hi...my son doesn't like milk,he is 3 yrs old and very naughty anyhow he is not ready to have milk.....what shud I give him instead of milk.....plz suggest.

A. hi as kids grow they gain their self identity and have their own likes and dislikes. so it is common problem. just keep offering different dishes with different taste and different texture. as your child doesn't like to drink milk, offer it with different flavors like kesar milk, fig milkshake, dates milk, milk with honey etc. buy a special cup or glass as per your child choice it will help to encourage him or her to drink milk from it. set good example by drinking milk with your child. tell stories for this. although if your child doesn't like it then offer other food items like ragi, nuts,other dairy products which are also good source of calcium. provide apt sun light at least 20 minutes a day
