i was told by a paed dietician NOT to change to low fat milk (no matter what age).

The different in fat is so low, and they need the good parts of full cream milk for their bones/hair etc. This applies to the average child, i was told only to use low fat milk IF child had been diagnosed as obese by a paed.

No doubt, ask ten people, you'll get ten different answers, no wonder parenting is so hard, lack of consistent info.
