Goat's milk is meant for kids  BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA  (I couldn't resist that
one).   According to my Nutrition text books it can be used as ABM.  It is
deficient in folic acid, so " infants recieveing goats milk as their major
source of calories shold recieve folic acid supplements". It did not say
anything about diluting it, as must be done with cow's milk.  BTW goat's milk
has more essential fatty acids than cow's milk nad more medium and short
chain fatty acids.  This may make it more readily digestible than cow's milk.
