(This is not a flame btw, just an observation).

Every now and again on the Net some breastfeeding mother comes up with
the bizarre idea that goat's milk is better than formula (if EBM is not
possible) because it is "more natural" and "better for babies". The
response I feel like giving (but don't) is that there is nothing natural
about feeding the young of one species on another species' milk and yes,
goat's milk is better for babies - baby goats! Maybe it's confusion over
the word "kid" ?
