Healthy Homemade Baby Formula

[benshelpmeet]

We started giving Melody goat milk in addition to her Nursing at around 4 months, I am 44 and the baby seemed to need more milk than I was producing. She has done great on fresh goats milk in addition to Nursing.

Our goats are pregnant and one quit giving milk this week and the other gives a little over 2 cups a day.

What to do? Well my friend found a great recipe and it will double our milk supply, we only need 3 or 4 cups (8oz) a day.

It calls for rice milk, you can buy organic Rice Dream, or make your own rice milk.


Rice Milk (makes 2 cups)

2 1/2 c cooked rice

2 1/2 c distilled water

Blend on low, then strain through cheese cloth.


Baby Formula (milk)

2 c goat milk

2 c rice milk ( organic Rice Dream)

1 Tb Black Strap Molasses

1 Tb liquid acidophilus (I just open up a capsule ''powder'')

1 Tb flax seed oil or coconut oil (I use coconut oil)

Blend on low...Make only one batch at a time you do not want it to go bad before you can use it all.

Note: You can add to this if you want to,

1 tsp liquid Vit C

1 tsp liquid CalMag

1/8 tsp powdered wheat germ

16 drops of trace minerals

I did not choose to add these last ingredients to mine.

You can warm, but do not heat.

Enjoy!

I see you wrote this a while ago, but I want to add, that I couldn't breast feed our son, and fed him raw goats milk, whey, liquid vitamins and nutritional yeast.

He got his first cold at almost a year old and his second at 19 months old... Other then that, he has never been sick and is very healthy.

We added no sugar at all.

I have to look up the exact recipe if anyone is interested, I will.
