About the Use
Jovie goat milk products are not suitable for children with a confirmed cow milk protein allergy. Differences excist between the protein composition of goat milk and cow milk, however, an allergic reaction may still occur. Luckily, a confirmed cow milk protein allergy only occurs to 3% of the infant population. A much larger group experiences a sensitive response when drinking cow milk. Since every child is different, we advice to consult your healthcare provider about your child's symptoms and to discuss your goat milk feeding options.
Jovie goat milk products are not suitable for children with a diagnosed lactose intolerance. Lactose is the naturally occuring carbohydrate in human breastmilk, which is why we choose to use lactose in our Jovie goat milk products too. If your child has a cow milk sensitivity, we advice to consult your health care provider about your child's symptoms and to discuss your goat milk feeding options.
Breastfeeding is the ideal source of nutrition for your baby. Jovie Infant Milk is completely safe to use for your baby and can be introduced at any time desired. To make sure your baby will get used to infant milk it is best to gradually introduce the new form of nutrition to your baby. For instance, change 1 time breastfeeding by 1 bottle of Jovie Infant Milk every 4 days. You can always consult your health care professional for further advice.

About the Product
The composition of the Jovie Organic Goat Milk formulas may vary per country. You can check out the specific allergen information on the tin you purchased or find information on the Jovie website of your country. However, all our Jovie products contain goat milk; milk is specified as an allergen.
Yes. Jovie organic infant formula is formulated according to European guidelines established by the EFSA (European Food and Safety Organisation). From about 4 to 6 months, solid foods (snacks) can be given to supplement your baby's diet. Please also discuss this with your children's healthcare centre or doctor.
Most importantly, you as a parent should feel comfortable with this choice for your baby! Goat milk is known for its naturally easy to digest properties. The soft and loose curd formed in the stomach results in smooth passage into the intestines for further digestion. This is very comforting for babies sensitive to cow milk too. The use of whole goat milk also comes with high levels of easily digestible short and mediumchain fatty acids. On top of that, goat milk is rich in highly bioavailable and critical micronutrients. The result: a comfortable goat milk choice!
Do not worry! Jovie goat milk formula is just as delicious as a cow's milk formula. By using fresh, high quality goat milk, we ensure that our Jovie products are tasty and do not have a 'goaty' taste or smell.
Jovie goat is European Certified Organic according to European organic guidelines. This means that we only use the best (organic certified) goat milk, derived from goats that can graze and are fed with non-genetically modified (non-GMO) feed that is certified organic and grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Like all infant formulas in Europe, Jovie must comply with very strict regulations regarding the absence of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and other contaminants. Jovie takes it one step further; we use organic goat milk and our goats only get non-GMO feed.
Unlike other organic formulas, Jovie Goat organic formulas are enriched with AA and DHA. These are polyunsaturated fats, which occur naturally in breast milk. Both fatty acids can be formed in the body from other dietary fatty acids, but the addition of DHA has been shown to be beneficial for the normal growth and development of babies' brains, nerves and eyes.
