milk,milk for children,

It is important for the children to drink milk everyday.It is the resource of the daily calcium need to make their bones stronger and help them to grow faster.
Researchers noted that dairy consumption patterns have not changed recently. Doctors now recommend consumption of baby formula if the child is not nursing.

Starting with the second year of life, reduced-fat or fat-free milk is appropriate. However, children are still drinking whole-fat milk.

A cup of milk provides 250 to 300 milligrams of calcium, a cup of low-fat yogurt contributes about 400 milligrams of calcium and an ounce of cheese includes about 200 milligrams of calcium. In dairy products, about 32 percent of the calcium is bioactive and used by the body. Other sources of calcium such as soy milk and fortified orange juice at 300 milligrams are only about 25 percent available.

But still, the best milk for the children is the mother's milk for babay's up to 2 years of age.
