GOAT'S milk is helping Lucy Moss, aged four, to enjoy a more healthy and happy life.

The toddler was just a year old when she started suffering from eczema and chest infections, with little hope of improvement.

Lucy's mum Kate sought advice from all over but it was a relative who suggested she switched from cow's milk to goat's milk.

She did, Lucy raised no objections to the taste and there was a dramatic improvement in her condition.

"Lucy is a much happier child now her problems with eczema and her chest infections have been solved,'' said her mother.

There were benefits, too, for Kate, who joined her daughter in the goat's milk diet.

"Not only did Lucy benefit from the goat's milk products but since trying it myself, my problems with catarrh have improved as well,'' she said.

Lucy, who lives at Regent Gardens and is in the reception class at Broadlands School, has to make some sacrifices like giving up chocolate. Even a small piece can trigger off the old problems.

But her progress has been so obvious that she has been chosen to star in a national health campaign, National Allergy Week, by the UK's leading goat's milk producer, St Helen's Farm.

She will feature in a 'Thank Goodness for Goat's' campaign, launched to help people intolerant to cow's milk, and will tell her story in a range of marketing activities throughout the year.
