Hi,
Firstly, eating too much milk will suppress her appetite for solid food because giving milk will create stomach fullness. Second- if she will not eat balanced nutrient diet including proper ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, vitamins and mineral she will be malnourished soon. She needs 10 oz milk just in 1 time and rest she should take egg, bread, meat, cereals, vegetables and fruits. Please take caution if there is any food allergy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Don't worry, no problem. It is safe, relax. Take milk in balance on the need of body per day. Over consumption can lead to bloating and acidity.
