    My grandson is 14 weeks old and my daughter breast feeds him, but he in on a constant growth spurt. Thank God, he is gaining weight well. Proseeby and Enfamil cause stomach pain and has lots of junky ingredients. Is goat milk a good supplement to breast milk? Does any recommend a healthy baby formula?

      It seems like negative reports on goat milk are coming from the junk formula business. Do you agree?
