straight from shaun goaters wang

any news/views on......or is still that nasty dairy word.

my baby has an allergy to cows milk, and she costs me an arm and a leg in goats milk
i swear it would be cheaper for me to actually have a goat at home
i defo notice a difference between cows milk and goats milk- i'd go as far as saying i actually prefer the goats milk these days

I use a goat protein based formula for my son (50% of the time he gets an organic milk formula though).

It's easier to digest (less lactose). Goat farms tend to be less mass market oriented which often results in better quality milk.

our noisy neighbours have started selling it
but as a few of you have gone down the veggie protein route, i thought i would pop the question of why not gone down the goat-ein route

goat protein powder is expensive. Plus for me personally I prefer a plant based one. I've actually also been giving my son hemp protein and he's add rice protein powder a couple of times too. Always mixed in with food and not that much of it. Hemp maybe a heaped teaspoonful. He doesn't seem to mind.

Scott - your nightmare will be when he is 15 and comes home night after night with different takeaways! looooool

lol

I think nuture plays a big part so I doubt it. I didn't ever and my parents were not like I am hehe

My thinking so far for him (children in general) I think is about eating well 80-90% of the time then having better treats when the other kids do; parties etc (although some of the food at parties is a disgrace). There will be very little he'll not be allowed at all, just some things will be rarely eaten. Me & the wife don't eat meat that much so he'll not either; but when we do he will. That kind of thing.

It's an allergy related to the protein or the lactose? If it is the lactose, you can get pre-digested cow's milk, cheaper than goat's milk.

dunno tart tbh
she definitely has an egg sensitivity/allergy as we unfortunately found out when she nearly blew up
we noticed that milk caused severe eczema, so switched over to goat to see if that would alleviate the condition- it has 98%

she was too young to undergo sensitivity tests- so we need to take her back when she is nearly 3 before they will do anything really

we just keep her away from eggs and milk products
