Question
Is it better for children to drink raw goat’s milk or cooked milk?
Answer
When feeding goat’s milk to children, it is recommended to choose cooked milk over raw milk. Cooked goat’s milk can kill any potential bacteria and pathogens, reducing the risk of illness in children. Additionally, cooking the goat’s milk can help children absorb nutrients more effectively. During infancy, it is suggested to breastfeed as much as possible and gradually introduce a balanced diet according to the principles of complementary foods. Avoid giving children unhealthy foods such as puffed snacks, candy, drinks, and fruit juices. In cases where breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula can be used.
