Hello ma.
Since your daughter is above one year you need not worry too much about her milk intake. On an average 300 to 400 ml of milk is sufficient for one day at this age. You can give it in 2 to 3 alliquots.Nutritional supplementary products are better started after 2 yrs of age. You can anyhow continue medicines prescribed by your Pediatrician for nutritional supplements.
Any further doubts I would be glad to clarify.
