You won't need to boil it. If you want it pasteurized, you bring it to 165 F in a double boiler and hold it there for a minute or so, then cool it. The alternative is to find a home pasteurizer which does the work for you using a double boiler type set up with some pressure to speed things up. The reason to pasteurize it is to kill of any harmful bacteria. We always drank it raw and I would today if it was from my own goats. With someone elses milk...do as you wish.
I would have no qualms about using goats milk for a baby. It's better milk IMO given the same sanitary care and cooling. Any off taste is either due to poor handling or poor feed and that happens with cows too. Anything else is in the mind of the drinker. The texture is slightly different than raw cow milk, but not in an unpleasant way.
We never raised babies on our goat milk, but our kids got lots of it and they were the picture of health. It definitely is easier on the stomach than cow milk and raw goat milks makes the best milks shakes ever!
