable iron; real fish oil as a source of DHA and EPA; the lack of controversial palm oil and soy; and the addition of prebiotics to this formula.
Should You Be Switching Baby Formula?
If I were formula feeding my own child, the apparent benefits of goat milk formula would probably make me consider switching from a cow milk variety. I do have clients whose pediatricians discouraged this, so definitely talk to yours before starting on or switching to a goat milk baby formula. It bears repeating that I am not a medical professional of any kind.

Jason Gold says
Thanks for the great list!
We have been making the Weston A. Price homemade formula for the last 4 months now and our 7 month old is THRIVING and so healthy!
I can attest to how amazing the formula is. If you have access to very clean and healthy animals then, both the Raw Cow & Raw Goat milk formulas are simply wonderful. It takes about 15-20 minutes to make a batch. We often make a double batch a freeze extra for future use. Our little boy is strong, active, and loves the formula.
We have access to a wonderful farm and have confidence that we area getting the best possible milk for our formula. While buying raw milk is “illegal”, it is legal to own a Share of a cow/goat and then the milk is technically free…
If you have access to the Raw milk, it is just the best alternative to Breast milk possible.
Courtney says
This is wonderful information! Quick question for you — can these be used for an older child (18-months) when weaning from breastfeeding? I’m looking for alternatives to cow’s milk and have heard good things about goat’s milk. I’m just confused as to whether to switch to a goat-milk formula, like the ones you have reviewed, or just regular goat’s milk.
Thanks so much!
Maia James says
Hi there Courtney-
Yes, I think they would be fine for that purpose, but you should check with your pediatrician to be sure:).
Victoria says
We used Baby’s Only Whey and have a happy and healthy one and a half yr. old. If I had another baby, I would probably use it again, but if they had allergies I would switch to a goat’s milk formula.
Su says
Dear Maia,
My LO started on Lebenswert when she was 3 months old. Because of her eczema, we switched her to holle goat milk and her face got clear up after two weeks. However, the goat milk formula caused her to constipated badly. We wonder if she can have both holle goat milk and lebenswerts at the same time.
Thanks for always sharing the great info!
Melissa says
I have the same issue with my 5 month old- she broke out on Holle cow and cleared up with Holle goat but is so constipated. What did you end up doing to fix the issue? Any tips?
Sarah says
I am starting Holle goats milk. Do you recommend adding DHA or anything? Or does the formula have everything needed for my 2 month old? Thanks!!
Maia James says
DHA is a complicated issue…I have to defer to your pediatrician’s opinion on this one.
Vivian says
Hello Sarah, I use Holle Goat’s formula stage 1 for my 2 month old as well and I add DHA and probiotics on 1 bottle per day. Hope this helps!
Heather says
It should be noted that all the goat’s milk formulas listed here EXCEPT SAMMYS contains cow milk lactose.
And I contacted the European formula companies listed here who stated that their products are not allowed to be sold to US customers. Buying from sites based in the US is apparently illegal business practices?? I find that rather strong language but there ya go. Maybe something was lost in translation.
Also Sammy’s Milk’s recall ended and is now available from her website.
Just FYI
Gianne says
May I ask why you moved Kabrita’s formula as top choice ? Would this be suitable for infants?
Maia James says
I moved it up because they removed the glucose syrup solids and I learned more about the palm oil they use. You should check with your pediatrician about giving it to an infant:).
Raymond says
Hi! I love your newsletters. I can’t seem to find a can of Kabrita which does NOT contain glucose syrup solids. Even on there website it still shows that it contains glucose syrup solids.
Please advise
🙂
Maia James says
They changed their formula and it’s no longer in there:)
Llllins says
Hi, I still see the glucose syrup solids on their ingredient list on their website.
Allison Rabbitt says
I was wondering what your opinion was on Sanmys Milk now that the recall is over and it is FDA approved? Would you still rate Kabrita above it? (If so, why?) my LO is 13 months and has been on Baby’s Only Whey for a few months (your blog helped me find Babys Only), I am a little worried about the brown rice used and was considering Sammys Milk before the recall. I wasn’t aware of the other goat milk options. Would love to here your opinion! Thanks!
Sarah says
Is Kabrita toddler formula safe for 2 month old? I’m getting conflicting information: I called Kabrita and they said its approved for infants but not FDA approved in US, which I knew but some say there is not enough iodine and too high levels of calcium. What have you found to be true? Thanks!
Maia James says
I would run it by your pediatrician–let him/her look at the nutrition info and see what he/she thinks!
Jessica Sperling says
I have been nursing and supplementing lebenswert stage 1. I’m current weaning from breastfeeding as I don’t produce enough. my pediatrician has recommended I switch to a hypoallergenic formula after his stool test was positive for blood. I ordered hipp hypoallergenic but now I’m concerned about the aluminum. Which hypoallergenic formula would you recommend for a 6 week old?
Maia James says
I would probably go with the HiPP despite the aluminum.
Unfortunately, the more I research this, the more it seems like aluminum is an issue in all formula.
Nora says
I’m confused bc I was just on kabritas website and I see an infant formula but above you say there isn’t one. Can you clarify?
Maia James says
this is BRAND new! I need to update the post to reflect this:)
Megan says
Hi Maia,
I look forward to your review of Kabrita Infant Formula, do you know when you would be doing this? Also, I am in between Baby’s Only Whey Protein, Kabrita Infant, Sammy’s Milk and Lebenswert for my 5 week old. Which would you recommend? Also, do you know if Lebenswert makes a goats milk version other than Holle?
Stacy says
I also would love a review on the infant formula. Costco carries Kabrita and Im interested for our 6 month old.
Melissa says
Hi Maia
First off, great website- I find it so helpful as a new mama! Ty!
Question for you regarding your opinion- we give our 4 month old Holle goat formula but I have found it to be constipating for her…not sure why the goat does that? Have you done any reviews on Holle Pre formula which is new? I love that it does not use maltodextrin and has apparently less oils too since they use milk fat…thinking of trying that out to see if it will help with constipation issue. What are your thoughts?
Yadira says
I too am also interested in this. My 5 month old is going to be transitioning from breastmilk to formula. In your opinion, of course, could I still give her Holle Pre formula instead of Holle Stage 2? What would really be the difference? I am concerned about giving my LO a formula that won’t meet her needs.
….Also, what prebiotic do you recommend for infants?
Thanks ^_^
Laura B. says
From reading through the literature on organic infant formulas, it seems Holle Stage 1 Lebenswert is the best option.
Can you site any scientific literature on the oils (and their affects on babies) used in Holle Stage 1L? Also, I do not see the nutrition label on the Holle package, does it contain all the vitamins and minerals needed for proper growth as defined by the USDA? I know it’s not an American brand, but I want to make sure my LO is getting everything he needs! where can I find the % daily values of the vitamins and minerals in this formula?
Is the fat and protein content the same as most American formulas?
We have just ordered Baby’s Only, unfortunately before we recognized their was soybean oil in it. It also uses brown rice syrup , which I’m not sure about. Do we know how brown rice syrup affects insulin response and blood glucose levels in babies (in comparison to milk)?
Kiran says
Thanks so much for this information. Do you know if there is any corn or corn products in Nannycare? Thank you.
Carly says
Thank you for this article! The Amazon link to NannyCare no longer works. Which retailer do you recommend for buying NannyCare?
Maia James says
It seems that you can no longer get NannyCare in the US:(
Jennifer says
I will be using nanny care and purchase through amazon. So far no issues ordering it.
Maia James says
Yes, it’s back again!
Stephanie H. says
I have also researched so many brands but the one I came across and feel comfortable giving my 6 month old is called Mt. Capra. It comes directly from Dutch goat milk farms in the Netherlands. Their company has no pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics no chemicals are added. It’s a goat milk powder and also has a lactose powder. You do have to add a few other ingredients such as organic sunflower oil, molasses, dha, colostrum and vitamins. I make it in large batches and my little one loves it. It doesn’t take long to make.
Mk says
Hey Stephnie,
Can you guide about Mt. Capra…. is ur lo thriving??
Amanda says
I received 4 boxes of Holle Stage 1 Cow and 2 boxes of Holle Stage 1 Goat from a girlfriend whose LO did not tolerate them. She ended up going to HIPP and all is well. I am switching from the Baby’s Only to Holle. I don’t want to let the goat milk go to waste and was wondering if it would be ok to mix it with the cow? My LO has been on mainly BM since birth and has only been on the Baby’s Only for about 3 weeks with no issues. I would just prefer her to be on the Holle moving forward. Thoughts?
Josette says
My daughter’s little boy is 6 months and has been exclusively on breast milk so far. She is having trouble keeping up her milk supply and wants to start supplementing with formula. I ordered the Holle Goats Milk stage 2 and unfortunately he hates it. 🙁 My son in law says it smells strong, which may be putting him off. They even tried mixing it with breast milk (1 oz Holle to 3 oz breast milk) and he still cried and wouldn’t eat it.
I am now thinking of trying one of the cow milk formulas recommended on your site. Do you know if the goat milk taste/smell is stronger than cow milk?
Also, did you ever find out anything about that issue with the European brands posted by another mom? Something about testing done in Europe revealing substances in both Holle and HiPP that were not safe?
Thank you for your great site!
Josette says
I purchased the Holle Goat’s Milk Stage 2 for my grandson. He has been breast fed exclusively for 6 months, but my daughter’s supply took a hit when she returned to work and she wanted to supplement. He seemed to do okay at first. But gradually over a month or so, he developed diarrhea and eventually had a full blown allergic reaction with bad hives.
I bought some of the HIPP HA Combiotik Stage 2 in the hope that that he would tolerate a hydrolyzed protein formula. But his pediatrician put him on Nutramigen (which does the same thing) and my daughter is now leery of European formulas. Her pediatrician also told her that babies cannot digest the proteins in goat’s milk, and he never should have been eating it. Now I feel horrible that I made my grandchild sick.
I hate that he is eating the terrible ingredients in Nutramigen. His rash is fading, but he is still not behaving normally. His stool is still green and now bad smelling. The ingredients in the HIPP are so much better, but American pediatricians apparently won’t recommend it. And now I don’t know how safe it would be.
Do you know any reason why goat’s milk protein is not suitable for infants? I can’t really find any research about it. It doesn’t make any sense that they would make the formula if it wasn’t.
Confused grandmother
Candice says
Hello!
My baby at 4 months did not tolerate kabrita well so switched back to babys only whey protein. Do you recommend the one with or without dha and is this formula even safe for infants? Thanks!!
Meg says
My daughter is turning 1 this week. Would you recommend this formula as an alternative to just switching her to cow’s milk?
Maia James says
I like that idea, actually. Talk to your pediatrician.
Karen says
My son is turning 1 in Dec. trying to decide between switching him to Hipps Follow Up On Milk formula, or homogenized milk. Should I be concerned with the phthalate levels in one over the other? Thanks
Sara says
Hi Maia! I love your blog, thanks so much for helping so many parents out 🙂
My son just turned one and unfortunately, I have to wean him off breastfeeding. I am so torn whether to give him cow milk, goat milk, or a toddler formula. Most pediatricians in NYC say cows milk si the way to go, but I’ve heard/read so much about how it’s definitely not the best. What are your thoughts? Which would you give your kids? Thanks so much in advance!
Helen says
We have a 5 week old baby girl who has colic and gas issues, we have to supplement formula due to BF problems so we tried Lebenswert stage one but the colic was not getting better but her bowel movements and diapers were great. No allergies noticeable.
Then tried Holle goat to see if that could help her gas and colic but within one day it made her insanely constipated: like little rocks coming out, was screaming in pain so sad.
I’m now looking to the more gentle formulas and see Holle Special Comfort and also Holle HA PRE are the more gentle rated for super young babies. We add a probiotic and DHA to her food as well but I like that these have the prebiotics already in them. She did great on breast milk and these claim to me most similar to that, but I’m wondering: if she doesn’t seem to have a lactose allergy, which of these two options would be most colic and gas friendly?
Alice says
Hi Maia,
So I tried out kabrita on my six month old and it seemed to mitigate his eczema and fussiness (son has a cow milk sensitivity per his allergist). Sadly, we are going to have to switch to alimentium or nutramigen bc it turns out that the kabrita toddler formula has a lot of protein for a baby his age. Yoo may want to let your readers know that the protein levels in the formula are relatively high and high protein intake in infants stresses the kidneys and is associated w obesity later in life. Just something to consider. Really wish they had stage 1 available in the US bc it has lower protein levels.
Let me know what you think — you probably know a lot more about this than I do. I only researched this protein issue bc my son’s allergist said I need to check the fat and protein content and make sure that the protein wasn’t too high.
Finley says
Can you speak to the smell of Kabrita? I recent got a shipment of Sammy’s Milk, and while their ingredients seem to be the cleanest, the smell is horrible. Very strong fishy odor. Does Kybrita have a similar smell?
Maia James says
I’ve not heard any complaints about the smell, no.
John says
“If I were looking for a goat’s milk formula for my kids, here is what I would choose, in order of preference”
I sincerely doubt that.
If Kabrita is your 1st choice, your ability to analyze ingredients is questionable. Either that, or the financial benefits derived from your affiliate marketing partners is swaying your decision making skills.
Glucose Syrup Solids
Soybean Oil
Hexane-extracted, artificially produced DHA and ARA
(Mortierella Alpina Oil, Crypthecodinium Cohnii Oil)
L-carninite and taurine
Sodium Selenite (far more potential for toxicity than selenate)
The list goes on…
Kabrita has taken every short cut in the book.
It’s quite sad that this blog would promote Kabrita above far cleaner/healthier goat milk based formulas.
John says
In this comparison of goat milk formulas, I considered several factors:
The quality and purity of the goat milk (organic/non-GMO/pastured);
The type and purity of of added carbohydrates (sugars);
The type and purity of added vegetable oils;
The presence of hexane-extracted DHA/ARA;
and the presence of problematic synthetic preservatives and nutrients.
Kabrita ranks by far the lowest on every count!
D says
Which one ranked number#1then from your research?
John says
Holle goat milk… it’s certified organic… has the cleanest list of ingredients, and they’re serious about their animals’ welfare, nutrition and farming practices.
Molly says
How do you feel about using it prior to 12 months old? Seems like if you need a formula at 12 months old you could just use organic grass fed goat milk rather than formula.
Melissa says
Unfortunately no American pediatrician is going to advise you properly on which European formula you should use. I know Maia has to insist in her comments that you check w them first to cover herself but imo that’s only going to cause more confusion to a parent. The best thing you can do is read reviews or posts from other parents about what worked for their baby per issue. The next thing you have to do is throw your fear of the fda and your doctors Lack of approval out the window and then nail it shut. Our doctors are not informed enough (or just don’t care) about the formula epidemic in our country and their judgment is clouded by bias and monetary incentive. Ever see the stock pile of synthetic formula samples they keep on hand in their office? They will hand you enfamil and similac with a smile and their seal of approval. It’s frustrating that we are suppose to trust these doctors to give us good advice and instead we get bs. I know it’s scary but we have to trust our instincts and make these hard decisions for our child’s best interest. My youngest is 2 1/2 now and I went through all of this when he was born. I did the hours and hours of research trying to figure out why he was so colicky and upset all the time. I was sick to my stomach with what I found out about my beloved Countries formula practices. To realize that our fda is a joke and their approval meant absolutely nothing was eye opening. Although it has been a sobering experience, I’m thankful that I’ve learned so much on this journey and my son did so great on the European formula I chose to use which was Lebenswert btw. I did switch to Hipps Dutch version when he was 9 months old only because Of the added probiotics I wanted him to have but you can keep your child on Lebenswert Stage 1 through the entire first year. I actually kept him on the Hipp after a year because l Learned it was better than switching to plains cows milk. I know it feels likes a huge risk at first but It truly was the best thing I could have done for my son. I’m pregnant again and if I have trouble breastfeeding this time I will happily import European formula again, with or without the legal implications 😉
Erin says
Would you feed your newborn the Kabrita toddler formula? It says it meets he nutrition requirements. Thanks!
Lauren says
I’ve read that GMF can put stress on infant kidneys/cause metabolic acidosis in newborns. Would love to hear your thoughts on this since you have done a lot of research. Thanks in advance!
Erin says
Would you feed the Kabrita to your newborn? I have been supplementing with it and it says it meets the nutritional requirements of infant formula. He seems to do really well on it. Thanks!
Maia James says
Hi! I would check with your pediatrician on this. Thanks!
Semois says
what about bambinchen also from goats from new zealand
aimee says
FYI Kabrita won’t sell anything to US customers but toddler formula, just checked their website and they don’t ship infant formula to the US. 🙁
My Organic Company LLC says
Goat’s milk is no more appropriate to give baby than cow’s milk. If you need to supplement and breastmilk is not available, formulas are a more nutritionally complete product. Goat milk is also deficient in folic acid, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia.
Goat milk is higher in some vitamins and minerals, cow’s milk has more folic acid and B12 than goat milk.Some studies suggest that the nutrients in goat’s milk are easier to absorb than cow’s milk, which might give goat’s milk a slight benefit over cow’s milk formulas.
Deanna O'Connor says
We fed our daughter Kabrita from the time she was about 4 months old (yes, we talked to our pediatrician!) and she has tolerated it quite well. Her refluxing has stopped completely. Our full story about our switch from Similac to Kabrita can be found here: https://giveagirlagoat.com/goat-milk-formula-is-an-option-for-baby/
For those who wonder about giving Kabrita to a baby under 12 months old, have a talk with your baby’s doctor. You might find out it’s just what you’re looking for.
