St Helens Goats milk

As my little one has been suffering from Eczema and I am on a battle to control it ,I have changed his diet drastically and have been very successful in controlling it . As a part of the diet change ,the first thing I changed was his milk.

He had started on cows milk after he turned one and I had always noticed that he was always gassy and uncomfortable on the regular milk. People told me that it was normal and things will calm down .. but it did not ..He was an ardent fan of milk and hence he used to consume a lot of it .. I soon realised that his rashes were very profound as well .

I began to research a lot and read a lot of good reviews about Goats Milk and I decided to give it a try
I went to sainsbury and brougt a carton of Goats milk for about 1.69 pounds and started my son on it

Within days I could notice that he was no longer gassy and quiete enjoyed the milk. His rashes were also not severe any more ..I was delighted and have stuck to it for more than 6 months now .

Here are some benefits of Goats milk that pulls me towards it

• Less allergic than cows milk
• More homogenized Milk
• Less likely to cause intolorence
• Milder than cows milk
• More suitable for human than cows milk

I was convinced ..

St helen's comes in whole milk as well as semi skimmed versions .. I am hence also able to provide my son with the full fat version

However I must admit it cons as well

•  it does smell like goat which is quite a turn off for someone who is looking to shift.. For my son however since I had administered this early on , he was not yet adjusted to any milk yet and hence he did not notice the difference .
• Also I wish they had provided it in larger cartons.. Tis can be quite irritaing cause you ll find yourself always in sainsbury buying milk ..
• Also its more expensive than regular milk and can be difficult to find in regular stores.

If your son suffers from eczema or has been gassy on cows milk ..This is worth a try ..
