Today, among children, intolerance to cow's milk is a common cause. Cow's milk has an alternative - goat milk, which has many advantages. Scientists have done a lot of research, during which it was found that most children who do not tolerate cow milk tolerate goat milk well. Portability is explained by the fact that the proteins of this milk are close to the proteins of human milk. Therefore, doctors began to recommend the use of goat's milk in baby food.
Physicians began to search in the milk of a goat substitute for mother's milk in the late 19th century. During the research it was found out that goats do not suffer from tuberculosis, brucellosis and other "cow" diseases. Attention was paid to the composition of milk, it turned out that the composition of goat milk is ideal for feeding babies.
Goat's milk does not contain protein, which is found in cow's milk and causes allergies in children. At an early age, an allergy can lead to atonic dermatitis. Later allergies can cause bronchial asthma. The use of goat's milk significantly reduces both the symptoms of the disease and the possibility of complications.
In addition, children with digestive disorders are better able to tolerate goat's milk than cow's milk. Moreover, children who are fed infant formulas in goat's milk, gain weight and grow no worse than children who are fed cow's milk.
Cow and goat milk contain the same trace elements, but their contents are different. In goat's milk, for example, the calcium content is more by 13%, vitamin B6 is 25% larger, vitamin A is 47% larger (which is necessary for small children), 134% more potassium. In milk, goat selenium is more by 27%, copper is more than 4 times. But in cow's milk, in comparison with goat's milk, vitamin B12 is more than 5 times, and folic acid is more than 10 times.
Unlike cow's milk, goat contains a little less lactose, which is good for children suffering from intolerance to milk sugar.
But in cow's milk there is more iron than in milk of goats. Although there is little iron in human milk, it is almost completely absorbed by the child's body.
Milk of goats contains fewer individual B vitamins and folic acid, which can not be said about cow's milk. Therefore, if the child is not one year old, in his diet, other than goat's milk, there must necessarily be other food.
Whatever it was, mother's milk will remain out of competition. The choice in children, artificial, suffering from increased sensitivity to the milk of the cow is small. After all, soy milk can also cause allergies in infants. Therefore, the most reliable option for replacing mother's milk is goat milk, or baby food, but based on goat milk.
Dairy milk of goats carries the energy of life. In the body, warm goat's milk is digested in 20 minutes, while digestion of cow's milk takes 2-3 times longer. For the human body, raw milk is more useful than pasteurized milk. Since during pasteurization with high temperature most of the enzymes are destroyed, the result is chemically unbalanced milk.
Milk of goats itself has balanced itself so that it is a substitute for human milk and is suitable for feeding young children.
Goat's milk has a remarkable feature - it has a beneficial effect on the digestive system (moreover, age is not important). In addition, it can improve the overall condition in various diseases.
Cream of milk goats are most suitable for feeding children, since they are the easiest. The cream is white, creams are useful, especially if the baby weighs less than normal.
As we saw, goat's milk is safer and more useful for young children. Nevertheless, in order to avoid irritation of the gastric mucosa and the development of anemia, it is not recommended to give goat's milk to infants. For breastfeeding it is better to use children's mixtures (it is possible and on goat's milk). One-year-old children can begin to give goat's milk instead of cow's milk (it is undesirable for the animal to get antibiotics or growth hormones).
