There will be a day
When all will fade away
And all that will remain
Is loving You face to face
Jesus, I pray
That You would come today
Faith will be replaced
With loving You face to face

We made the switch to 1% at 2 years for both our kids.
My kids will drink chocolate milk, but they never finish it. I actually don't think they are crazy about it. They GUZZLE regular milk though. I can't keep the stuff in the house!
I think 2 years is usu. the recommended age, unless your child is super skinny and needs the extra fat. Mmmm.... chocolate milk.
i think the AAP recommend switching at age 2.
As you know, my mother and I owned a childcare center until last month and we use the childcare food program for menu planning for the children as they are served breakfast, lunch and a healthy snack at the center every day. According to the guidlines, the children must drink whole milk until age 2 (they need the fat for brain development) and then they can be switched to skim unless otherwise instructed by a doctor. They, apparently, don't even need 2% or 1% as it really isn't much less fat than whole....or something.
but I love whole milk!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so interested in hearing what answers you received because, to my surprise, Jason (who will be 2 May 1st) was still on a bottle of formula mixed with powdered cereal when we picked him up! We even got a sheet that had how much to mix at what time of day with a certain amount of hot/cold water.
On Monday we go to the international doctor here, though, and hopefully he will tell us what he should actually be drinking!

We switched our daughter at age 2 when she was getting very chubby (she did slim down). We do however still give her one cup a day just because we think she could use a little fat - and here in Australia they don't really encourage children drinking skim milk :)
Our 6 year old is super skinny and we only give him whole milk.
