Kendamil Goat Formula Stage 1 for Newborns 0 to 6 Months
Kendamil Goat Formula Stage 1 is an infant formula for babies from birth to 6 months, using whole goat milk as its base rather than cow's milk. Made by the McMahon family's company in Kendal, Cumbria, it carries the same no-palm-oil commitment found across the Kendamil range. Because goat milk is not hypoallergenic and is not appropriate for infants with a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy, please consult your pediatrician before choosing this formula.
Kendamil: A Family-Owned British Brand
Kendamil was established by the McMahon family, with the company's Cumbrian factory tracing its origins to 1962 and the Kendamil brand launching in 2016. The brand remains family-owned, with Ross McMahon and co-founders Will and Dylan McMahon continuing to lead the business.
All Kendamil Goat line cans sold on the EU market, including those shipped by Organic Formula Europe, are labeled Product of the EU. The Goat line is non-organic. For first-stage cow-milk options from Kendamil, you can compare on the Kendamil Formula collection page.
Whole Goat Milk and the A2 Beta-Casein Difference
Kendamil Goat Stage 1 uses whole goat milk as its primary ingredient. Goat milk is naturally higher in A2 beta-casein protein compared to standard cow's milk. Some families find goat-milk formulas easier on their baby's digestion, though research is still developing and individual responses vary.
It is important to note that goat milk formula is not hypoallergenic. Because of protein cross-reactivity, it is not suitable for infants with a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy. If your baby has a diagnosed allergy, work with your pediatrician to find an appropriate formula.
Ingredients and Composition
The base is whole goat milk. Carbohydrates come from lactose (from goat milk), and the formula includes GOS prebiotics. No maltodextrin is listed in the Stage 1 recipe.
Vegetable oils are sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed. No palm oil is used in Kendamil Goat Stage 1. DHA is sourced from microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.), making the formula vegetarian friendly, and ARA is included from oil of Mortierella alpina.
European Quality and Ordering From Organic Formula Europe
Kendamil Goat Formula is produced to EU infant formula standards, which require DHA and set strict nutrient and safety parameters. The EU framework governs everything from raw-material sourcing to labeling.
Organic Formula Europe ships authentic EU-market cans to the United States. Best-before dates are printed in European DD/MM/YYYY format. You can explore the full goat range on the Kendamil Goat Milk Formula collection page.
Preparation and Everyday Use
Prepare Kendamil Goat Stage 1 following the instructions on the can. Use freshly boiled water cooled to the temperature stated on the label, and measure powder with the enclosed scoop. Use prepared formula promptly and discard any remainder.
Powdered infant formula is not sterile. For safe preparation guidance, including water temperature advice to reduce Cronobacter risk, consult your pediatrician or refer to WHO and CDC guidelines.

- Includes a measuring scoop
- Best-before date in European DD/MM/YYYY format
- Suitable from birth to 6 months
How to Prepare Powdered Formula
- Boil fresh water for each feed and let it cool to the temperature printed on your can. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so the CDC and WHO advise that water at about 158°F (70°C) lowers the risk of Cronobacter, especially for newborns and higher-risk infants. Follow your can's instructions and ask your pediatrician which approach is right for your baby.
- Pour about two-thirds of the required water into a clean, sterilized bottle.
- Use only the scoop provided with your formula pack (sizes may vary). Add the correct number of level scoops - 1 scoop per 1 oz / 30 ml of water.
- Close the bottle with the nipple and cap. Shake vigorously until all powder is dissolved.
- Add the remaining water and shake again.
- Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 98 °F / 37 °C). Always test the milk temperature before feeding to avoid scalding your baby.
Important Information
- Only use the scoop included in the package.
- Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated. Do not add extra water, scoops, or other ingredients.
- Always prepare fresh. Do not prepare bottles in advance. Discard any leftovers after each feed.
- Never heat bottles in the microwave - hot spots can cause burns.
- Once opened, use formula within 21 days. Never use beyond the expiration date printed on the box/tin (format: day/month/year).
- Avoid storing formula in hot or humid environments.
