Organic Goat Milk Formulas

It can be quite challenging to find a healthy formula if your little one, especially when showing signs of a cow’s milk allergy or sensitivity, as most of the available baby formulas are cow based. Over the past years there are a growing number of goat milk infant formula on the market. In fact, many parents choose to use goat milk formula even if there are no known allergies or intolerances to cow’s milk.

The benefits of Organic Goat milk formulas

Milk from cows and goats are quite alike in many respects, but there are some nutritional differences between the two. European Organic cow milk formulas are designed to be as close to breast milk as possible. Consisting of the correct proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins and minerals. With goat formula it is exactly the same, but they have an advantage. The natural protein in goat milk formulas are smaller and easier to digest for babies. Your little one has a digestive system that is growing a lot and maturing in the beginning year of their lives. Because the milk protein particles are smaller they are less likely to irritate their sensitive digestive systems, helping to revert symptoms like constipation, gas, and cramps. Besides this, the protein also has a softer curd when reaching the stomach. This can decrease the chance of regurgitation and spit up.

Allergy vs. intolerance

If your baby is diagnosed with a milk protein allergy, unfortunately, goat milk formulas will likely still pose a problem, as the proteins are very similar. A study review done in 2016 found, however, that some people with cow’s milk allergies may tolerate goat milk formulas. If your baby is or shows a sensitivity (rather than allergic) to cow’s milk protein the European organic goat milk formulas may be a good fit for your little one. Your pediatrician can help you determine whether goat milk formula would be a safe and healthy option for your baby.
