I started weaning my son onto one bottle of S-26 Formula a day so I could stop pumping BM for him full time. I found that every bottle that he had, his eczema would break out very badly and he would be irritable and scream or cry. A friend
of mine who is a naturopath suggested going onto Goat Formula. He is now on two bottles of Karicare Got Formula a day and hardly any eczema remains!
Goat's milk formula is now recognised as being safe for newborn babies. It may alsobbe an alternative for babies who are found to be allergic to cow or soy formula.

Based on scientific evidence, literature and experience of product use, goat milk infant formula can confer several benefits to infants. Babies can be "more settled" due to advantages of goat milk infant formula.
Key benefits
DGC’s Goat Milk Infant Formula has a range of characteristics which can provide benefits for infant feeding and enable babies to be “more settled”.
· A higher proportion of medium chain fatty acids, which promote digestion and utilisation of fats.
· Reduced alpha-s1-casein content results in a softer curd which is more rapidly digested and easier for an infant to tolerate.
· Enhanced micro-nutrient absorption.
· Bioactive factors promoting gut development and function, with benefits for gut maturation, reduction/prevention of inflammation, and aiding intestinal repair.
The combination of these characteristics in a single natural food enables their natural synergies to be realised. Infant formula manufacturers and regulators are increasingly looking to more complex modifications and supplementation of cow milk and soy derivatives to produce breastmilk substitutes that more closely match human milk.
