Low fat milks are not the answer for an overweight baby. Conferring with a registered dietitian or pediatrician is recommended. The recommendation will probably be a reduction in the amount of intake, not the type of intake. Rapid weight loss can be dangerous, particularly in a small child. An extreme reduction of fat stores might not leave enough energy stores for the infant to combat a serious illness.
Many pediatricians question the serious unknown consequences of a rapid loss of fat.
