POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. If your 3-year-6-month-old child is not drinking milk and not eating food, it’s common but needs gentle and consistent steps to improve. Here’s what you can do:
1. Don’t Force Milk Milk is not essential if the child eats a balanced diet. Instead, offer: Curd (if not allergic) Paneer, ragi porridge, almond milk, or fortified plant-based milk Foods rich in calcium and protein: green leafy vegetables, dals, tofu 2. Boost Appetite Naturally Fix meal and snack times; avoid too much milk, juice, or snacks in between. Offer food every 2–3 hours in small, fun-looking portions. Use hunger-boosting herbal tonics like Aptivate or Zinconia (after doctor’s consultation). 3. Make Food Interesting Turn food into shapes, colors, or stories. Let your child help with simple kitchen tasks—this increases interest in eating. Eat together as a family. 4. Check for Underlying Issues
If the refusal is extreme, check for:
Constipation Worms (deworming may help if not done recently) Nutrient deficiencies
