A
True
B
Fasle
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A child who is 1 or 2 years old should only drink whole milk. This is because the fat in whole milk is needed for your child’s developing brain. After 2 years old, children can drink low-fat milk or even skim milk if they are overweight. Some children have problems from drinking cow’s milk.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kids this age don’t need special toddler milk or formulas, which contain added sugars. Toddlers can get all the nutrition they need by drinking cow’s milk or a fortified soy drink and eating a variety of solid foods. When your child is 2, you can switch to low-fat or nonfat milk.

Detailed explanation-3: -For toddlers over 12 months, they advise limiting the intake of cow’s milk to no more than 500ml (2 cups) in 24 hours. Water should be the main drink from 12 months. For good nutrition, toddlers need at least 1½ serves of dairy foods per day.
