I would ask your doctor first or your health visitor maybe your baby have got a allergy you need to get that sorted first cause the goats milk will mask the allergy

goats milk is the best for your baby (other then breast milk) its way better then cows. its the closest thing you can get to breast milk. my daughter drank it as a baby. if you can get farm fresh goats milk its the best but a powder or store bought is great too!

My son was put on goats milk at 3 months as I was unable to breast feed any longer and he was allergic to formula. Use fresh goats milk which is available in most supermarkets these days. I bought mine straight form a goat farm and it came frozen. If you are really concerned ask your GP or health visitor first.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with goat formula. You could also try soy formula. Also infant formula can be given from birth. Just select the right product for your child’s age.
Babies are pretty tough little things and they will usually thrive on any good quality infant formula. Your infant has developed a rash so sure – change the formula and see how it goes.
Really the biggest battle is ensuring you get enough sleep each night so you can function properly. Little kids can feel it if you’re all stressed out. So if the baby’s got a rash, and it could be itchy and making them cry, then change the formula and see how it goes.

It is best to wait a year before you try any other milks with a baby

My little sister had problems with dairy which she out grew, she had cows milk in a baby bottle so she started when she stopped breast feeding and they found there was a problem

Speak to your doctor first – are you sure it’s the milk? It’s just as likely to be your washing powder.
