Goats Milk - Huntsville,AL

Goat's milk is much closer to human breastmilk and has smaller protein particles. Since most formula is from corporate farming cows - which means antibiotics in it, growth hormone, pus, blood and not even mentioning the mistreatment of those poor cows - goats are not a mainstream animal like the cow and you will not have to worry so much about all those toxic additions.

Good luck!

I'm all about goats milk! My kid had a terrible time with dairy...I couldn't give him dairy based formulas, or anything with lactose, but my dr. suggested goats milk and he never spit up with it, and he's been growing really great. I think it's just so much more sensitive on their bodies than cow's milk. :)

Goats milk is still a dairy product so if it's a dairy allergy I would try soy. Good luck in finding something that will work!

Goat milk is a good alternative, but it's still dairy - might cause less infections though

Well it's very simple to test for a dairy allergy o why not just get her tested before you start experimenting. Besides my youngest had a dairy allergy and we were told not to give goats milk because it could also cause a reaction.

Goat's milk still has lactose and casein in it. Goats milk is more easily digestible, but people with dairy problems should be careful. I am allergic to dairy and react to goat's milk.

Wait a minute, a 10 month-old should not be drinking milk of any kind anyway! Milk is not recommended by pediatricians until at LEAST 12 months because it can cause a child to become severely anemic until that age. Please, only formula or breastmilk until then. If dairy allergies are the issue, there are lots of formulas you can try without dairy. Soy is not really recommended either in large amounts because it mimics estrogen in the body and can really mess up a baby's hormones. Many people who are allergic to milk are also allergic to soy as well. Why not try almond milk (after first birthday). My daughter can't handle regular milk but does well on almond milk. I've also heard good things about hemp milk. Good luck!

It certainly doesn't hurt to try out a dairy free substitute if you are suspecting a dairy allergy.

I've tried every milk out there. Only one daughter would take the Goats milk and she also loves goats/sheep cheese.

I prefer soy milk over all of it. Noone in my family cares for rice or almond milk, as the consistency seems too thin and weak.

There are also other factors to consider for repeated ear infections: make sure she doesn't go to sleep with a bottle, make sure to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth after a bottle, does she go to a daycare? thus being exposed to a lot of potential germs and sick kids there?

Sorry she's having so many ear infections. Hope you find the cause and solution soon.

First, I would take her to the chiropractor. If her atlas is out (first vertibrate), then her ears won't be able to drain. One of my children had this. A simple adjustment was all it took for her to never have ear infections again.
Also, if you use goat's milk, you will need to add stuff to it, like molasses, to get the proper iron in it. There are other things as well. You can google it (Weston A Price Foundation has some info as does Nurishing Traditions). We used to have goats, and my children all loved the goat's milk. They never had a problem with it. We drank it raw instead of killing all the nutrients and enzymes with pasturizing it. You need the enzymes for digesting milk. Many people today are dairy intollerant because they don't have the enzymes they need to digest it. Just get it from a reputable farm. Go check out their barn. How do they cool the milk? That makes a difference.
