Kabrita non-GMO Goat Milk Formula* is naturally easy to digest and designed to maintain the natural comfort of your little ones during feeding transitions. Those transitions may include weaning & supplementing, changing formulas due to tummy troubles.
Currently, Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is available in the United States. We are not allowed to recommend this product for infants. Our Toddler Formula meets the FDA nutritional requirements for infant formula, however, it has not gone through the FDA evaluation process that is required for infant formula.
Kabrita Goat Milk Formula is naturally easy to digest and is enriched with vitamins and minerals growing toddlers need. Goat milk protein may be well tolerated by children with cow milk sensitivity. One of the key reasons is that goat milk protein forms a smaller and softer curd in the stomach compared to cow milk protein. This smaller and softer curd may result in less digestive discomfort caused by the ‘churn’ of breaking down larger and tougher cow milk proteins.
No. Kabrita Goat Milk Formula may be appropriate for children with cow milk sensitivity, but should not be used by children with a confirmed cow milk protein allergy. Cow milk protein allergy affects 2-3% of children under 6. These children should avoid goat milk because goat milk protein may also cause an allergic reaction. We encourage parents to work with a health care provider in order to determine whether it is an allergy or sensitivity. You can learn more about signs and symptoms of cow milk sensitivity on our blog.
Children with diagnosed lactose intolerance should not consume Kabrita products. All milk, including human milk and goat milk, contains lactose as the main carbohydrate source and lactose is molecularly identical in all milk. Many children do experience digestive discomfort related to cow milk consumption, however, lactose intolerance in infants and toddlers is rare. For more information, please visit our Lactose Intolerance and cow milk sensitivity pages.
Kabrita formula is not currently USDA organic. Non-GMO Kabrita formula is produced in Europe where strict regulations already limit the use of antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides, and govern animal welfare. Due to the already high standards in Europe, there is little need for and therefore availability of organic goat milk. You can learn more about our farms on our blog.
Kabrita Goat Milk Formula contains non-GMO soybean oil as part of its non-GMO plant-based fat blend. Our premium fat blend is modeled after the fatty acid composition and structure found in breast milk. Soybean oil is rich in both linoleic and oleic fatty acids – two valuable fatty acids found in breast milk. Soybean oil is not the same as a whole soybean, which is one of the more common food allergens for babies and young children and has been linked to hormone disruption. Soybean oil is free of protein, which is the component that most often causes these concerns. For more information about this ingredient, please see our blog.
While most children transition easily to Kabrita’s mild, sweet-tasting goat milk formula, some may benefit from a gradual transition over five days. Simply combine their current formula or milk with Kabrita, gradually increasing the amount of Kabrita and decreasing the amount of current milk or formula used. For more information on transitioning to Kabrita, please visit our blog.
You can find preparation and mixing instructions on the back of the formula tin, and on our blog. For every 2 oz of water add 2 scoops of powder. Be sure to fill the bottle with water before adding any powder to ensure accurate measurement. Adding water to powder can over-concentrate the formula.
