I would discourage raw goats milk for two major points. One is from an
infectious
 standpoint. A wide variety of diseases have been transmitted via
unpasturized animal milks. And the last thing this child needs is something
like camphylobacter or brucelosis. The other is goats milk is deficient in
folate, and megaloblastic anemia related to goats milk consumption use to be
a popular stump the medical student/resident type of case presentation. Some
commercial brands are folate fortified.
