Milk: To drink or not to drink?

Some tips from Cadence Health
Milk is a common issue in the minds of many parents, but like most things in life balance is important. Excess calcium from milk can interfere with iron, milk can quickly fill tiny tummies then displace proper meals (often important in fussy eating), and the milk sugars may influence tooth decay. So here is a quick tip sheet for your staff and parents on milk, how much and the options if a child won't drink milk.

A Quick Tip:
Milk is a great source of calcium but in excess it can cause problems with appetite, fussy eating, iron absorption and tooth decay. If your child eats other calcium-rich foods such as cheese and yoghurt, they generally only require 1 - 2 cups of milk a day at the most.
