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.
The amount of milk a child should consume each day depends on his age. A serving size of milk is equivalent to 1 cup, or 8 fluid ounces. If your child doesnât like to drink milk, other protein- and calcium-rich dairy products can replace cowâs milk in a healthy diet. These may include yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese and soy milk.
