Desert people feed their camels dates, grass, and such grains as wheat and oats. In zoos, the animals eat hay and dry grains--about 3.5 kilograms of each every day. When a camel travels across the desert, food may be hard to find. The animal may have to live on dried leaves, seeds, and whatever desert plants it can find. A camel can eat a thorny twig without hurting its mouth. The lining of the mouth is so tough that the sharp thorns cannot push through the skin. If food is very scarce, a camel will eat anything--bones, fish, meat, leather, and even its owner's tent.

Camel milk is safe for consumption by human babies.
However be advised that camel milk is saltier than human and cow milk.
Camel milk is richer is vitamin B, vitamin C and iron than cow milk is. Which makes it closer to human breast-milk than cow milk is.
You and your baby should only drink pasteurised camel milk, otherwise there is a risk of contracting Malta fever.
If you're not sure the milk has been pasteurised, boil it at 100 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
For centuries camel milk has been used as a substitute for desert-dwelling people and desert tribes, including Mongols, for women who were unable to breast-feed their children. Camel milk was also used to make the first ever known yoghurts, thousands of years ago, which were consumed by babies, children and adults.
Camel milk can also be a substitute for babies who are allergic to cows milk. Camel milk is a lot more nourishing and easier to digest than cow milk, so it does not trigger allergenic or opiate reactions/responses.
However you should ask a paediatric specialist for advice first rather than trusting me alone.
There are also currently long-term scientific studies on camel milk. It has been claimed, but not yet scientifically proven, that camel milk is beneficial for babies and children suffering from autism, neuro-integrational and immunological disabilities.
Other than that, it has so far been proved that cow milk contains two chemicals that could cause autism in children. While in camel (and human breast-milk) these two chemicals are absent. Therefore camel milk is safer for autistic children to drink. But the other benefits claimed to come from camel milk for autistic children still have yet to be proved.
In March 2012 camel milk was also included in studies looking into cures and prevention of cerebral and central nervous system disabilities in babies and children. The study is still ongoing.
So, in summary, camel milk is healthier than cow milk. It is closely related to human breast-milk and therefore safer for babies and children than cow milk or formula milk.
Therefore to answer your question, yes, camel milk is 100% safe and good for babies. In fact, so much more beneficial than cow milk, although not as beneficial as human breast-milk.
- Please seek advice from a qualified paediatric (child-doctor) before switching to camel milk if your child is allergic to cow milk.
- Please seek advice from a qualified paediatric (child-doctor) before switching to camel milk if your child is allergic to formulated milk.
- Always remember that human breast-milk is always the best choice for your baby. It has been specifically evolved to suit human babies much more than cow, goat, camel or formulated milk combined.
