Excerpt:
This 2014 study showed comparable healthy infant development between those fed goat’s milk formulas and those fed cow’s milk formulas.
More studies on goat’s milk are needed to expand upon nutritional advantages of using it for infants. But a 2019 study suggest goat’s milk-based formulas may more closely mimic human breast milk when it comes to a handful of protective prebiotics called oligosaccharides, which help promote gut health and even immune development.
One thing to note: The nutritional content of goat’s milk-based formulas will differ by brand, so review your formula choice with your pediatrician before feeding it to your baby. Then, you can feel confident it meets standard nutritional and safety requirements. /truncated More: Nutritional adequacy of goat milk infant formulas for term infants: a double-blind randomised controlled trial | British Journal of Nutrition | Cambridge Core
