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.
