Evidently infant goat's milk formulations are a big hit with the anti-vax nutters. While the AAP recommends against giving cow and goat milk to infants, it's only "dangerous" if given exclusively which isn't what this particular nutter is doing. The biggest concern is iron fortification. Since the recipe has been pulled, I don't know what's in it, but it is conceivable (although unlikely) that her recipe includes the micronutrients babies need in the correct proportions.
