A member asked:
My baby has 5 months, can he drinks goat milk?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Not a good idea: Gaots milk is designed for goats.It is not balanced nutrition for a human infant and is specifically deficient in folate (folic acid).Formulas are balanced and several are available to meat the specific needs of any kid.I encourage people to wait until after age 1 yr to offer goats milk.
