Melissa, Colin's doctor has said that he should stay on whole milk until around age 5 because they use the fat to develop nerves, which are growing and changing until around 5 YO.

Funny Jessica - Marisa's Ped (whom I've always thought was great) said after age 2, barring weight issues, they switch to 1 or 2% and they only need the full fat for the first two years. He doesn't do it for obesity reasons per se, more to help with cardiac issues later in life.

I've heard that too Karen, but I think the final decision probably depends on the LO and the family history and all that.

Definitely! I more just meant it's interesting that the doctors in general can't agree on what age full fat is needed for brain development, etc. TBH we'd have kept DD on full fat milk but (1) DH and I drink 1% and it's easy to have her on the same and (2) milk fills her up a lot and then she doesn't eat as well so the less calories in the milk the better she eats!

I have been thinking about the whole milk thing as well.  My DD seems to fill up on milk and then not eat breakfast or dinner.

So far today...
Breakfast-  I offered oatmeal.  She refused that and ate a few crackers.
Lunch- Homemade pizza- one slice and apple slices
Dinner- I have no idea what we are having tonight.

She usually does not snack, sometimes she will ask for one after nap if she did not eat well for lunch.  Usually she just has a sippy of milk after nap.

Stacy - I know, how cool is it that after her insane food pickiness/problems that she's a pretty good eater now? Still some issues but she eats better than most of my friends LOs and my nieces/nephews for the most part! Crazy. And Marisa has popcorn once in a while too.

Aisling - LOL about the egg "pits" and the being Jewish thing. DD is ADDICTED to pickles! And sauerkraut too!

Teresa - in addition to using 1% milk (but 2% would be fine too), we try to limit DD to 16 or so ounces a day (more if she's sick). If DD is really insisting on more milk but not sick, etc I may give her more if she's eaten well that day or I may give her more but water it down so as not to fill her too much...

Marisa will seriously grab saurkraut by handfuls when I serve it. LOVES it. Goes along well since we are Jewish and like a lot of traditional Jewish foods!

I know this is a little off the subject, but how are your LO's doing with table manners?  Our DD is 22 months and is acting like she is 8-10 months.  She never eats with a fork anymore (and she was doing very well).  She is throwing her cup when she takes a sip and sometimes throws some food too. Just wondering if this is part of some phase that they all go through or what.

Today-
Breakfast-1/4 slice of toast with butter
              6 oz. whole milk
              2 blueberries
Lunch-3 chicken nuggets
          a few apple slices

Breakfast - soft boiled eggs with dipping toast (dippy eggs & soldiers ;)) - ds would eat these until they were coming out of his ears, but we limited it to 2 eggs this morning (he has been known to eat 4 :o)
Snack - strawberry/blackberry/raspberry smoothie - shared with Mummy, but he pinched my glass and drank that too :D
Lunch - one of his faves - a cold mix plate. Today it was crusty French bread / sliced ham (more 'am, please, Mummy) / cheddar cheese / warmed sweetcorn
Forgot about afternoon snack :-[ (then I wonder why he was a whinging mess come dinner time ::))
Dinner - gammon / peas / parsnip croquettes (offered red cabbage, but apparently that's the devil's food ::))

Wooohooooo!!!!!!!!  Mouse and I often go out to lunch one day a week.  Various fast food places or buffets.  Today was KFC where I found something that looked like a chopped steak/sausage patty that had been breaded and cooked.   ???  Anyway, she tried it.  Took it out of her mouth.  I added ketchup, she tried it again.  Still did not like it, but as least she tried it!  Mama on the other hand still does not know what the heck that thing was.   ;)

We love doing that, Jenn - a little Mummy and Charlie time, even if it's just the local supermarket cafe (jacket potato with beans and cheese is a must for ds there :D)
