Patient's question:
My baby has been drinking goat milk, but he doesn't grow much in height and weight. He doesn't eat cow milk powder much either. Previous treatment and effects: He gets sick often when drinking goat milk. What kind of assistance is needed: How can he grow well, whether it's drinking milk or something else?Doctor's answer:
Goat milk, although it is also a type of milk, does not excel in providing nutrients that are particularly beneficial for human development. Breast milk, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive and high-quality nutritional profile, including immunoglobulins, which enhance immunity.If you choose to give goat milk, you can gradually introduce a little other formula milk to help adjust the quantities slowly. Over time, you can reduce the amount of goat milk and increase the formula milk. It's important not to make abrupt changes to your child's diet. Additionally, a two-year-old can already eat regular meals, which can replace a significant portion of their milk intake.
This advice is in response to the question, "Can a two-year-old child stop drinking formula milk? Can they drink soy milk instead?" I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
