That's 34oz of milk. Wayyyyy too much. I can't remember the recommended amounts but pretty sure it's something like 16-24oz max. As playfelt said it is a vicious cycle - the kid doesn't eat so mom feels the need to give lots of milk but the milk prevents the kid from needing to eat. Can you find some research that discusses the maximum recommended amounts and the negative impacts of too much milk? Maybe mom is just misinformed about the benefits of milk?
I would expect that even if you convince mom of lower the daily intake there will be a difficult period of the child still refusing to eat since the habit is there.
