Re: found milk, should I give it to my feverish daughter?

[Guest guest]

The grassy taste is a sign of a high-quality milk. Since you know it's excellent milk, in my view, it's probably the best "medicine" you could give her. If she handles pasteurized, that's a good sign.

They often give it to babies intolerant of anything else.....

But you must decide.

Hi everybody,I have been looking for quite a while for some milk and I finally got some on Saturday! It is nuibian goatmilk, located about 45 minutes away. I was eager to try some. It was nice and sweet and creamy, with a slight taste of what I would guess was alfalfa pellets or hay. These goats do not exist solely on grazing, because the climate they live in is pretty sparse. They do have free acess to hay though. I had some more on Sunday and today. No problems with digestion so far. I was wondering about something though. My three year old daughter spent the holiday with my parents mostly, because I had to work. She ate so much candy before I got there to intercept. My parents don't get it. I have to work on Sunday, and I have no other childcare options. By the time I got her home, she had a fever, and is still slightly feverish this morning. Any thoughts on giving her some of her first milk? On one hand I think the milk might help her, but if she is already feverish should I give her something she's never had before? She has had pasturized goatmilk with no problems.

For what it is worth, I have 9 children and have no qualms about giving them

raw milk if they aren't feeling good if they ask for it. If they are

especially mucousy with a cold or something I like to encourage them to

drink water or juice instead, though. Yogurt would likely be a better

choice for a sick one, but like I said, we'

ve given them milk just fine. Colleen

Thats good to know about the grassy flavor. I'm enjoying it myself. The

children I saw at the place looked exceptionally healthy and sturdy.

Thanks Colleen for your experience. I bet you have a lot of experience, not

to mention patience!
