S/O: What milk do you use?

DS is almost 5 and we still use whole milk. He is underweight, I think in the 30th percentile, so I still want him to get the extra calories and fat.

Organic Valley Whole Grassmilk for my 1,2 and 4 year-old. My 2 and 4 year olds don't drink it everyday. A couple of times a week.

DS1 is almost 8 and underweight. He's small for his age and in the 5th percentile for weight and height. I use organic vanilla almond milk. He's a pretty good eater, has yogurt everyday, fruits and veggies, etc. Ped isn't worried bc he's growing and a good eater so he's fine with his almond milk.

I buy whole milk and almond milk. My 5yo only likes almond milk but rarely drinks it anyway. My 2.5yo drinks anything. Sometimes whole milk, sometimes almond milk, sometimes I do half of each. I never made the switch from whole milk bc my girls are both skinny minis but I plan to check with the ped next visit. I really hasn't considered switching but even if they need the fat I'm sure there are healthier ones I can try to get in them.

Re: S/O: What milk do you use?

DD really doesn't drink milk. We buy almond milk for the occasions that she does or we need it for cereal (also rarely ever eat cereal)

Almond milk lasts longer in the fridge. Because we use it so little we were dumping regular milk like crazy

DS1 who is 5 has 2%. I usually buy the organic BJ's brand or whatever organic brand is on sale in the grocery store. DS2, who is 22 months, has whole milk.

I buy a gallon of whole milk every week - usually like Dairy Pure or whatever. My son is 17 months and drinks about 16 oz a day and my DH uses it for his coffee.

Everyone in the house drinks fat free. DS turned 3 today and doesn't drink enough milk to justify buying him separate milk (maybe a glass a week and occasionally has a bowl of cereal).

We switched from whole to 1-2% at 2 years old. Still buying that. If and when my infant needs whole milk the entire house will use that. We dont go through enough to justify buying two kinds. If my son was overweight id probably think differently. Im actually going to ask if my infant can go on 2% milk instead of whole when the time comes as there isnt that much of a difference and whole makes me ill!! lol

DS is in a low percentile, but the ped still told us at his 4yo appt to switch to 1%. I have a 2yo DD so we're buying 2%. He said DS should be encouraged to eat more, not just get milk fat calories. I personally don't like full fat milk, so I didn't mind switching.

regular whole milk. @ just over 2 yo

daycare switched him to 1 or 2% i think but the ped said whole is fine at home. we had expected the dr to keep him on whole (at daycare too) since he is a little underweight, but he was doing better on the curve so she didnt.

Whole milk & some 2% (for cereal or my coffee).
Usually organic (we buy in bulk when we can get it at a good price)... but if we run out, I get a gallon of the less organic at the store.

With 3 kids, we consume about a half gallon a day!

All kids are normal weight or underweight.

Dd barely drinks any, but dh drinks it. We go through about 1/2 gallon a week, sometimes a bit more. We use organic whole milk, but that's bc dh likes it. Dd is almost 3.

Organic whole milk for DD- usually BJs brand, but if we run out before we go back to BJs we get whichever organic whole milk is on sale at Stop and Shop.

Skim plus for DH. I despise milk. I don't even like looking at it!

Re: S/O: What milk do you use?

I buy organic whole milk for my 7, 5, and 2 year old. I drink it myself. My 7 year old barely drinks milk, and my 5 year old is very skinny so i don't mind giving him the extra calories.

I drink it myself but mostly in my 1-2 cups of coffee a day.

My DS is lactose intolerant so we give him soy milk. I tried almond and he hated it.

I buy organic whole, organic 1% and unsweetened almond milk. The 1% and the almond milk don't always get finished before they go bad though.

For this reason, we buy lactaid. They still drink at nap time and bedtime and when their teeth bother them it makes them want to drink more at night.
They love cheese and yogurt and eat it almost everyday so the Ped. said it was fine to give them Lactaid.
