Answer:
Hi Kell,
generally for toddlers on a full, healthy and varied diet 1-2 cups of milk or calcium-enriched milk alternatives is all they need per day (after a meal or snack in a sipper cup). It’s easy to tip the balance of the scales if you offer too much, in terms of both calcium and calories.

I have a tip sheet that can fill in all the details and background on this very topic, the link is:
