What age can a child start drinking coffee?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not instead of milk: Children are not getting enough calcium and vitamind, found mostly in milk. If they are drinking 2 or 3 glasses a day, they can have coffee sometimes. Best after their growth spurts.

Never and Why?: Why should a child ever drink coffee unless totally decaffeinated. It has no strong nutrition al value. But in moderation, for no scientific reason, decaff over 2.
