Raw Milk Formula recipe and ingrediant kits

[CrownofThorns]

I definitely agree with Paula, this is a formula that I would use if I needed to.

I totally understand everyones points, but I think that Paula also knows that risks. I believe she is using milk from her own goats, and most people who are actually daily drinking their own milk will take a lot of measures to make sure their milk is clean and healthy. I know I do and my milk is going to my 85 yo grandmother.

I test my animals every year to make sure they are disease free. I feed them natural healthy diets which keeps them disease free, I keep really clean pens, make sure I wash and disinfect everything used in milking and put them milk right away in the freezer for an hour to cool it rapidly and then I put it in the fridge.

I am fully confident that my milk is perfectly safe. It was safe for thousands of years until we started modernizing things and feeding the animals foods that were never meant to be eaten by those animals, pumping them full of toxins, because now that they are eating something they were never intended to eat, they have health problems. It's no wonder modern milk has a past history of disease.

Give the animal it's God intended food, stop pumping it full of chemicals, keep everything clean and sanitized and you have no issues.

BTW there is never any poo in my milk because of the measures I take.

I have to agree with BBrooks, too. If you are milking your own animals, you know exactly what makes it into the milk. It is pretty hard to get goat poo into the milk without the milker's knowledge! Well-cared for goats do not get poo-encrusted like many dairy cows do. They will always sleep in the clean areas if they are available, and if there happens to be a bit of poo where they are sleeping, it is in the form of dry nanny berries and doesn't stick to their hair to fall into the milk.

I always use my udder washing rag to smooth my does' belly hair forward before milking, which cleans any debris from their belly and removes most if not all loose, shedding hairs. I also know as I filter each batch of milk if there is a hair in the filter or any debris....this is amazingly rare.

Being in such close contact with the animals twice a day also gives me lots of opportunity to know exactly how each one is doing from day to day, and subtle changes are noticed that would likely get past low-paid employees at a commercial dairy that simply plug the teats into the milking machine and have very little contact with the animals.

I would be far more confident about feeding this to a baby than commercial formula any day of the week.

I'm with you Free!!

There was the most heartwarming story, a WAPF mother couldn't produce her own milk no matter what they tried, and he couldn't digest raw cows milk. She found a lady who "gives away" raw goats milk (in their state its illegal to sell) and babies are put at the top of the list, she keeps does in milk in winter specifically for babies in need. The whole stroy made me melt, that there are still people like that out there

I didn't realize the OP was using her own goat's milk, so my apologies. I agree--there's nothing like using your own stuff to be able to vouch for its cleanliness. Good luck!
