Thinking About Switching to Goat Milk. Need Recommendations for Top Brands
Hi! Posting for my wife and I. I apologize if all this is TMI, I don’t use Reddit super often, but could use some help!
My wife and I recently transitioned our little guy from breastmilk/pumping to formula. Pumping was becoming really exhausting for her, and she was also struggling with supply, so we made the switch about 2.5 weeks ago.
We knew there would probably be an adjustment period, but we’re still noticing some tummy issues and discomfort with Similac. We were hoping things would start to settle as he got used to formula, but it doesn’t really seem to be improving the way we expected and we are thinking he may be a little sensitive to cow milk.
We’re now considering trying a goat milk based formula since we’ve been seeing it may be a little easier to digest for some babies. After doing some research, we’re leaning toward Kabrita, but I’d love to hear from other parents who have used it or have tried other goat milk alternatives.
I know formula can be a trial and error process, but we just want to make the most thoughtful decision for him.
Did you notice any difference with gas, fussiness, spit up, or overall digestion after switching? How long did it take your baby to adjust?
We’re also going to check in with our pediatrician, but would really appreciate any real-world experiences or recommendations!
