Re: NT Homemade Formula and SCD Diet - 21 Mos.

[Guest guest]

SCD requires that you eliminate all lactose, so the goat milk would be a problem

on SCD. However pecanbread.com has a recipe for goat milk SCD yogurt and the

recipes are cow milk free. For both your kids I would be sure they got plenty of

dairy products at their ages- and the SCD yogurt is a good source for this.

However, since LB is doing well on his goat milk formula, I don't know if it is

necessary to rock the boat. He can eat the SCD foods you make and still have the

formula although he would not be technically on SCD. If this works for you as a

family he could wean to SCD later.

Just be sure both children have a variety of foods and take a vitamin supplement

if you are restricting their diet. If you are following NT, then you are

certainly doing this.

brother (21 mos.) and Mom are also going on the diet. LB (Ben) is still on

homemade raw goat's milk formula as written in Nourishing Traditions recipe. He

is old enough to stop drinking a bottle, but I fear taking him off this formula

as I believe it has kept him thus far healthier than his sister. (It contains

healthy unrefined fats, c and b vitamins, etc. The milk is also diluted by half

with water.)

I know he can't tolerate cow's milk and doubt BTVC recipe would work for us.
