A. For a one-year-old, it's generally better to offer age-appropriate nutrition. Horlicks is a nutritional drink that is typically intended for older children and adults and may not be suitable for infants due to its higher sugar content and specific nutrient formulation. ### **Alternatives for One-Year-Olds:** 1. **Infant Formula:** If you're looking for a nutritional supplement, consider using a formula designed for toddlers, like a stage 2 or 3 formula, which is specially formulated for their age group. 2. **Whole Milk:** If your baby is transitioning from formula, whole milk can be introduced around the age of 1, provided there are no allergies or intolerances. 3. **Balanced Diet:** Focus on providing a balanced diet with a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. 4. **Toddler Nutrition Drinks:** If needed, there are specific toddler nutritional drinks available that are formulated to meet the needs of young children. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods or supplements to ensure they are appropriate for your child's age and nutritional needs.
