Science-led Goat Milk Formula

Nannycare whole goat milk formula is designed around the natural composition of goat milk. Made with whole goat milk as the only source of protein, with approximately 50% of the fat derived from natural goat milk fat. Goat milk naturally contains A2-type proteins and has a different allergen profile compared with cow’s milk. The formulation provides key nutrients appropriate for infants and young children.

Digestive Comfort

Goat milk has a unique protein composition and naturally contains A2-type proteins that behave differently during digestion.

Lower Key Allergens

Nannycare whole goat milk formula contains lower allergens* and may reduce the risk of eczema.

Natural Bioactives

Our formulation approach uses whole goat milk and limits unnecessary processing steps, preserving naturally occurring bioactive components.

Safe & Well-tolerated

Nannycare whole goat milk formula is clinically proven to be safe, effective and well-tolerated, suitable when breastfeeding is not possible.

World Leading Research

Nannycare whole goat milk formula is backed by an extensive research programme and over 30 years of expertise in infant formula development. Nannycare is made in partnership with the Dairy Goat Co-Operative in New Zealand, the pioneers and inventors of the very first goat milk formula.

The scientific evidence base includes over 60 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, of which 43 focus specifically on goat milk nutrition.
