Unsure about where u can buy gold top milk, but a friend of mine buys jersey (or guernsey) milk from Tescos - usually above normal milk in round-ish bottles - this is rich and I think this is similar to gold top. I am sure other supermarkets will stock similar type products if u dont regularly shop at Tesco.

Another idea - do u have a local milkman who could deliver gold top.

have a word with your local milkie - he should be able to get you some. My dad's been really ill recently and he had to have mega full fat milk, so milkie delivered it. My grandma used to get green top - unpasteurised, but I don't think you can get that nowadays. (H&S and all, I expect)

Maybe health food shops would have it, or know where you can get it. If you want to make ordinary milk a little more calorific in cooked dishes like sauces or milky puddings you can add powdered milk to it to bulk it up

Ticklemouse

Depending on how you are giving it to your child ie plain milk, milkshakes or milk puds, you could always add cream to the milk, especially in dishes where it wouldn't necessarily be noticeable. My dad used to add cream to soups, porridge, drinks - whatever he could get away with.

Sainsburys sell it but it is called breakfast milk (or something like that) I use it when I'm having porridge!

thanks to all for your suggestions.
i didnt know milkies still existed. havent seen any for quite a while.
i think easiest thing to do would be to add cream to pasteurised milk to make it high in calories

Mix in a blender 1 very ripe amost black banana, 2 tablespoons of powdered milk, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 glass of whole milk. This combination taken with meals has helped many people put on healthy pounds.

rabialiones don't know if your little one would like it but maybe worth a try.

You can also buy milk for undernourished people (seen it in suopermarket nd hospitals) whihc is often used for older people who need a small volume, high calorie product.

Can try and find the name if you want...let me know.
