Question 1

can i give my 10month old goats milk?

Accepted Answer

No: No, introduction of non-breast milk or formula should only occur after 12 months of age. even with that, goats milk is not recommended because of the risk for vitamin deficiencies with this type of milk. Please discuss this with your child's doctor prior to starting them on something other than breast milk or formula.

Question 2

may i feed my baby  1 month olds w??ith karihome goat's milk

Accepted Answer

No: Babies need either mother's milk or formula, not goat or cow milk. Mother's milk is always the best option

Question 3

my baby has 5 months, can he drinks goat milk?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended.: Human milk is best at this age, followed by formula. Goat milk is ok closer to 9 months of age, and only as part of a varied diet, not by itself. It should only be used if pasteurized.

Question 4

is drinking too much goat's milk, bad for health?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On what too much means to you. Humans are the only mammals that continue to consume milk after early childhood, and all milk has lots of fat and cholesterol. While goat's milk produces less allergic and GI symptoms in many people than cows milk, it is not necessarily healthier. A diet heavy on plant-based food and light on animal-based food, including milk, is healthiest.

Question 5

pls explain me the health benefits of goat milk.....

Accepted Answer

Better than cow but:: In general I agree with the many experts who say that milk is designed by nature as a food for babies and most adults are better off avoiding milk. See http://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/
But if you really want milk for some reason, goat milk is a healthier choice than cow's milk.

Question 6

can i switch my 10 month old from formula to goats milk? lately she has been refusing formula and only wants to eat solids.

Why bother: Milk is a convenient source of calcium in a kids diet & promoted heavily by the dairy industry as a perfect food, bull! if a kid is exploring other foods, calcium sources like yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, goat cheese and even calcium tablets can provide all they need.They can get the fat/protein/fluid they need thru other diet sources including water.

Question 10

how can cow's milk trigger my allergies and goat milk  not?

Accepted Answer

Lucky: From an evolutionary point-of-view cows and goats are closely related. So the proteins in their milks are very similar and share many common allergens. 92% of children allergic to cow's milk are also allergic to goat's milk. Of course, 8% are not. That's why your child is lucky. Incidentally about 10% of children allergic to cow's milk are also allergic to beef.
