I was wondering my daughter who is 16 months normally drinks 3% Homo Milk is it ok if I give her 2% Milk once in a while?

Perfectly fine, As long as you don't completely switch her. She still will need the fat content of the whole milk. I didn't switch my lil one until she reached the age of 2, just because 3% is so much more expensive.

It's fine, but you do need to make sure she's eating well. But as this age, she should be taking only whole milk. My pediatrician said it's best for them until they turn two years. After you can switch to 2%.
Good luck!

It would probably be ok, but pediatricians recommend whole milk until age 2 for proper growth and development. If you make the switch make sure you give her plenty of foods with calcium. You should speak with your pediatrician for advice.

I have four boys and when my first son was around that age he was slightly bigger than normal. My ped. recommended to give him 2% instead of whole just so that he wouldn't get too big. Right now I have a 18mo old and he is on whole he is at a normal size....sooooo I guess it is how your baby is growing.

It's probably better for her health to have 3%, if not whole milk while she is growing like she is.

2% is fine. just make sure you feed her nutitional solid foods to go along with it.
