Children Waiting Between Meat & Milk
My son is nearly three years old. After eating meat, he wants to have his nighttime hot chocolate. How should I handle this matter? Is it forbidden for him?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
A child under age 3 may eat dairy immediately after meat, though the outside of his mouth should first be wiped of any meat residue.
From age 3-6, he should wait one hour. After that, one should slowly increase the time between meat and milk. A few years before Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the child should becomes accustomed to waiting the regular 6 hours.
For these types of questions, I recommend the excellent book, "Children in Halacha” (artscroll.com).
