If you don't nurse your baby, you can give human milk in a cup or bottle. Or you can give formula. There is *NO!!* other choice that is acceptable. A baby raised on goat's milk will *not* get the nutrients she/he needs and could die or suffer brain damage, among many other lesser ills. Do not risk it.
There have been cases of babies dying and being permanently injured from the lack of a *single* vitamin. Goat's milk is missing a large number of nutrients that are essential for human beings. A goat's digestive system is completely different from that of people. Do *you* digest your food twice?

Of course! In Ayurveda term, goat's milk has much better qualities than any other, except breastmilk. So, first preference for an infant is mother's. But there may be various reasons why a mother cannot. So, the choice is goat's milk. Check with some Ayurveda doctor!

goat's milk is the second best joice for a baby after mother's milk.It has untibacterial properties and is considered safe for baby's sensitive dijestion truct. It doesn't need to be deluted,however you may consider letting a jar with milk stand in a fridge for 4-5 hours before feeding it to a baby-that way you'll be able to remove all(or some) the fat that has accumulated on the top of milk .

an infant can be given goats milk, my mom had to give it to me ( by my pediatricians orders) due to allergy's when i was a baby. Goats milk is better for baby than cows milk due to the fact that it is easier for a baby to digest. i would advise you to call a pediatrician however just to make sure the safest way to prepare it for the little one.

i in my opinion believe that 9 months is too youthful to be weaning from breast milk. toddlers favor the nutrition from breast milk/ formula until eventually they're a minimum of three hundred and sixty 5 days old even as cow's milk would properly be presented. i do not see something incorrect in feeding as many solids or inspite of you want yet i'd nevertheless be certain your baby is getting sufficient milk for the length of ordinary. that is needed for his or her progression. There are nutrients and supplementations that they could get from the milk that they gained't get from solids. i am going to genuinely change medical doctors. i pass to a defense force clinical institution so i'm getting to settle on who I agenda with. My daughter talked about a doctor she had not in any respect considered for her 6 month examine up and he had the gall to assert that my daughter is "chunky" because she is breastfed and it really is the reason she isn't waiting to sit down down each of how on her personal or crawl yet. My daughter is in straight forward words 6 months old, what does he assume from her?? and he or she's chunky because she's slightly one! Genetically from my husband and that i, it became certain to ensue! Our households have huge toddlers. He also spoke to me like i became fearful about her weight. No i'm no longer fearful, she will be in a position to roll round and scoot round in a circle on her abdomen, this is more desirable than i might want to ask for at this age. this is unlike she purely lays round all day, she hates laying down until eventually she's asleep. also tried to assert i wanted to grant her nutrition D supplementations with out asking me any questions about my existence. She would in straight forward words favor them if I actually have a deficiency which i do not. Sorry about the rant! purely wanted to percentage my personal tale about a doctor. i am going to not in any respect agenda with him back.

definately ask the doctor before you try it. these days there are great formula's out there. i would highly recomend carnation goodstart, i gave it to my son who had a cronic spit up problem that combined with the thickening diet fixed his problem. i was fead cows milk from birth because my mother (grandmother, adopted) couldn't aford formula. my mother in-law was given goats milk from birth then eventually cows milk. she was the youngest of 7 kids and her mother went through menapause soon after she was born.

do not give unpasturized goat milk to an infant- thier system can not tolerate it and is suspectable to the organisms and unable to digest them- PASTURIZE it first!!!!
usually the child is unable to handle it untill about age 2, after that they love it

NO! Infants should not be given the ilk of another being until after one year. If you absolutely CANNOT (not will not, but cannot) breastfeed, then you can use formula, but only in cases where is is medically and physically impossible to breastfeed, not just becuase you don't want to.

My youngest boy could drink only goat's milk, due to allergies.
I don't remember if we diluted it or not. He is 45 yrs old now. Sorry I can't help you more.
My best
