Healthy baby infant formula beverage and healthy baby toddler formula beverage

A beverage mixture for infants and toddlers containing goat milk, rice milk and aloe vera juice and distilled water which is free of refined sugar and cow milk.

BACKGROUND--INVENTION FIELD 
This invention relates to the commercial beverage known as "baby formula". 
B/G--PRIOR ART DISCUSSION 
The following describes a completely unique product in the baby formula 
arena as all of the other baby formulas commercially available are based 
on either cow milk or soybeans, and sweetened with refined sugar. Many are 
infused with unbioassimilateable ferrous iron when claiming to provide 
iron. These ingredients are not recommended by many professional clinical 
nutritionists because of their immediate and long-term allergy-producing 
and/or discomfort-producing potential. 
This invention also solves the problem of babies and toddlers having to 
drink said commercially-available formulas that taste terrible simply 
because there is no alternative when a milk-type beverage that can be 
bottle-fed is required. 
OBJECT & ADVANTAGES 
Accordingly, several objects and advantages of our invention are: 
(a.) to provide better assimilateability because it is based on goat milk 
which is much more similar in chemical composition to human milk and, 
therefore more absorbable, than cow milk; 
(b.) to provide natural sweetness by inclusion of organic rice milk, 
eliminating the need for the addition of refined sugar which is often a 
significant contributor to systemic yeast overgrowth and additionally 
provides complex carbohydrates; 
(c.) to provide aloe vera juice which has been anecdotally documented by 
its manufacturer to provide a soothing effect on the digestive system; 
(d.) to provide a beverage that will encourage daily bowel movements, while 
significantly eliminating constipation and diarrhea; 
(e.) to generally eliminate the gastro-intestinal discomfort such as but 
not limited to colic, gas, and vomiting of infants and toddlers that are 
often formula-related; 
(f.) to provide a beverage that will contribute to the inhibition of the 
growth of systemic yeast, by eliminating the ingestion of refined sugar, 
that often contributes to such childhood symptoms as frequent ear 
infections and colic; 
(g.) to provide a beverage that does not cause a toxic allergic reaction 
such that the child's body begins to retain water in an effort to dilute 
said toxicity resulting from the ingestion of the said commonly-used 
ingredients of cow milk, soy milk, refined sugar, and un-bioassimilateable 
iron. This retention often results in a puffy, florid, "Michilin 
Man"--type-appearing weight gain; 
(h.) to provide vitamins and minerals, including bioavailable iron, through 
inclusion of a high-quality infant or toddler vitamin/mineral product to 
each beverage recipe; 
(i.) to provide a beverage formulated specifically for nutritional 
requirements of infants and toddlers, birth to 12 months and 1 year to 4 
years, respectively; and 
(j.) to provide a beverage that tastes and feels significantly similar to 
breast milk so that babies and toddlers have no aversion to drinking it. 
Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a 
consideration of the ensuing description.

DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION 
This unique beverage is a mixture of commercially available products 
combined in such a way as to provide a baby and toddler beverage that: 
(a) tastes and feels like breast milk: 
(b) is free from the commonly used allergy-inducing, discomfort-producing 
ingredients such as refined sugar, cow milk, and soy milk; 
(c) provides all the vitamin and mineral supplementation required by babies 
and toddlers; 
(d) encourages increased bowel elimination; and 
(e) is formulated to correspond to baby and toddler eating patterns, 
respectively.

SUMMARY, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE 
Accordingly, the reader will see that the ingredients of these two 
formulations of beverage are combined in such a way that said common 
dietary allergens of cow milk, soy milk, and refined sugar, which usually 
cause discomfort for infants and toddlers whose breast milk feedings must 
be supplemented, are eliminated. 
In addition, generally speaking, the healthful benefits accruing from the 
beverage formulations are many: 
(a.) better feeding habits as this beverage has the taste and feel of 
breast milk; 
(b.) steady weight gain without the florid, puffy, "Michilin Man"-type 
appearance so common with infants, due to the elimination of allergens; 
(c.) significant elimination of systemic yeast overgrowth that often 
symptomizes as runny noses and other "cold" symptoms, and ear infections, 
due to the elimination of refined sugar; 
(d.) elimination of gastric- and colon-disturbance symptoms such as gas, 
colic, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea; due to the inclusion of aloe 
vera juice; and 
(e.) encouragement of daily (if not more frequent) bowel movements without 
discomfort. 
ADDITIONAL RAMIFICATIONS 
Although the description above contains many specificities, these should
