What are other alternatives to traditional cows’ milk baby formulas?

If your infant is not breastfed and is suffering from any of the following problems, you may like to try swapping them from cow’s’ milk formula to a goats’ milk formula: eczema; asthma; recurrent diarrhoea; repeated vomiting; persistent colic; recurrent bronchitis; or constant rhinorrhea (runny nose). Another alternative, growing in popularity for toddlers (particularly for children with asthma or eczema), is rice milk, and it is quite yummy. But as it is a little low in fat, some experts recommend adding a teaspoon of flaxseed oil with each bottle. Additional points that mum’s need to consider on formula-feeding is noted on page 216-217.
