What kind of milk do you drink?

sare_bear · February 2009

I'm watching The Doctors on TV and she recommended whole milk if you're TTC instead of skim. She said skim isn't bad, but whole milk is better for TTC.

Edit: I drank skim until I got pregnant, now whole.

Skim, if it all.

I HATE milk, I used skim to cook and for cereal.. Now I drink one glass of choco milk a week, if I can get it down. I take supplements.

Laura Anderson · February 2009

I drink Organic 1%

AJflowers · February 2009

I drink soy, rice, almond and oat milk...I don't drink dairy (or eat dairy). My doctor was not concerned at all about me being vegan and TTC.

FF actually! I dont know if I could even drink whole anymore. It would take some getting used to thats for sure.

ccbanana · February 2009

Haha...I thought you drank Fertility Friend milk at first. It took a while to figure it out.

I drink soy, if at all.

UMichGirl · February 2009

We drink 1/2%. I don't know that I could drink anything higher...I can't even drink 2%, blech.

Lil'Misa · February 2009

Skim and I did hear that drinking whole milk is better for TTC. I just have been drinking skim for so long I can't imagine going to whole.

chick730 · February 2009

I used to drink whole, now I drink 2%

MSC03 · February 2009

It's very, very rare that we drink milk, but we purchase the hormone free 2% or whole.

We have a really great health food market that carries local, Amish diary products, in the glass bottle and all!

Is it pasteurized?

Skim - mostly in cereal and cooking. Recenly Ive fallen in love with Chocolate Soy Milk (Silk). It's yummy!

Why do they say whole is better then skim when TTC? Is it because you need more fat? I'm sure most of us get plenty of fat from other foods.

Plus, skim milk has more calcium then whole (per 8 oz glass). I learned this in my HS nuturion class. It was a hard concept for me to get at first because I figured all milk has the same amount of calcium. But when the fat is removed, it is not replaced with water, it is replaced with more fat free milk. So there is actually more milk in 8 oz of fat free milk there there is in 8 oz of whole. Did that make any sence???

MrsBatty · February 2009

mmm milk. ?we drink 100% organic skim milk, and soy milk as a backup

Alex17 · February 2009

And I was thinking Full Fat and wondering isn't that the same as whole?

Joeypnut · February 2009

We both drink whole milk. When I am pregnant I will drink it organically. It's so frickin expensive though!

TarheelsInNJ · February 2009

Hmmm, I hadn't even thought about that. We drink skim, and DH really hates everything else. But maybe I'll buy one for him, one for me.

whitneylanescott · February 2009

I've really only had skim milk since college (which I guess I'm still technically in, over 7 years later Huh? ). I might (and I repeat might) switch to 1 or 2% once pregnant, but that would be a stretch for me.

Suladybug · February 2009

Used to drink skim, but have switched to whole milk while TTC.

rssnlvr · February 2009

Rice milk. It has calcium but lacks the other bad things you get from dairy.

Skim

kb75 · February 2009

I used to drink skim exclusively. But not long ago someone posted a link to an article about diet and conception, which recommended a limited amount of whole mile. So I drink slim for calcium, and about 1/2C per day of whole.

I didn't think I would like whole but now I really like it!
