My pediatrician doesn't care if he has milk at all, she said water or milk with meals, and water throughout the day. So I guess, if your son wants milk with meals, it's fine, as long as he's drinking water in between.
We're opposite.. water with meals, and milk with snacks or to chill.

what if he depends on it at night before going to bed

i limit mine to no more than 24oz per day per their pediatrician suggestion.

as long as he's eating a balanced diet then I see no issue, but do be aware of of his teeth. Eventually, the last step before bed has to be brushing his teeth.
Milk, especially in a bottle setting in his mouth all night will ruin his teeth.

good to know thank you!

Pediatrician suggest no more than 24oz per day

We don’t do any straight milk at all and our kids are growing just fine. We tried with both and they got constipation from it. So we do cottage cheese or mozzarella sticks etc. for them to have their milk intake. I’m the same I can’t drink straight milk so maybe I’m the one to blame 😂

What kind of milk are your kiddos having ?My son doesn’t really like any milk prefers breast milk
