Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hello, My wife is concerned about goat milk fresh or otherwise not having enough folic acid in it for her son. She was told that cows milk has 10 times the folic acid that goats milk does. Of course this was buy her pediatrition who told her not to let her son drink the fresh goat milk because it wasn't safe. She's gotton past the fresh part, the folic acid part is her only concern Her son is allergic to cows milk so I bought goats instead of a cow. My only concern is I did'nt buy enough goats, the boys and I can drink more than my girls are producing right now. Any information on goat milk and folic acid would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Greg, All I know is that our pediatrician told us the same thing. He wasn't concerned about the raw milk as long as we knew it was from clean animals and place(which we had our own) but he suggested using a folic acid supplement if we used goat milk. My wife wasn't producing enough when they baby goat about 6 months old so we supplemented with GM. --- gregshafer77 wrote: > Hello, > My wife is concerned about goat milk fresh or > otherwise not having > enough folic acid in it for her son.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 in the formula recipe in Nourishing Traditions, it is recommended that you add nutritional yeast to provide folic acid if you are using goat milk. > > Hello, > My wife is concerned about goat milk fresh or otherwise not having > enough folic acid in it for her son.
