My mom said you only need milk occasionally. Am I supposed to drink an 8 oz cup or 4 oz. Or should I do as my mom says?

I'm not allergic. My mom just doesn't really like milk.

you should drink 2-3 8oz glasses of milk a day. if you are still young (under 20) the more the better and drink whole milk it has more calcium for growing bones.

Milk is very good for you and depending on your age, it will help you grow. Drink at least 2 or 3 cups of a day, if possible. I would go with an 8 oz. cup. If the reason why your mom said for you to drink it occasionally is due to you having an allergic reaction to milk, then don't drink too much and listen to your mom. ^^

Milk began containing differing amounts of fat during the 1950's. A serving (1 cup or 250 ml) of 2%-fat milk contains 285 mg of calcium, which represents 22% to 29% of the daily recommended intake (DRI) of calcium for an adult. Depending on the age, 8 grams of protein, and a number of other nutrients (either naturally or through fortification):
Vitamins D and K are essential for bone health.
Iodine is a mineral essential for thyroid function.
Vitamin B12 and Riboflavin are necessary for cardiovascular health and energy production.
Biotin and Pantothenic Acid are B vitamins important for energy production.
Vitamin A is critical for immune function.
Potassium and Magnesium are for cardiovascular health.
Selenium is a cancer-preventive trace mineral.
Thiamine is a B-vitamin important for cognitive function, especially memory
Conjugated linoleic acid is a beneficial fatty acid that inhibits several types of cancer in mice, it has been shown to kill human skin cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer cells in vitro studies, and may help lower cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis; only available in milk from grass-fed cows.
Studies show possible links between low-fat milk consumption and reduced risk of arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, and obesity. Overweight individuals who drink milk may benefit from decreased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

It depends. Are you a baby cow? If not, then you do not need to drink any cow milk. You can get calcium from many types of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
Check out this site for more information on how much calcium is in those foods. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR17/wtrank/sr17a301.pdf

If you are no longer an infant, you should not drink milk at all. You should be eating solid food. I would suggest raw fruits and vegatables and spring water.
