Goat's milk, since it is the milk of a species other than human, is just as allergenic as cow milk. It would be only a matter of time, probably, before the baby developed a goat milk allergy as well. Also, Goat milk is deficient in some of the vitamins. The best solution for an allergic baby is to try to get the mom to relactate and feed human milk. Second best would be human milk from a donor who would be willing to eliminate allergenic food from her diet. Third best would be hypoallergenic artificial milk (Nutramigen, Alimentum or Neocate)--the baby will take it if hungry enough and it's what's offered. These cases drive me nuts--if moms would breastfeed, we wouldn't see these protein allergies! (And, they can be quite severe, I know). Larry Gartner MD states that he has never seen a case of documented allergy to human milk, although it is possible to see allergies to substances excreted into the milk that the mom is ingesting.
