The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends children ages 9 and older and adults consume at least 3 cups from the dairy group each day. Active teenagers with high calorie requirements of 3,000 calories or more may require 4 cups from the dairy group each day.
Between the ages of 1-3 years of age, a toddler should drink no more than 24 ounces of milk per day. I recommend that toddlers have 16- 18 ounces of milk per dayâ¦one cup at each meal. After age one, milk is a beverage and no longer a food. Interestingly, there is no minimum amount of milk that a toddler must drink.
