[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now 9yo doesn’t drink any cows milk at all. We drink almond milk in oatmeal, smoothies etc. Look into other sources of calcium, protein, healthy fats. Humans are not designed to drink cows milk which is why a lot of kids just don’t like it. We end up adding chocolate too it just to get them to drink it, makes no sense. [/quote]

Lots of kids love milk. Does that mean they were meant to drink it? And most kids dislike vegetables. So do many adult! Does that mean we shouldn’t eat them?

I don’t care if people drink milk or not, and there are environmental reasons to avoid cows milk, but this argument makes no sense.[/quote] some do and that’s fine if you want them to drink it. But given all the lactose intolerant people we have plus the kids grabbing the choc milk at school and not the regular milk I would still stand by my point. [/quote]

This is OP. I feel torn about this. I’m not a huge fan of dairy as it is supposed to be inflammatory, but we keep no sugar yogurt in the house. But pediatrician did recommend a glass of milk. We do not eat much meat very regularly and we don’t do a lot of heavy carbs  - eg we often eat eggs in the morning, but often dinner will be fish or vegetarian with vegetables. I do drizzle extra olive oil. Just thinking a preschooler may need the calories and fat/protein, so thinking of adding milk back. [/quote]
