When it comes to feeding a newborn, few will argue that breast milk is best. However, there are times when this is not possible or not indicated. There are also higher levels of toxic chemicals in breast milk, and the impact of these toxic chemicals on the development of a breast-fed child is unknown. Chemicals such as the organochlorine pesticide DDT, dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzfurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls all accumulate in breast milk. Mothers can limit exposure of these chemicals to their nursing baby by avoiding dry cleaners and not wearing clothes that are dry cleaned, and limiting their intake of red meat, dairy (such as yogurt, cow’s milk and cheese), and fish, and eating a diet rich in organic fresh fruits and vegetables and safer proteins like tempeh, turkey and organic chicken and eggs.
Following is a naturopathic infant formula recipe that I use with my patients, particularly those that are currently formula fed and are presenting with digestive and skin-related conditions. Simply switching to this formula oftentimes resolves colic and skin rashes of unknown origin.
In the spirit of providing change for our children’s lives,

6 Scoops Powdered Goat Milk (84 grams)
36 oz Water

As baby matures during its first year, gradually increase goat milk powder to 8 scoops. Discontinue adding rice syrup (carbohydrates).
***Supplement with ChildLife Essential’s Liquid Multi Vitamin Mineral Supplement (or another high quality infant liquid multivitamin mineral supplement with vitamin D3).
Dosage Schedule:
- Up to 6 months of age: ½ teaspoon per day

I like that you mention goats milk..I agree with you as I believe this is the closest we can come to compatibility in human milk.. It is far easier for the newborn and the infant to digest. than cow’s, soy or any other substitute.
A few things however:
1. Goats milk in any form other than raw, is dangerous. It has been processed, heated and sythethic vitamins added to replace the ones that were naturally occuring (finding raw goats milk I realize could be difficult).
Te heating destroys the vital nutrients needed for the development of natural immunities against disease.
3. The pasteurization of milk was created to disguise the unclean dairy practices not to kill disease. The naturally occuring bacteria is vital for our bodies as this is what builds a strong immune system.
4. When recommending a multi-vitamin supplement it is important to educate parents on how to read labels.
The source of these ingredients, and what is left out. It is difficult if not impossible to find an un-heated, un-synthesized product in any health food store. In 30 years, I have never come across such a product.
