Can newborns drink goat milk formula?

Newborns can consume goat milk formula, which is relatively purer and more easily absorbed than other types of formula. The nutrient composition of goat milk formula is also closer to that of human breast milk. Since newborns’ digestive systems are still immature and their gastrointestinal function remains weak, goat milk formula can be a suitable option. However, regardless of whether the formula is derived from goat’s milk or cow’s milk, it must be an infant-specific formulated (infant) formula—non-formulated milk is not appropriate for meeting infants’ growth and developmental needs.
