When did everyone swap milks from full fat to semi skimmed? Noah drinks quite a bit of milk through…

Not sure about the full fat as it never agreed with caitlin it used to upset her tummy, but she went through a stage when she had more milk than food, so I started cutting down the milk I refused to give her any milk in the morning until she had breakfast, that's how she cut her morning bottle as for during the night try offering water instead maybe even put the water in the bottle rather than milk, you can also do half milk half water xx

Now you mention that, McKenzie don't eat that much either! He's more like a picker!! And he still has a fair bit of cows milk full fat in his sippy cup throughout the day with squash also, and he has a bottle before bed and he has milk in the night maybe if he wakes and some first thing xxx

@gabilicious yeah thats what stage hes at! Would rather drink than eat. Yeah i might hold off on his milk in the morning and see how he does. As for the night time i tried water and i was pretty much the devil for the looks i got 🙈 think its going to have to be a grin and bear it to get him off his milk xx

@mckenziesmummy yeah this is why i thought id ask 😂 Noah is pretty much the same with the milk then meal times its just picking at it then throws it all. May have to try semi skimmed to see if it makes a difference while i try wean his off his milk xx

@abbiiqx, yes!!! I'm with you on this one!! As I'm in the same situation didn't really think about his milk Is filling him up ahah!!😂😂xx

They advise full fat until 2years. Max has the odd bit of semi skimmed if we run out lol. But other wise he's on full fat. He only has a bottle in the morning and in cereal in the day. Then just sips here and there at snack and tea time. I swapped Morgan when he was 2.

@mckenziesmummy haha it was like my last resort 😂 im always worrying hes not getting enough food. So going to try swapping milk and giving him his breakfast first. I know its going to take a while before he gives up those night time bottles! Lol x

@sara-lou86 aww i didnt even know there was a guideline! Maybe its just how much he drinks then. Ill have to do some changes see if it helps ☺ xx

To be fair it used to be 5years. Guidelines always change. Some children are non-dairy, so drink alternatives to milk which has less fat. So I don't think it would do them harm.

Yeah, maybe instead of my giving McKenzie his morning milk I think I may stop that and give him breakfast first, then a little cup of milk just in case, xx

Charlie’s been on semi skimmed for about the last 4 months. Full fat just bungs him right up so had to come down to semi and he’s fine. He has one bottle to go to bed and that’s all, sometimes has a smaller bottle in the night if he wakes

@jo.wilcox oh really i never thought of that! Thanks ill have to have a change about and see if it helps him too. Definatly need to try cut out his night time bottles as its just a habit now x
