A 13 month old's RDA for calcium is only 500 mg.
(Source: http://www.iom.edu/includes/DBFile.asp?id=7294)

Human milk has 280 mg Ca/oz.  (Source: Harriet Lane handbook 15th ed p 500)
Pediasure (which is darned expensive; have you ever bought it?) is 970 mg
Ca/oz (!) (same source/page)

So unless this little one has some MASSIVE osteoporosis or something, baby
can get RDA+ of Ca in only 2 oz of BM.
