Milk is a source of high-quality protein, calcium and vitamin D, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that toddlers drink 3 4-ounce servings of milk per day. Children age 12 to 24 months should drink whole milk, and children over the age of 2 should drink low-fat (1 percent) or non-fat milk.
After 12 months of age, your child should not take more than 3 portions of milk products per day (one portion of milk = 1 cup or 8 ounces; one portion of yogurt = Â¾ cup or 175 grams; one portion of cheese = 50 grams or 1Â½ ounces). Children between 2 and 8 years need only 2 portions of milk products a day.
