[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently an outlier here also. My three-year-old drinks 2% organic milk. Our pediatrician said to switch from whole milk when she turned two (she was/is 10th percentile for weight so the recommendation was not BMI related). I give her full fat yogurt and cheese.[/quote] This is outdated thinking. [/quote] I’m a pediatric nurse and every single pediatrician I have worked with recommends this. It is a standard recommendation.[/quote] Yes it is standard, probably because of the obesity epidemic with kids and adults. But there is a lot of mounting evidence that kids that drink whole milk are less likely to be obese. They think it is linked to the milk being more satisfying they are less likely to overeat other things that are probably more unhealthy and less nutritious than milk. But until the AAP updates things, they will continue the status quo and recommend low fat milk. [/quote]
