Healthy Bones
Hi there!
I assume you want to know about calcium intake? A child between 1 and 3 needs about 700mg/d.
He can get that in other foodstuffs e.g. green leafy veg, other dairy e.g. cheese, yoghurt etc.
Don't know whether he is a fussy eater as well?
I suggest you speak to a dietitian for other options. Not all kids like milk!
Hope this points you in the right direction!
