Milk question

[Guest guest]

What sort of milk do ya'all use in your households?

Since January the boys and I have been living with my mom, and

neither of us drinks milk, so I have been buying just whole milk

because it's good for Ricky because of the calories. Andy's a little

guy so it couldn't hurt for him to have extra calories too.

But we're hopefully moving in with my fiance in January and he

drinks skim (non fat) milk.

Here I'm envisioning a refrigerator full of milk, because both Dave

(fiance) and the boys go through gallons of milk per week. I know I

could get milk cheaper at Costco if I bought it two gallons of the

same variety at a time, so it would be easier to switch only to skim

(and healthier for all of us).

My question again is what sort of milk does everyone buy? Or do

you buy more than one kind? Ricky's weight and height are in the

80th-909th percentile and Andy is past the age (3 or 4 I think)

where a child is supposed to have whole milk, even though he's

small. So I'm thinking it's okay but I'd like to hear what you guys

have to say.

Thanks in advance!
