Why Do Many Parent’s Prefer Goat’s Milk to Cow’s Milk?
1. MORE DIGESTIBLE - Goat’s milk formula contains more short and medium fatty acids, which in turn makes it easier for your baby to digest. The difference between this and cow’s milk is that cow’s milk has longer fatty acids. This makes more work for your baby’s digestive system
2. LESS ALLERGENIC - Milk and other formulas create curds by reacting with your baby’s stomach acid. Some formulas create hard curds while others create soft curds. This has an effect on how it passes through your baby’s stomach. Goat's milk formula creates a softer curd, which makes it easier for your baby to digest.
3. LESS LACTOSE - While both goat's milk formula and other kinds contain lactose, goat’s milk has somewhat less (about a half a percent difference). The lactose content in cow’s milk can sometimes contribute to excess gas, bloating, or other digestive issues.
4. BOOSTS IMMUNE SYSTEM - Goat's milk formula contains selenium! This is a great mineral to help support the immune system and give the baby that extra boost they need. It makes sense that any mother would want to protect their child from sicknesses.
5. NOURISHMENT - Goat's milk formula is filled with various nutrients that are essential to your baby’s growth and development. It contains nearly 35% of calcium requirements, And, that’s just in one cup! It also is a fantastic source of riboflavin, phosphorous, vitamin B-12, protein, potassium, and more!
6. CALCIUM - Goat’s milk is very high in calcium.
7. METABOLISM - If your baby is having digestive issues or has limitations regarding absorbing vitamins and minerals, goat's milk formula can help boost and support their metabolism. Goat’s milk has been shown to increase the ability to metabolise minerals like iron and copper, particularly among those with other digestive issues.
8. INFLAMMATION - Goat’s milk is smoother in many ways than cow’s milk, and it doesn’t cause inflammation. If your baby is suffering from bowel inflammation, goat’s milk is the obvious choice. Between the nutritional benefits and the digestive ease, goat's milk formula may be a great choice for your baby.
