How Much Milk Can A Child Consume Per Day?

I have a 13 month of granddaughter - her mother thinks too much milk is bad for her and limits her intake to 16 oz a day. She thinks calicum is dangerous for her....I have never heard this, should they be worried about how much milk she gets a day?

Hello madam..
I understand your concern for your granddaughter and it's really appreciable. But you need not worry regarding her milk intake as the quantity you specified is enough for a child of her age (300 to 500 ml in a day).Excessive milk intake will suppress her appetite and make her not eat all the other nutritious food she should eat at this age.Too much of milk intake might also cause constipation problem. So you can be rest assured about the way your daughter is taking care of her.I would be glad to answer any further questions.
