A. Our pediatrician says such supplements tend to alter the growth hormones of the kids now and later cause obesity when they grow up into adults. So it's better to stick with plain milk and some home made nuts powder along with natural sweeteners like palm sugar or palm candy or jaggery or brown sugar to enhance the flavor. For improving the immunity, you should be giving a healthy and balanced diet. The child's regular meals should comprise of cereals, pulses, greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dry fruits, dairy products etc., There should be more protein and Vitamin C intake which are very good in building immunity. Vegetables, fruits and spices protect the child from falling sick, cereals, nuts and dry fruits provide energy, protein rich foods help in the child's growth and Milk and milk products does all three jobs - protection, energy, body building. You should make sure all these are in balance in ur child's regular meals.
