Debreciner Rov - Do Children Need To Wait Between Meat & Milk?

The Be'er Moshe (8:36) paskens that before the age of 3 years old 
there is no reason to wait between meat and milk. You may give a 
child milk as soon as the child finishes eating meat as long as their 
mouth is clean from meat. After age 3 he says you should wait one 
hour gradually increasing to 2 and 3 hours until age 6. At age 6 a 
child should wait the full 6 hours if that is his family's Minhag, 
unless the child is weak and only wants milk as opposed to other 
beverages. In that case he says 3 hours is enough until age 9.

He quotes the opinion of the Yagel Yaakov (2:88) that until the age 
of 9, three hours is enough. More lenient yet is the Chelkas Yaakov 
(2:16) who says that a child need not wait the full six hours until 
age 12. However, says the Be'er Moshe, it is not the Minhag today to 
follow these lenient opinions.
