How much does my child need?
From 1 to 2 years old, the recommendation is 4 servings of dairy per day.
One serving equals:
½ cup whole milk
1-ounce cheese
½ cup yogurt
Offer whole milk until your child is 2 years old. After that, offer a low-fat (1%) or fat-free milk, unless your child’s health care provider directs you otherwise.
