I really could have used it with my third child, but we made do at the time with something similar but inferior.<br /><br />For <i>b. infantis</i>, Natren now has a goat-milk based strand! It is a little more expensive than the cow strand, but it works great. Thank you for the recipe!

The reason I dilute the goat milk is because it is so nutritent-dense that it can be difficult on the kidneys full strength.

As the baby gets older, the amount of water can be reduced. When the baby is over 12 months, he should be able to handle the goat milk full strength, as my son has!

Keep us posted!

I'm curious about why the goat milk is diluted? And at what point can you switch to just straight milk (no additives, no dilution, etc). I’ll bet this taste a whole lot better than formula, too!

I am feeding my daughter a version of the goats milk formula... she fell a couple percentiles when she got sick this year. I've noticed either the lactose or nutritional yeast is contributing to nasal congestion. She is 13 months now and was on commercial formula for her first 10 months with a little breast milk... At her age do you know if the sugars are still necessary (I know that most people have their toddlers on just whole milk).<br /><br />Thank you!

Thought I would tell you about my experience. I'm a grandmother now and raised 6 children. While nursing our 4th sometime during his 3rd month my milk must have started decreasing and decreased so much that our son started loosing weight and then my milk suddenly just stopped. We went and got goats milk from a gentlemen we knew and using straight goats milk and adding black strap mollassed with it he filled out fast and was a thriving chubby little boy before long. Today he's tall and healthy and will be turning 28 this summer! Just read your Goat Milk Formula Recipe. Thought I would tell you about my experience. I’m a grandmother now and raised 6 children.
