Hopefully she likes it! It's always good if they take a variety so you aren't stuck with only ONE OPTION </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goats-milk-vitamins#post-1563116 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:37:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1563116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh. Interesting, I had never heard that. We discussed alternative milks with J's doctor over a year ago and she said the best thing is to give him a variety so that he gets the nutrients and benefits of many different ones. We mostly give him almond or coconut milk, but he gets regular milk sometimes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/goats-milk-vitamins#post-1562987 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 12:12:05 +0000 blackbird 1562987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told our ped that we were doing goat's milk for awhile and she said that was great, but asked if it was fortified with vitamin B. I said it was, because i remember it saying fortified on the bottle. I checked....fortified with vitamin D, not B. I thought D was the big one, though! Crap! But even the cow's milk we have at home doesn't list a % of vitamin B. So now I can't tell what the deal is. </p> <p>What gives? I don't want to accidentally give E something that will make her lack in certain nutritional elements....</p> <p>I did see this:<br /> "Goat milk is lower, however, in folic acid and B12. Despite criticism of these shortcomings, the lower values are actually much closer to those found in human milk for infants, than is cow's milk."</p> <p>Do you supplement with vitamin B? </p>
