They should only drink whole milk (I think until they are 3 or 4 at least)...they need the extra fat for their brain development.

We started with and still use whole.
I just read something that said if you have a family history of obesity or diabetes, your doc. will probably recommend 2%.

Whole milk. Babies at one year old still need the fat content in whole milk.

Re: What kind of milk did you start your DC on?
the reason I ask is because I recently read an article that said if obesity, diabetes or heart disease run in your family, your child should drink 1 or 2%. We go to the ped on 10/27, but I am going to start milk before then...I guess I will start with whole.
Thanks!

Re: What kind of milk did you start your DC on?
we did whole milk...they shouldn't have reduced fat until they are 2. However, now DD drinks Soy. She was not doing so well with the milk.

I'd start on whole, Elizabeth doesn't look like she has any of those issues and looks quite petite

Whole (even tho DH and I are both overweight). Sometimes 2% if that's all we had in the house.
And goat's milk. This is the best for them.
