We use whole milk and have since she was 12 mos (slowly started introducing at 9 mos)...but don't spend the money on organic. I don't buy organic anything.

my boy has been on normal cows milk since six months and ive had no problems with him his weight or nutrition at all but go by what you think is best for your child.

Our daughter is on formula and whole milk - formula before bed and whole milk during the day. I also splurge on the organic stuff - its nice to see milk cream again!

My little boy is quite big for his age, at 15 months he's 2 ft 9 in. He gets follow on milk because he doesnt like cows milk to drink. He's on aptamil 1yr + and he loves it

I buy organic milk for my family and my 16mo old gets whole milk. I wish I could buy all my fruits/veggies/meats organic but it's too spendy so I just splurge on organic milk.

My little boy is a very little boy and sometimes goes off his food, so I'm still giving him follow-on formula.

Whole milk or follow on. Jennifer is absolutley right, don't drop below 2% till 2 as they all have the same calcium content but under 2 they need the extra fat (lucky 2 year olds! LOL!)

The experts say whole milk or 2% until they turn 2 years old, by then they should switch to a nonfat milk such as 1% or skim.
