My 7,5, 4 and 2 year olds still drink whole milk (and so do DH and I). DS3 has a milk intolerance so he drinks almond milk. I will say that we generally don't "drink" milk, we usually put it on cereal etc. ans when we go out most restaurants usually have 2%.
I'm sticking with whole milk personally but that's because no matter what and how much my kids eat, they are always going back and forth on their weight but don't gain weight. It's best to stick with what works for you and what the pedi says.
