I believe it says on the site that "due to the honey content this recipe
is for infants aged 1 year old or more". Then says that bf is always
the best choice, and under 1 year to see your HCP for info. on what to
feed.
I think in some sense this is good, because this is implying that we sub
(if absolutely necessary) this goat milk "formula" for an over-1-year
old instead of BREAST MILK...thus implying that children over 1 should
still (most of the time) be nursing and getting HUMAN milk, not cow's
milk!
