Whole milk or 2%

KhloesMom · March 2009

What did your pedi recommend and why? Just curious. Mine said whole, but I've seen others that are using 2%.

Our pedi. recommended whole milk. Emily doesn't like it very well, but she will drink about 6 oz a day. Then she gets the rest of her dairy from cheese, yogurt and other things.

16-24 oz of whole milk a day, with 16 being ok if he gets lots of calcium and fats from other sources like yogurt and cheese. ?At 2 we go to 2%.

2%, she said he doesn't need the extra fat. right now he has 3 bottles a day, he's not a big fan of the sippy. he does eat lots of cheese and yogurt.

Whole until age 2.

Whole until 2.

Ours said 2%, but it was because he's so big already. She said he doesn't need the extra fat, but we will be re-evaluating at each visit.

Whole until 2. But there have been times that we have only had 2% in the house so we give her that occasionly.

Pedi said whole is best. But she doesn't like it or drink it much. So he recom 1% to get her used to the taste and then work her up to whole. She still doesn't drink much. We substitute with lots of yogurt and cheese.

At first our Pedi said whole, but then it was making him VERY constipated so she recommended 2% (which is now what we use) b/c it is easier to digest.
