I thought I would share with everyone, the recipe I use to make goats milk formula.
With my last two babies, I really wanted to nurse them, and both of them ended up being tongue tide, they were not efficient at nursing. I tried hard to pump, but had not luck as my milk supply was already low. I tried about every thing heard of to boost my supply, but sadly nothing worked.
So in a attempt not to use commercial formula, it just sounds yucky! So processed, and things added that are not needed or that great for babies! And not to mention years ago, there was a recall on some commercial formula because it had traces of JET FUEL in it!!!! How does that even happen!
So when I had Sullivan, we ventured into goats milk formula, soon we ended up buying goats to have fresh raw milk on hand! There are a few different recipes for goats milk formula that I have found online and one that I got from my naturalpathy doctor. What I am using now is a mix of both.
For an 8oz bottle
4oz of Water(boiled or distilled)
4oz raw goats milk
1/4 tsp infant probiotics
1/4 tsp of Sunflower oil(Vitamin E)
1/4 tsp extra virgin olive oil(for monosaturated fats)
1/4 tsp of Cod liver oil(contains DHA,EPA & Omega-3)
1/4 tsp of Cod liver oil(contains DHA,EPA & Omega-3)
1/2 tsp virgin
coconut oil(this is important, as it contains lauric acid which is
a medium-chain fatty acid. It's an important antiviral, antifungal that's found
in breast milk)
1/2 tsp blackstrap molassses(this is different for each baby, more or less
depending on there stools, it helps with constipation, start with less, add more if needed. This provides B-vitamins, iron, trace
minerals)
1/4 tsp of agave nector or maple syrup(adds carbs, necessary for brain growth)
mix all together and let them enjoy!
I have just lately been reading on Kefir and the benefits of that. I found another recipe that
uses kefir, and I think I will be trying that soon and see how it works. I will update how it works for Sawyer.

Awesome of you to share this recipe! Not that I need it now but can refer people to it if needed! I was just telling someone how much better goat milk is than infant formula!! And I've personally watched him gobble that up. He LOVES it!!
:) Kiss that sweetie for me!
Hi. I just discovered your blog this morning in a random moment of blog-hopping. :) I'm a new user of kefir--bought my first kefir grains just a couple of weeks ago and have been making the kefir with raw cow's milk ever since. It is terrific and basically zero work. My baby (15 mos) recently had a runny nose that was turning gunky and I was afraid of ear/sinus infections. I offered him kefir in his oatmeal for a couple of mornings and the gunky stuff cleared right up. I was delighted. I whip it up with bananas and almonds several times a week for smoothies that are out of this world.
I'm glad your babies are thriving!!! I can't think of anything much worse that watching your baby suffer.
@Nicole-thanks for always leaving a comment! My hands are rarely free so I usually dont comment! ;)I gave him lots of kisses for you!
@aflyonmyhomeschoolwall- thanks for commenting. I gladto hear that you love the kefir and are experiencing the bennifits of it! I cant wait to try it. I have some in the works right now! I didnt have any acess to any kefir grains, so I am trying it with a powdered culter starter, I hope it comes out just the same as with the kefir grains! Thanks again for commenting! Hope you have a blessed week! Lindsey:)
