Out of lurkdom for a few minutes to ask a question.  I was following up with
one of the adoptive moms that I work with.  Mom has never produced milk.
Baby nursed for 5 months and is turning a year old this month.  She asked me
how long she should keep the baby on formula.  I could not think of any
studies that have shown long term benefit of formula over either cow milk or
goat milk.  I know there are some deficiencies on some of the nutrients in
both of the milks vs. the formulas but are any of you aware of any benefits
of formula over cow or goat milk for a child over one year of age.
