Kendamil Goat Formula Stage 2 for Babies 6 to 12 Months
Kendamil Goat Formula Stage 2 is a follow-on formula for babies from 6 to 12 months, continuing the whole-goat-milk recipe into the weaning stage. Produced by the McMahon family's business in Kendal, Cumbria, it contains no palm oil and sources its DHA from marine microalgae, keeping the formula vegetarian friendly. As with any formula choice, talk to your pediatrician to confirm it is the right fit for your baby's diet at this stage.
The Kendamil Goat Line: Whole Milk, No Palm Oil
Kendamil was founded by the McMahon family in Kendal, Cumbria. The company's factory dates to 1962, and the Kendamil brand launched in 2016. The Goat range uses whole goat milk as its base, a choice that sets it apart from formulas that rely on skimmed or reconstituted milk.
All EU-market cans from Organic Formula Europe are labeled Product of the EU. The Goat line is non-organic. If you are looking for a Stage 1 goat option for an infant under 6 months, see Kendamil Goat Formula Stage 1.
Stage 2: Follow-On for the 6-to-12-Month Stage
Follow-on formula is intended to complement solid foods introduced during weaning, not to serve as the baby's sole nutrition. Kendamil Goat Stage 2 is reformulated for this period, adjusting key nutrients like iron to meet EU follow-on formula standards for this age range.
Goat milk is naturally higher in A2 beta-casein than standard cow's milk. Some families choose goat-milk formula for its different protein composition. However, goat milk formula is not hypoallergenic. It is not appropriate for babies with a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy due to the risk of protein cross-reactivity. Always consult a pediatrician if allergy is a concern.
Ingredients and Composition
Whole goat milk is the primary ingredient. Carbohydrates come from lactose, with GOS prebiotics included and no maltodextrin listed. Vegetable oils are sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed.
No palm oil is used in Kendamil Goat Stage 2. DHA is supplied by algae oil from Schizochytrium sp., and ARA is present from Mortierella alpina oil. Both are sourced to meet EU follow-on formula requirements.
European Quality and Ordering From Organic Formula Europe
Kendamil Goat Stage 2 meets EU follow-on formula regulations, including the mandatory inclusion of DHA and strict limits on contaminants and nutrient levels. These standards apply to all formula produced and sold within the EU.
Organic Formula Europe ships authentic, sealed EU-market cans to the United States. Best-before dates are printed in European DD/MM/YYYY format. The full Kendamil Goat range is available on the Kendamil Goat Milk Formula collection page.
Preparation and Everyday Use
Prepare Kendamil Goat Stage 2 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. Discard any formula not consumed promptly.
Powdered follow-on formula is not sterile. If you have questions about safe preparation or about when to transition between stages, your pediatrician is the best resource.

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.
