Hi, I heard that goat's milk is better than cow's, is there any scientific proof on that?

Both goat’s milk and cow’s milk offer important nutrients for growing children, but they do have some differences. Scientific studies suggest that goat’s milk may form a softer curd in the stomach, which can make it easier to digest for some babies. It also has naturally smaller fat globules and a slightly different protein structure, which may be gentler on sensitive tummies. However, when it comes to overall nutrition, both goat’s milk and cow’s milk (when properly fortified in infant formulas) can support healthy growth and development. There isn’t conclusive scientific evidence that goat’s milk is better than cow’s milk for all children - it really depends on the individual child's needs, tolerance, and dietary requirements. As always, it's best to consult your pediatrician to decide which option is most suitable for your little one.
