Can I give my toddler semi-skimmed milk and low fat foods?
Cow’s milk whether it’s whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed contains the same amounts of protein and calcium. There is less fat, calories and vitamin A in semi-skimmed and skimmed milk and so should not be given to children under 2 years old. Toddlers that are eating well can be given semi-skimmed milk after the age of 2. Skimmed milk is not good for children under 5 years old.
Low fat foods are not good for toddlers as a time when they are in rapid growth and are moving around a lot. This means they need lots energy from the food they eat.

What you say
"I just wanted to write and say how impressed I am with your products. Having a 2 year old and with another baby on the way, sometimes I just don't have the energy to cook and it makes such a nice change to find a quick and easy meal for my little girl which I trust entirely! ...The fact that your meals are appealing and with no added nasties has really put my mind at rest (and I have to say that I love your packaging too!). We have tried the Pasta with Cheese, Peas and Broccoli Trees and the Fish Pie and we look forward to trying the rest of the range!"
