Hmm, wikipedia seems to suggest that science is against giving goat's milk to infants ... Two questions:

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Apr 29 '12, 19:20

1) is it likely that they mean unpasteurized? The kind I'm planning on getting is pasteurized, afaik.
2) does 21 months count as "infant"? I don't think it does, because he gets plenty of vitamins from other parts of his diet.

Responses:

I must have missed something. what is going on? 2 years is certaily not an infant. -- nm - loosi Apr 29, 19:32 1
- One can never be certain with Wikipedia on the job! Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:33

- fwiw, I am severely lactose intolerant, but goat's milk doe\s not bother me. that said, - loosi Apr 29, 19:35 4
  - I wonder if this (the reaction I had as a kid) was actually a casein intolerance -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:36 3
    - all i know is that for some people with milk issues, goat's milk causes problems - tRuMaN Apr 29, 20:05 1
      - it's weird, one time when I was aroun 26 I got terrible food poisoning, just awful, and I couldn't drink milk for about 5 years... - Remlik Apr 29, 20:36
    - talk to tru - that's what he has. -- nm - loosi Apr 29, 20:00
- Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:33
From what I have read, it is not recommended that you give your child cows milk for the first two years, although some sites say first year. - kelly Apr 29, 19:26 1
- They both have lactose, so it might ... but we are going to try to get him off all bovine dairy as an experiment - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:30
I would not make that decision based on something I read on wiki -- nm - Bacon, via Droid Apr 29, 19:22
I wouldn't consider a nearly 2 year old kid an infant. -- nm - Qale Apr 29, 19:21 6
- I should have looked it up on Wikipedia. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:23 5
  - "definitions vary between birth and three years of age". Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:27 4
    - to me, "infant" ends around 6 months. -- nm - loosi Apr 29, 19:33
    - I'd move on to the term 'toddler' at or around 2. -- nm - Qale Apr 29, 19:29 2
      - He's definitely in the toddler stage, I was just concerned about a medical definition. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 19:35 1
        
        I believe around 4 they become Masters of their Universe. -- nm - Qale Apr 29, 19:39
