& Milk?<br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. <br>
