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 :)<BR/><BR/>Our 6 year old is super skinny and we only give him whole milk.ellieshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434901406491353495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-49072481414849227152009-03-28T16:26:00.000-06:002009-03-28T16:26:00.000-06:00I was so interested in hearing what answers you re...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. <BR/><BR/>On Monday we go to the international doctor here, though, and hopefully he will tell us what he should actually be drinking!<BR/><BR/>Loralofferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478053353905735936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-75244418892077379372009-03-27T19:58:00.000-06:002009-03-27T19:58:00.000-06:00but I love whole milk!!!!!!!!!!!but I love whole milk!!!!!!!!!!!Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025104225794869065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-15994533910428162542009-03-27T10:32:00.000-06:002009-03-27T10:32:00.000-06:00As you know, my mother and I owned a childcare cen...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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-38929220210432107292009-03-27T07:58:00.000-06:002009-03-27T07:58:00.000-06:00i think the AAP recommend switching at age 2.i think the AAP recommend switching at age 2.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-28044844264207291712009-03-27T06:56:00.000-06:002009-03-27T06:56:00.000-06:00I think 2 years is usu. the recommended age, unles...I think 2 years is usu. the recommended age, unless your child is super skinny and needs the extra fat.
