Got Milk?

Now that soy milk is no longer an option, rice and goat's milk are next in line. I just started the goat's milk this week and so far he has reacted well to it. I am still nursing, but would like to wean soon if he can get enough of the right nutrients.

The biggest negative about goat milk is the lack of folic acid and B12 (oh, and the stinky burps and expensive price tag!) We'll be supplementing also with rice milk since it is relatively cheap and is a source of calcium.

This site has nutrient comparisons for cow, formula, goat and human milk...
