Question by abc123: Do any goats milk based baby formulas exist?
I know most standard formula is made from cows milk. I know there are also soy based baby formulas. From what I’ve read, goats milk is much easier to digest because of the large proteins in cows milk. So I’m curious if goats milk enriched formula exists, and if not, why not? I’ve heard of people using powdered goats milk WITH added vitamins and such for their babies. Just curious why companies wouldn’t market such formula. But my knowledge on formula isn’t very high because I breastfeed. Thanks

  2. breastmilk IS easily digested & designed for human babes. nothing else is comparable. the same sugars (lactose) and proteins are found in all animal milk products & chemically processed formulas are just as bad.

  3. In Australia there is goats milk formula, I’ve noticed it on the shelves. I also don’t know that much about formula’s because I breastfed my son till just after his 2nd birthday.
