I've been catching up on lactnets, and am intrigued with the goat's milk thread. A client of mine, diabetic since childhood and unaccountably without milk with her second child, has been able to keep him on donor milk so far (he's 7 1/2 months now, and starting solids). But her local sources are dwindling. (She's been *deeply* grateful for the single-source cartonful someone here connected her with.) Since he's older, she's looking for possible ways to piece out the donor milk with something non-cow. Could the goat milk formula be a reasonable *supplemental* beverage for this particular boy, for whom anything that smacks of cow could be a real problem? In what proportion (if any) with donor milk might modified goat milk be acceptable? Other thoughts? Feel free to e-mail me either on lactnet or privately. -- Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC Ithaca, NY www.wiessinger.baka.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
