Reduced fat milk for children over two?

I thought skim milk is still homogenised after it is skimed though, to stop that little bit of cream they could have left behind from separating??

Thanks for giving me something to think about. I might have to put some more thought into this I think, and see what we decide.

Really.
I think I'll stick to skim anyway. When I have the full cream at other people's places it just tastes too thick and gooey - I don't like the texture/flavour much.
Or maybe I'll start getting the 1l non-homogenised.

FWIW Low Fat Milk has more calcium than Full Cream Milk - they add extra to it.

Thats what my dietitian told me so now I feel good about changing over to low fat milk

I only drink low fat milk when pregnant - as I don't get much calcium anyway - I don't like dairy food at all, so found the milk I eat on my cereal everyday was the best way to up the intake. I was amazed that it has higher calcium though! lol
