Maternal & Child Health Professional:  What about drinks? What does he like to drink?

Parent:  Well he really loves his milk, which is great.

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  How much milk would he drink in the day?

Parent:  Oh, he probably has a couple of glasses of milk, yeah.

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  What kind of milk do you buy?

Parent:  You know just the full cream milk that you give to kids.

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  Okay, well when kids are past 2 it’s fine to give them the lower fat milk.

Parent:  Really?

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  Yes.

Parent:  Does it have enough calcium in it?

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  It does, in fact probably mostly a little bit more calcium than the full fat milks.

Parent:  Oh, okay.

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  That would be something good for you as well, so that’s something you can have the same milk for the whole family and that’s a change you could make.

Parent:  Yeah that would be a lot easier. (nodding)

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  It’s a bit of a messy thing having different… 

Parent:  Two different milks in the fridge. (laughing)

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  Is that what you do at the moment?

Parent:  Well yeah, yes my husband and I have low fat milk. 

Maternal & Child Health Professional:  No, no he should be sharing and having the low fat milk.
