Goat milk
What should I know? It seems impossible to find goat milk in stores and online…it’s always out of stock. I went to the Farmers Market last weekend and they were selling some. I’m currently giving her Kendamil—ByHeart gave her a rash so I’m just trying to figure out something where she isn’t spitting up so much. I have to supplement with breastmilk so she can gain.

If you're looking for raw goat milk, you can find local vendors here: https://www.realmilk.com/farm-directory/wpbdm-region/texas/
If pasteurized is what you are looking for, Trader Joe's typically carries it!
With both sellers, there is always a dip in production when it gets cold during the transition to Fall, but it can be freezed and thawed for those seasons.
idk the first thing about giving a baby goats milk… does it have to be pasteurized? Do you add water to make it less potent? Is fresh goat milk okay as opposed to the formula goat milk? Idk.,
There are differences in opinions on nearly all of your questions! You will have to decide what is right for you.
Pasteurization is pretty controversial - my family personally only consumes raw. (https://www.realmilk.com/safety/)
Formula goat milk will always have additives like preservatives because it has to in order to be shelf stable. There's pros and cons to both - one being the preservatives will make the formula last longer. But it's not necessarily healthy for baby.

thank you, that’s really helpful. I’ll do some research on it.
Depending on your babies age, it is formula until 10-12 months. Including goat formula.
