POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It’s quite common for some toddlers to show a strong preference for milk and refuse solid foods, but at 2 years old, your daughter should ideally be eating a variety of solid foods to meet her nutritional needs. Relying mostly on milk can lead to issues like iron deficiency, poor weight gain, and possibly even stomach discomfort or constipation, which may explain her tummy aches.
Here’s what you can do:
Gradually reduce milk intake to about 400–500 ml per day, so she feels hungry enough to try solids. Offer small, soft, and favorite foods like mashed potatoes, soft rice with dal, banana, yogurt, or paneer. Make mealtimes fun and stress-free. Let her eat with family, use her own spoon, or try finger foods. Avoid force-feeding — instead, offer food at regular times and remove it after 20–30 minutes if she refuses. If she complains of frequent stomach pain, it could be due to gas, constipation, or food intolerance — it’s best to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issue.
Consistency and patience are key. Most children eventually start eating solids when gently encouraged and when routines are in place. Let me know if she's gaining weight normally or if there are other symptoms — I can help you more specifically.
