What kind of milk?

alieb82

At DS's appointment last week, I asked the doctor about switching from formula to milk, and he said to give DS 2% instead of Whole Milk.  Not that there is anything wrong with whole milk, I guess just that he doesn't need all that fat.  Most places I research this though say to give whole milk. What are you doing?

My pedi (who I used to work with, and greatly respect as a practitioner) said that intrducing whole milk ntil age two is vitally important to brain development due to the fats available in it (that are not available in other milk). I know that some of our other physicians will put a baby on 2% if they are obese (we had a 45 pound one year old that they recommended that with). 

 Anyway, we are doing whole!

Whole for both my kids from 1-2.

Our pedi recommends whole milk as well.

Whole for us too.  Although, DD hates it so I have to hide it in her cereal.

Thank you! My instincts said whole milk so I'm very happy I asked around!

Whole milk.  I've never heard of anything different for babies.

I'm doing whole milk as well.

Yep, whole milk. I just have to find a way to make it appealing to DS. So far he refuses to drink it.

I switch between whole and 2%.  Really, I'm sure there is nothing wrong with giving them 2%.
