Milk for a 6 year old

How much milk should I let my DD (6 years old) drink? She's tall and maybe a bit "robust" - so I'm a bit concerned about letting her have too much (wrt robustnes... I've got no problem with her being tall!) - the problem is she'd have loads and loads if I let her and she doesn't like drinking anything else either. She's just asked me for another big glass full and I feel a bit mean saying no. Gah.

I don't see much wrong with letting her have as much as she wants. As long as she is not drinking or eating loads of crap then I wouldn't worry too much.

Even full fat milk is only 4% fat, so not going to be a major contributor to robustness I think.
I would let her have it too.

that's a relief - thanks - I've been feeling definately rather rotten when her little face falls when I say no
