A member asked:

What is the difference between whole milk and full cream milk. can all be used for a toddler?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The same : It is the same if they are referring to the fat content. The current recommendations is to start healthy eating as early as infancy. Though milk is very healthy, a reduced fat milk is preferable.
