The benefits of Goat Milk vs. Cow Milk
Goat milk has always been a bit of a trade secret among moms and is known for its naturally easy to digest properties. Kabrita has harnessed the gentle benefits of goat milk into our line of Goat Milk Foods, designed for babies and toddlers.
There are a number of important differences between cow milk and goat milk. Is goat milk extraordinary? We think so!
Naturally easy to digest, goat milk is an ideal protein base for baby formula. Like cow milk, goat milk must also be adapted and fortified to meet the specific nutritional needs of little ones.
At Kabrita, we walk through this process carefully and mindfully, using the highest quality, European ingredients with no GMOs, crafting a safe and gentle formula, with a mild and sweet taste.
With a casein composition that leads to a smaller, softer and looser curd in the tummy, and superior digestibility than cow milk, Kabrita Goat Milk Formula is naturally easy to digest and gentle on tiny tummies.
Unlike goat milk, Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is fortified with additional nutrients, and contains 22 vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, iron, and DHA.
Made with high quality, Dutch goat milk, Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is the only formula to be certified glyphosate-residue free.
Cow milk sensitivity may encompass the delayed, mild to moderate symptoms associated with cow milk.

Lactose Intolerance
Lactose is often blamed for tummy troubles in little ones, but it’s the primary carbohydrate source in breast milk. Lactose is identical, regardless of source (breast milk, cow milk or goat milk). According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, lactose intolerance is uncommon under 2-3 years of age. Lactose intolerance should be assessed and diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is not suitable for children with galactosemia and/or congenital alactasia.
Cow Milk Protein Allergy
Cow milk protein allergy can be a serious health problem and affects 2-3% of children under 1 year of age. Symptoms may be immediate or delayed, and may include moderate to severe symptoms such as hives, vomiting, wheezing, severe eczema, and/or blood in stool. Cow milk protein allergy should be assessed and diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is not suitable for children diagnosed with cow milk protein allergy (CMPA).
