Nutrition and health
The composition of milk differs widely between species. Factors such as the type of protein; the proportion of protein, fat, and sugar; the levels of various vitamins and minerals; and the size of the butterfat globules and the strength of the curd are among those than can vary.[31] For example:

Human milk contains, on average, 1.1% protein, 4.2% fat, 7.0% lactose (a sugar), and supplies 72 kcal of energy per 100 grams.
Cow milk contains, on average, 3.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 4.6% lactose, 0.7% minerals[32] and supplies 66 kcal of energy per 100 grams. See also Nutritional value further on.
Donkey and horse milk have the lowest fat content, while the milk of seals and whales can contain more than 50% fat.[33][34] High fat content is not unique to aquatic mammals, as guinea pig milk has an average fat content of 46%.[35]

Thanks for the information.

Based on my family's taste bud, Pura and Greenfields taste sweeter compare to Farmland and Meiji. So i guess is the different species of cows.

so far my kids have no problems with cold stuff. DS use to down a cup of yoghurt every morning. But for that I will take an unopened cup from the fridge while he is washing up. When he eats it, it's still slightly chilled but not cold.


was told dairy products breed bacteria very quickly, so I prefer to warm the milk over low fire in a pot when they are nursing a cold. No need to be steaming hot, just so that the milk is like room temp.

Yes, agreed.

My 5.5 yo DD doesn’t like formulae milk anymore. But she prefer the strawberry or chocolate fresh milk. Is it good in long run? Or should I persuade her to drink the fresh vanilla milk?


Which brand do you recommend?

[superdaddy000]

Meiji is good. They have chocolate, strawberry and original flavour. This should be enough to replace the normal milk powder.

Hi superdaddy000,


I'm worried on the artificial colouring which are added in the milk. I try to let her drink fresh milk, instead of the flavoured ones.

Do you know how much should a 5.5yo drink a day?

I heard goat’s milk is good for those who are prone to allergies. The milk has better absorbtion too. So if your child often has cough or nasal issues, it is worth trying a change of the cow milk to a goat one. The problem is if you start the child on it "later", she might not be used to the stronger taste.

My kids have been drinking fresh milk since 1.5. The reason was I couldn't find a formula for above 1-year-olds which doesn't contain any added sugar/sucrose/corn syrup etc. They started with full-cream fresh milk - farm house, meiji and for awhile organic milk (horizon and organic valley). Now drinking low-fat meiji and sometimes Nutrisoy soya milk (the no sugar one).


However, both are short and skinny compared to their peers. Not sure if it's b/c they started on fresh milk too early. I tried to introduce formula to them again but they don't like its taste anymore. Last week I found a pro-growth, high-protein formula. Although they're still quite reluctant to drink it, I'm going to try it for a month to see if it helps them to put on some weight
