Why can babies only have full fat milk?

Just curious really. Is semi-skimmed bad for them?

Am thinking its because they need the fat

Yep. It's the fat content.

Skim won't hurt them...but it doesn't have the amount of fat they need...although I think there are other ways to supplement.

What the others said, it's the fat content that they need from the full fat
