POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. The recommended amount of dairy for an 8-year-old child varies depending on factors such as their overall diet, activity level, and individual nutritional needs. However, in general, the Dietary Guidelines recommend the following daily dairy intake for children aged 4 to 8 years:
- 2.5 to 3 cups of dairy per day
Examples of dairy servings include:
- 1 cup of milk (cow's milk, fortified soy milk, almond milk, etc.)
- 1 cup of yogurt
- 1.5 ounces of natural cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
- 2 ounces of processed cheese (such as American cheese)
Dairy products are important sources of calcium, vitamin D, protein, and other essential nutrients that are crucial for bone health, growth, and development in children. However, it's important to note that some children may be lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy products. In such cases, alternative sources of calcium and other nutrients should be included in their diet, and you should consult with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian for personalized guidance. Additionally, it's essential to encourage a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods from all food groups to meet a child's nutritional needs.
