Hi Katie,

I hate to burst your bubble but goats milk can cause serious problems especially because it lacks sufficient iron. And the carrot juice contains way too much beta carrotene which can be very hard on your baby's liver and can lead to jaundice and in severe cases, neurological problems. It's just not worth it. Stick with the tried and true formulas if donor milk is not available to you.

I'm sorry to state the obvious, but neither the midwife nor the chiropracter are infant feeding specialists. They need to concentrate on their own specialties and leave the feeding questions to the pros. The information they are providing you is beyond their scope of practice and not evidence-based.

Do you have a pediatrician? How about discussing this with him/her? Assuming from your question that your child is having feeding problems what about a pediatric gastro-enterologist?

Best,
