Can we serve full-cream milk to children above 2 years old?

Question

Accepted Answer

Preschools are recommended to serve low-fat milk to children above 2 years old. This is because their nutrient requirements can be met by consuming a variety of solid foods apart from milk. Therefore, children above 2 years old are able to switch from full-cream milk to low-fat milk. However, if the preschool would like to continue to serve full-cream milk, it should be plain full-cream milk.
