Learn to make healthy, homemade infant formula, sponsored by New Dawn Acres Farm
Workshop Description:
Join nutritionist Megan Sanctuary in learning how to make safe, nutritious, homemade infant formula using raw goat milk as a base with other whole food ingredients.
Goat milk-based formula is an important alternative to cow milk-based formula, to which some infants may have an allergy or sensitivity.
During this workshop you will learn the basics of infant nutrition and nutrition of raw goat milk compared to cow and mother’s milk; how to safely handle and store raw milk; how to source the necessary ingredients to make the formula; how to combine the ingredients for optimal taste, texture, and storage; how to properly store and reheat the formula; and receive an introduction to modifying the formula to suit the individual needs and tolerances of your infant.
