FDA says no: Fda advises that raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria like salmonella, listeria, e. Coli, bacteria which "…can be especially dangerous to pregnant women, children….".

Not in the slightest: Unpasteurized milk is inherently unsafe because of the risk of a whole host of infections that can be transmitted. In pregnancy, listeria is a particular problem which can kill the fetus. In anyone, drinking unpasteurized milk is like playing russian roulette.

Want healthy BB ?: Babies can become infected with listeriosis,a germ that causes abortions in cattle and humans or neonatal meningitis. There are a multitude of other germs that can be passed to you ar baby or both.The novelty & supposed benefits of "raw" milk place you in the same era of health as the colonists.They seldom named their babies until a year of age because so many died of these diseases in infancy.
