Milk consumption

Milk consumption in excess of 750ml per day poses a risk for iron deficiency.

Dietary fat content: Restriction of dietary fat during the first 2 years is not recommended since it may compromise the intake of energy and essential fatty acids, required for growth and development. After 2 years, a gradual transition begins from a high fat milk diet to a lower fat milk diet, as per Canada’s Food Guide.

Choose foods with healthy fats (CFG) and limit foods containing saturated fat.
