Accepted Answer

hi...Try to warm the milk before offering it. Most of the time, toddlers refuse the milk, as cold milk is unusual for them. A slight temperature variation can do the trick.
 If the child doesn’t seem to like the taste, you can consider giving it as a milkshake or mixed with other food such as cereal, porridge etc. It also helps make the milk look interesting by adding natural colours to it.
Make milk-drinking fun for your child! Create positive associations with verbal or other rewards for drinking milk each day.
Offer it in a colourful sippy cup or with a straw.

Try giving different flavours of milk : almond milk, turmeric milk, kesar milk etc. Give fruit milkshakes and fruit smoothies and add dry fruits powder to them. Other calcium rich foods are cheese, yoghurt, chickpeas, navy beans, oranges, broccoli, soy milk, soy yoghurt, tofu, almonds, spinach, okra, amaranth, green peas, french beans, cluster beans, kidney beans, soy beans, ragi, bajra, brown rice, red meat, chicken, fish such as tuna, salmon, shrimp, trout, cod and sardines, sesame seeds. These can serve as substitutes for milk as these are good sources of calcium.
