A member asked:

My daughter wont take whole milk can she have two %shes almoat 12 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Give it time: The rapid brain growth of infants requires a significant fat & cholesterol source, the easiest being regular milk. After 2 the need declines & low % milk has less impact. Other sources might make up the difference but you may be able to coax baby into regular milk & avoid special supplements.
