Milk should not be more than 250ml per day....1 litre is too much so reduce the milk quantity....as excess milk reduce appetite and causes constipation...
Next Steps
give fruits and home made food more in quantity so kid gets enough vitamins and protein from cereals...

Animal milk can be introduced after 1 year of age. Local milk is okay so long as you trust the source, unlike packed milk which comes pasteurized. 1 litre is too much and can reduce the child's appetite for other food stuff. Better to restrict to about 250 ml a day.
Next Steps
you can introduce milk products such as curds too
