2% milk instead of whole?

Question

Any moms out there transition to 2% instead of whole milk at 1?

Answer

Went to my son's one year appointed yesterday. Be weighs 26 pounds and has since he was six months. My doctor said to give him whole milk until he's 2 years old. The fat of the whole milk is for the development of his brain, she said.

Answer

Yes I am doing 2% also. I haven't seen our pediatrician yet for his one year but I recently read an article about the benefits of doing 2% rather than whole. The article said that drs are now recommending if you have a family history of heart disease (which my family does) that you do 2% because it has the lesser fat than whole. Makes complete sense to me. I will be following up with our pediatrician next week when I see as well.
