Accepted Answer

The best times to give milk to kids depend on their daily routine, meals, and digestion. Here’s an ideal schedule based on age:

Best Times to Give Milk to Kids (1-10 Years Old)

🥛 Morning (After Waking Up - 7:00-8:00 AM)

Provides energy for the day. Can be given with dry fruits or soaked almonds for extra nutrition. Avoid milk on an empty stomach (better after light food like a banana or biscuit).

🥛 Evening (4:00-5:00 PM, After Outdoor Play)

Helps in muscle recovery and bone strength after activity. Can be paired with snacks like whole wheat toast, chikki, or fruits. Avoid giving it right before outdoor play, as it may cause discomfort.

🥛 Before Bed (8:00-9:00 PM, 30-60 Minutes After Dinner)

Helps in relaxation and better sleep. Adding turmeric, cardamom, or nut powder boosts immunity. Avoid sugar or chocolate-flavored milk at night (can cause hyperactivity). How Much Milk Should Kids Drink?

🔹 1-3 years: 1½ - 2 cups (350-500 ml)
🔹 4-8 years: 2-2½ cups (500-600 ml)
🔹 9+ years: 2-3 cups (600-750 ml)
