This is info I saved from a note from Jan Barger a while back.

" So, I contacted the Meyenberg Farms
in CA, producers of most of the goat's milk in the US (I may have spelled it
wrong), and what I learned about goat's milk as a substitute for breastmilk
did not make me exceedingly comfortable.  To wit:  Protein (per 100 grams)
3.6 (cow's milk 3.3, human 1.0) Carbs 4.5 Human 6.9; calories about the same.
 Phosphorus 111 (Human 14), Calcium 134 (Human 32) Magnesium 14 (Human 3)
Postassium -204, (human 51).  There is a formula that can be made out of the
powdered goat milk:  12 TBSP of goat milk to 36 oz of water to 4 1/2 TBLSP of
corn syrup.  However, it is still out of whack as far as the micronutrients
are concerned, and still has way too much protein."

From this info, I see goat's milk as an inappropriate food for babies.
