Mom, why can't I have my milk again?

Some kids are lactose intolerant, and this can trigger parents to stay away from dairy products completely, but not so much anymore!
Milk products are so beneficial for a child's development that when they are not allowed to have any due to being lactose intolerant, they can deprive themselves from calcium, which is vital for bone development.
For a lactose intolerant child, explore other options of calcium enriched foods. Yogurt and cheeses are great sources and have less lactose but just as much calcium as milk!
Moderation is key! Let the kids have a little of their favorite foods again!
