Nanny Goat Milk Infant Nutrition

We know that breast is best for babies, but when it is time for weaning, problems may start to occur as some babies find cow's milk hard to digest.

Cows milk, (even if organic) is not suitable for all infants and children and we now realise that there are significant differences which set goat's milk apart from cow's milk. For example, New Zealand goat milk contains very low levels of alpha-s1-casein, which is the main casein protein in cow's milk. Alpha-s1-casein is believed to be the main cow's milk protein responsible for eliciting allergic reactions such as respiratory and dermatological conditions.

What are the benefits of Goats Milk?

There are important immunological differences between goat and cow's milk proteins enabling goat milk to be used successfully for some infants and children with sensitivity to cow's milk protein.

Goat's milk promotes gut health and reduces inflammation and permeability in the gut. It has high natural levels of nucleotides which provide gastro-intestinal and metabolism benefits.

GoodnessDirect recommend the Nanny Infant Nutrition formula of goats milk. This is produced from the milk of free range New Zealand goats raised without the use of stimulants, hormones or growth-enhancing drugs. Nanny is also sucrose-free and has no added glucose syrups. It is fortified and modified to ensure that the appropriate nutritional needs of infants are being met.

Nanny can be used by older children and adults too, and can be used as milk replacement in cooking.
