Nutramigen doesn't taste nice but the doctors are VERY pleased thatall three of my children still take it (eldest is 10 yrs)!! It is VERY nutritious. The have all been taking it as babies and just kept it up. But we had to keep them on bottles for much longeras it some how tastes worse from a cup!

All three of my children must have Nutraigen atleast two times a day otherwise they feel dissatisfied. They use rice milk for cereal but that isn't very nutritious. They drink the Nutramigen on its own first thing in morning and last thing before bed. We didn't care about taking them off baby bottles until they wanted to as nutrition was the most important thing with their allergies

the reason goats milk is not on prescription is because it didnt pass health and safety guidlines.

there is a push in some areas of pead docs to remove nanny goats milk powder from supermarkets.

goats milk as a replacement for mild cows milk intolerance , may help, for some. But not for severe intolerance or IGE allergies.
