Semi skimmed milk with porridge?

Milk is fine to use as an ingredient in cooking ie porridge, pancakes, overnight oats 😊 preferably full fat version for babies 😊

My breastfed baby refused to eat porridge with cows milk though, be warned🤣

You have to use full fat cows milk. Semi-skimmed is only to be used for 2 years+.

The guidelines on milk changed recently and you no longer have to use full fat milk - all down to preference now 😊.

@Lesley what’s the reasoning behind this ad I’ve been giving cereal with ss 🫣

@Holly I’m not sure where you heard the guidelines have changed. Looking online from March 2024 a NHS document still states under 2 shouldn’t have semi-skimmed milk. 🤷‍♀️ I would ask your HV to confirm if advice has changed. https://www.wwl.nhs.uk/media/.leaflets/66029cb4b4b781.74646237.pdf

@Lesley Thankyou ❤️

So as a one off if all u have in is ss milk then it's fine but if u want to use cows milk all the time in cereal then the full fats best as that's got what's needed

Weird 👀 I’m still going to give full fat cows milk for my LO until they are two. 🙃

I use whatever we have- I buy her a pint of whole milk for the week but we use semi skimmed so if the whole milk runs out I use the semi skimmed.

@Lesley I heard about it from a children’s nutritionist following a scientific research paper (my partner is a research scientist) but think it was only in the last year it’s changed. I don’t think it makes much difference at this point anyway as they’re not drinking it as a drink, so I’m just using whatever milk I’ve got in in their food and will see what I want to do when the baby starts proper drinking it!
