I think this is a no brainer, but this is my first baby. She's nearly a year old. She's been basically only breastfed and we're about to make the transition to milk. She doesn't really care for juice much, (or at least she didn't a few months ago when I last tried to give her some diluted apple juice.)
Her Dad and I drink skim milk. Everything I read says babies MUST have whole / homogenized milk until they are 3 or 4 years old. I'll certainly be following that direction. We'll have both at home.
But... let's say we run out of HER milk, or we're at a friend's place, or we sponaneously decide to go to a restaurant and I can't get home to bring her some "ideal" whole milk (sure I could stop at a grocery store first, but seriously who'd really do that on the way to lunch???)
My question then is: Occasionally, is whatever milk is available (skim, 1%, 2%) an okay choice ?
What would you pick?
a. skim, 1%, or 2% milk?
b. water?
c. juice?
d. soft drinks?
Thanks!
