5 facts and fables about goat milk for your baby

Goat milk bottle feeding is suitable for babies that are allergic to cow milk

Fable. Most people think that goat milk is a suitable alternative for people who are allergic to cow milk but the opposite is true. With a cow milk allergy, the immune system reacts to a certain type of protein the milk contains. Many experts think that αs1-casein proteins cause this allergic reaction. While goat milk contains a relatively low amount of these proteins, there is still a high risk of an allergic cross-reaction. Fortunately, a medically determined cow's milk allergy is relatively rare, certainly in comparison with people who are hypersensitive to cow's milk. These people have difficulty digesting the proteins in cow's milk and therefore goat milk may be a suitable alternative for this group.
