Goat milk is the best for babies and toddlers. Suddenly there are no more earaches, bellyaches, you put them down and bang - down for the night. It's a mom and dad sanity saver.
*Breastmilk is the best for babies and toddlers.
I've heard goat milk is better than formula and if I could not breastfeed, I would go that route. But most women can breastfeed and should choose to do that first and foremost. The benefits are unmatched.

Hmm, I'm surrounded by goat farmers...
Infants need iron. There is too much calcium and little to no iron in animal milk.
Goat milk is good for allowing your body to absorb and use iron and can help your body more effectively produce vitamin D (another important vitamin that is added to processed foods to fortify them).
Goat milk is high in Vitamin D (good). The lactose in goat milk is also more easily digested and absorbed than cow milk. In goat milk (as compared to cow milk), there is less interaction between calcium and iron. These factors may explain why calcium is more bioavailable when it comes from goat milk than when it comes from cow milk.
Research has concluded that goat milk is recommended for people who suffer from iron deficiency (caused by problems with their diet) because it can relieve or even possibly reverse the negative effects of iron deficiency on the human body.
The calcium blocks iron absorption, so how do you figure?
This is the same reason doctors recommend children do not get over X amount of oz of milk a day...because it leads to...anemia.
Calcium may actually inhibit the body’s ability to transport iron into cells, but this only occurs under specific conditions and to a pretty minimal extent. A sizable portion of studies focusing on the calcium-iron conundrum don’t dive into the specific mechanisms involved.
I am not surprised by "so called scientist do not do their homework". It is what happens when you go to prove a theory and stop when you get the answer you were looking for.
So we learned in studies that looked at specific mechanisms and found calcium didn’t affect the amount of iron that entered the cells, but it did temporarily affect the cells’ ability to export the iron into (what would be) human circulation. Instead of looking at just a 1.5 window we find at the four-hour mark, however, FPN levels had recovered. So the calcium conundrum comes down to time. Considering most other studies using larger windows of time found that there is no effect of calcium on iron absorption
Specially goat milk has a better parathyroid balance that regulates calcium balance. The reason is goats milk has a higher bioavailability iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Regular diet of goats milk aides mineral metabolism and shortens the window for FPN levels to recover . The iron and calcium components of goat’s milk have been found to be easier to absorb than those of cow’s milk.
SO?
That doesn't mean its a good source of iron. How hard is this?
Okay so you've got a child drinking milk every few hours.
HMMMM HOW LONG OF A WINDOW DOES THE BABY HAVE TO ABSORB IRON, OF WHICH THE REST OF THEIR DIET CONTAINS ZERO AND MILK CONTAINS NEAR ZERO?
How are you this dense?
Drinking what milk? You have cow milk on your mind so you can't be objective. I know you ignorant to the difference
There have been numerous studies comparing cow milk with goat milk in the last few years. Nearly all researchers have concluded that goat milk has properties that can help in prevention of diseases like anemia and bone demineralization. Goat milk has been found to have far more health benefits than cow milk.
Goat milk is much readily digestible than cow milk because size of fat molecules is one fifth compared to cow milk. The fat content is higher in goat milk. Smaller size of fat molecules produces a more homogeneous mixture of fat in the milk. Glycerol ethers are found in higher amount in goat milk, which is important for the nutrition of a new born baby. Goat milk has more protein per serving and also has higher levels of essential amino acids.
Goat milk also has lower levels of orotic acid that helps in prevention of fatty liver syndrome in infants. There is no need for separation of cream in goat milk because of smaller fat molecules. Scientists believe that goat milk is closer to human milk than cow milk, which is why it is easily absorbed into human bodies.
Because of the presence of more chlorine and fluorine in goat milk, it has germicidal properties. Fluorine also helps in prevention of diabetes. Somehow, goats are immune to tuberculosis and this is why their milk is used for the treatment of this disease in many countries.
Goat milk has the ability to soften the intestinal tract and has been found to be helpful in curing constipation. Some scientists believe that goat milk has anti carcinogenic properties because of the presence of higher carotene (vitamin A).
Goat milk has more vitamin A, B3, and B6, though it has lower amounts of B9, B12 and B2 vitamins than cow milk. Goat milk has higher amounts of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, manganese. Scientists believe goat milk to be closer in structure to human milk than cow milk.
The digestive utilization of iron, however, is similar for the goat-milk diet and a standard diet, and in both cases superior to that based on cow milk.
No animal milk has sufficient iron for an infant. Wow.
Why the 3 down votes?
I also fed my kids goat's milk. 40 years ago. The youngest probably would have died without it, or been horribly miserable without it. They are both very healthy men today, thank you.
Thank you for posting this!
Besides that I was wondering the same thing in an earlier reply I made, I'm inclined to believe her bc she's hot
I wonder how people survived before the "invention of baby formula"
The job of the wet nurse is as old as that of prostitution, because the need was always there.
Same w/ “dog food.”
Thank you for this. I bypass a lot of articles that people link to.
For the curious, click-through and read it. Brief, well-written, and invaluable.
When I was a kid many years ago, we took field trips to the Goat farm and we had to drink goat's milk raw! It was terrible, and it tasted like a goat smell! Needless to say, the Goat farm field trip was the worst field trip of the year!
Right. The only problem is most people don’t have access to unprocessed goat milk. So, yes… some parents need formula and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m tired of all this nonsense making it out like parents are shit bc they have to use formula. Some women can’t lactate or make enough milk. Some parents adopted and don’t have the biological means to breast feed (women’s health issues). Some moms just don’t want to pump and have their baby on the boob all day. Men need to shut up about this and women need to stop acting like formula feeding is the lazy and irresponsible selfish way to take care of their baby.
Seems based. Love the line about toxins from injections
