Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When my son's pediatrician said "eczema is not something we treat, we just wait it out til age 1-2" I knew I was on my own. Even when i asked if it could possibly be his formula, she looked at me like I had antennas sticking out of my head and said "well yes, but we don't want to switch formulas - just to see how things transpire." don't know who this "we" is she keeps talking about. Any parent with an eczema baby knows how hard it is seeing your baby cry and scratch and be covered in scaley welts. I would cut off my right arm if it meant giving him a little bit more comfort! Of COURSE we want to treat our babies and of course we want to do our best to explore all options. After changing all forms of bedding, clothing and contact fabrics to super breathable hypoallergenic materials, after giving up hair spray, scented deodorant, and putting the most expensive air purifier in the house; and after using every $$$ eczema lotion 12+ times a day on his little body, because, according to the ped "eczema is just dry skin." I thought I was stuck watching my baby suffer. I'm not a medical professional. I don't have a fancy degree. I guess I just woke up and decided what the hey. I'm this boy's mother- I care about his welfare more than anyone possibly could. Why am I waiting on someone else to give me permission to do something for him? I ordered Kabrita. I was sooo worried. What if it hurts him? What if it makes him sick? What if I give him the wrong formula thats not even for his age (he was only 4 months and the only Kabrita available in the US is toddler formula) and what if something happens and I end up in cuffs for endangering my child because it was against the doctor's advice.. oh god the nonsense we worry about. I did my research and prayed and whipped up a bottle per the instructions. He GOBBLED it up like a champ! I mean, he realllly loved it. I can't say I'm too surprised... the Enfamil and Similac he'd been on before smelled pretty gnarly. Kabrita looks like milk, smells clean and pure. Now for the wow factor: Within 2 feedings his temples and neck were clear of red scales. Within a day, his trunk was down to just dry scales, no redness/inflammation. Within 3 days, he was completely rid of ALL redness and most of the dry patches. Babysaurus has been on Kabrita from age 4 months to now 5 months. His wheezing is gone. (never occurred to me before that his esophagus and mouth could have been irritated as well! Doc had said "some babies are just noisy breathers" smh) His red watery eyes are gone. He doesn't claw at his face anymore. He doesn't have weird poops and screaming painful gas pains anymore. Yes, he still has eczema. When he has a bath or after a car ride in the cold when I unbundle his layers of winter gear, he's irritated. But it's NOTHING like it was when he was on traditional cow's milk formula. His skin is 95% pure and clean. I am sooo glad i used my better judgment and tried Kabrita. My baby doesn't suffer anymore- and we didn't have to just "wait it out" til age 1-2. Oh & since he has just started solids - he loooooooves the kabrita yogurt pouches :) :) PLEASE- parents! If your baby is hurting do your research and try goat's milk formula. It could mean everything for your baby's health and comfort. *a couple notes- although the formula says "toddler 12-24 mos" according to their website there is minimal nutritional difference between this and the infant formulation. Basically, it's a red tape thing; toddler formula was OK'ed be sold here right away- infant formula has to be 'approved' by the FDA. Presumably when the government authorities and pediatricians like mine are done playing touch football with the infant kabrita cans, or floating little paper boats across a pool filled with goat milk or whatever other rigorous safety tests they do- the infant formula will become available in the U.S. as well. I mean, they're fine giving our babies crap from china and letting ANYTHING be fed to our toddlers without testing, but hey who am I to judge. I have found goat milk formula to be better for gas, tummy rumblings and spitup, yet more constipating. I've countered this by adding 1/2 tsp virgin organic coconut oil to each bottle helps with digestion as well as adding extra nutrition & fat for our under 12 month babies. Coconut oil is da bomb. It's nutrionally BOSS. I plan on still giving it to babysaurus when he's a tot. And a tween. And a teen. And at his college graduation. And someday as he pledges, on bended knee, his undying affections to some lovely young lady -There I will be; jumping out from behind a bush with a jar of EVCO for them both. No, coconut is NOT a tree nut therefore an allergen- it's a fruit. It's used topically as an anti-allergen so there. Dang near anyone can use it. My son is reaching milestones like a boss, growing strong and steady. He's a 22 lb beefcake at 5 months and can rip my hair out at the root with his killer grip. He can sit up, roll over, bear weight on his legs, etc. Healthwise, he is doing just peachy on this formula. Yes, I tried the homemade goatmilk formula with the Meyenberg powder and the 50 million steps. I found it to be a huge P.I.T.A. and also it seemed to make the boy super gassy and hangry all the time. Felt like something was missing. Ain't nobody got time for that. Kiddo is worth the $$$ and so is my time so I just buy Kabrita. Maybe if enough parents push for amazing products like these we can create the demand for them to get it on the shelves at more stores. Until then, I will continue to trek to Whole Foods and order it online. * No, I have not been paid by Kabrita U.S.A. or by Coconuts to write this. I'm just a very thankful momma.
