Should i use formula milk for my overweight child or a regular skim milk?

Skim milk: Keeping child from getting obese often requires whole family efforts. Eating more soup and salad, bicycling together, are examples.

At what age: Formula is not milk and skim milk would be a poor choice if the child were under a year of age& needed the nutritional additives in formula. If your child is truly overweight, based on charts comparing weight for height at his/her age a low fat milk may be appropriate. Generally we don't do this under 2 as the brain needs fat & cholesterol for growth in this period.
