Babies (up to one year) should never have cow's milk. Breast milk is best
and when that is not an option formula is usually the second choice. I think
this is pretty standard for this country (US) - most docs will tell parents
no cows milk for one year.
She said it makes sense when you
consider that cows milk is designed for a baby of 80 to 100 lbs with
multiple stomachs, whereas a human baby is maybe 5 to 15 lbs. A baby goat
weights 4 to 6 lbs at birth (my guess from holding them) and would be much
more compatible to a human baby.
