+1. DH and I both dropped a couple pounds when we switched to full fat dairy for the kids.

My boys are 17 and 13 and they still get full fat primarily.

OP, I feel like you are confused. Do you think there's something dangerous about low fat yogurt? I think you should give them whole milk because it's healthier, but there's nothing in plain low fat yogurt that is bad for your toddler.

Full fat allows for absorption of the vitamins and minerals in whatever accompanies the yogurt. It also cues the body better about satiety. I don’t buy low fat yogurt at all due to the above.

Full fat does taste way better and the calorie difference is pretty minimal.

At 4 I started buying whatever was available, instead of hunting around for whole milk yogurt. So sometimes it's low fat, sometimes full fat. But I have a very tall sturdy kid who eats well, so not super concerned about maximizing nutrient intake at every opportunity.

On a regular basis - never. Every now and then won’t matter much. Just remember the vitamins and calcium need the fat to be absorbed properly and fully.

Once in a while doesn't matter. Our whole family still eats whole fat yogurt, though. It's not something you need to switch to unless your pediatrician tells you to.

+1 Better to do full fat but occasional lowfat yogurt is not a big deal.

Even if you don't switch to it fully yet I can't see it bejng a problem at all for a few days if you just want to use what you have.

At what age can I start giving my toddler low fat, rather than whole milk yogurt? Just wondering because we have some low-fat but are out of whole milk
