5 best goat milk mixtures: features, which one to choose, reviews

Increasingly, newly minted parents prefer dry mixtures with goat milk. When breastfeeding becomes impossible, the question arises as to which alternative will be the safest and most beneficial for the baby. In terms of protein composition, goat milk has a lot in common with breast milk.

It is not recommended to give pure milk from cows and goats to children - in the first stages of life it will not be absorbed as well as mother's. In infant formulas, the concentration of substances is most optimal, and in combination with trace elements and vitamins, this product can become a full-fledged nutritional option for the proper development of the baby. We have studied the 5 most popular brands of goat milk powder and are ready to tell you about their features.

Rating TOP 5 mixtures with goat milk

I analyzed the market and identified the most popular goat milk-based formulas among Russian buyers. The five most popular brands are as follows:

"Kabrita 1 GOLD"

Instant mixture based on natural goat milk with vitamins and microelements. The patented DigestX complex is maximally adapted to the fat composition of breast milk. It helps to improve the work of the baby's digestive tract, softens stools and eliminates constipation, and also promotes the absorption of calcium. The mixture also contains probiotics and prebiotics, nucleotides to strengthen the immune system, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for the development of brain and visual functions.

The product does not contain cow's milk, emulsifiers or sweeteners. The mixture is made from our own raw materials, which allows you to trace the entire process from feeding goats to the final stage of production of the finished product. Osmolality: 300 ml / osmol per liter. The shelf life is 547 days.

They began to give "Cabrita" to their daughter at the age of 1 month, she eats it with great pleasure. The child suffered from colic and constipation for a long time, there were rashes, only suppositories and mini-enemas helped. With the transition to this mixture, everything went pretty quickly, the baby recovered and we are very pleased with it.

"Nanny 1"

Powdered mixture based on whole goat milk from New Zealand. The product contains prebiotics - inulin and oligofructose, which restore digestion and improve microbiota. The composition also includes fatty acids, sweetener and prebiotic maltodextrin, minerals and a complex of vitamins that are important for the full development of the baby.

Contains soy lecithin and citric acid. Osmolality: 310 ml / osmol per liter. Expiration date: 912 days.

A very good mixture with a pleasant smell and taste.Before that, they took another one, the child was sprinkled with everything from her, after switching to "Nanny" everything went away, the colic disappeared and even sleep returned to normal. Of the shortcomings, I would name the high cost and inconvenient location of the measuring spoon (you have to look for it for a long time inside, which is not very convenient and hygienic).

"MAMAKO 1 Premium"

Children's loose formula based on goat milk with an approximate fat and amino acid composition to breast milk. Contains the plant pigment lutein and polyunsaturated acids, which contribute to the development of vision. Prebiotics and bifidobacteria have been added to restore the intestinal microflora. L-carnitine helps to improve metabolism and protein absorption. Nucleotides strengthen the immune system.

Contains soy lecithin emulsifier and maltodextrin sweetener. Osmolality: 300 ml / osmol per liter. Expiration date: 24 months.

My daughter is 5 months old and has been eating formula regularly since the second week. Everything is just wonderful, we do not know any colic, the stool is regular, he eats with pleasure. It is a pity that it is not sold in all stores (we usually order it on the Internet) and the price is exorbitant.

"MD Mil Goat 1"

An adapted goat milk formula for infant feeding in the first six months of life. The product contains a complex of vitamins and minerals, which fully meets the needs of the baby's body. To prevent dysbiosis and improve digestion, prebiotics are present in the composition. Nutrients ensure the full formation of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, and also participate in fat metabolism.

Osmolality: 278 ml / osmol per liter. Whey to casein ratio: 60:40. Expiration date: 730 days.

This mixture suited us, no allergies and side effects. The taste is pleasant: does not taste bitter and smells like real goat's milk. The price is also pleasing in comparison with competitors. It is absorbed very well, with no problems with a tummy.

"GOATTINY 1"

Infant formula based on whole goat milk with the addition of sheep's milk. The product has a similar fat structure to breast milk, is easily digested and normalizes the digestive tract. The nucleotides in goat milk help to strengthen the innate immunity. Dietary fiber from chicory root supports the health of the intestinal microflora.

Osmolality: 310 ml / osmol per liter. Expiration date: 18 months.

The composition of the mixture is very good, without palm oil, which is important to me. The child tolerates well, other mixtures constantly regurgitated. He goes to the toilet stably, no constipation. Stir thoroughly to dissolve in water. Of the minuses, I would single out a small package, it is consumed very quickly.

It is better to pour the dry mixture packed in a box or bag into an airtight container after opening. It can be a jar with a tight lid made of food-grade plastic or glass. So you will protect the product from premature spoilage.It is recommended to store the jar with the mixture in a dark, well-ventilated area.

Best lists

Goat milk mixtures are considered the most comfortable for the baby's digestive system. Based on the conducted research, I selected the three most worthy brands that were able to get ahead of the competition in certain parameters and criteria.

"Kabrita 1 GOLD" - own production and unique composition

Among all manufacturers of infant formula based on goat milk, only Cabrita can boast of its own farm production. Each can of the mixture has a unique code that can be scanned and tracked the production step by step, down to a specific batch of milk and the name of the farm. The specially developed Digest X fat complex has a balanced composition, as close as possible to breast milk. It enriches the baby's microflora, improves calcium absorption, and promotes gentle and regular emptying. There is nothing superfluous in the composition, including sugar and maltodextrin, so the mixture is suitable even for children with diabetes.

"MAMAKO 1 Premium" - a rich vitamin and mineral complex

The Spanish manufacturer produces custom-made infant formula specifically for the Russian consumer. As part of "Mamako" added bifidobacteria and prebiotics for comfortable digestion of the baby, lutein for the formation of vision, nucleotides and polyunsaturated acids to strengthen the immune system. This mixture is often recommended by pediatricians for babies in poor health who are quite sick. Customers note that the mixture is well tolerated and children enjoy eating.

"MD Mil Goat 1" - low osmolality and affordable price

One of the most budgetary options in today's rating is another Spanish manufacturer that produces mixtures for the Russian market. The product has the lowest osmolality rate among all today's participants, which means that the load on the kidneys and liver of the baby is the lowest. The mixture has a balanced composition with all basic vitamins and microelements, contains prebiotics and fatty acids. In terms of price-quality ratio, the product will be the most optimal for babies with a mild form of lactase deficiency.

What to look for when choosing a powdered infant formula

When choosing a baby powder, the most reasonable decision would be to follow the recommendations of a pediatrician. It is the doctor who will be able to choose the most optimal nutrition, taking into account the age and individual needs of the child's body. Nevertheless, being a savvy parent in this matter will not be superfluous, therefore, before buying, you must take into account some basic rules:

• • If you have been prescribed a certain product, carefully study the information on the package. First of all, make sure of the relevance of the baby's age category: it is usually indicated by numbers (“1” - from birth to six months, “2” from six months to a year, etc.).
  • Newborns need to take only adapted milk formulas - these are the ones that are as close as possible to breast milk in composition. For infants with poor health and digestive problems, specialized medicated formulas are usually prescribed.
  • If the child suffers from flatulence and often regurgitates, it is usually recommended to take formulas that contain starch. For constipation, the presence of probiotics and prebiotics is important. In case of intolerance to cow's milk, a diet based on casein and milk whey is prescribed.
  • As part of the infant formula, the amount of protein should not exceed 15 g per liter of product. Protein abuse in the first year of a child's life can lead to obesity later on.
  • Pay attention to the proportions of whey protein and casein. It is important that there is more serum in the composition.
  • The presence of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in baby food is very important.They not only help to strengthen the immune system, but also stimulate the development of vision and brain cells.
  • Formulas are best purchased at a pharmacy or baby store, but not at a supermarket. This is a recommendation from the experts of Roskachestvo, which should not be neglected, so as not to run into a fake or a mixture with a dubious composition.
