Alot of people ask me about goat milk (as a substitute for baby formula); here's some info I found, below. Fyi- I dilute 1/2 goat milk 1/2 water for my baby and toddlers. It's usually in most grocery stores by the regular milk. Sometimes it's in a powder form on a baking aisle as well.
My personal take on formula is that it hurts little tummies. I think it creates constipation and congestion. Formula's top ingredients are hydrogenated oils- in fact, many of the same ingredients that are in margarine! If your baby spits up alot or has constipation, you may wanna give goat milk a try!
Having said all this, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not your doctor. Enjoy:)
Proverbs 27:27
And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
