POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. It sounds like your daughter is dependent on milk and not interested in eating solid foods. This is a common issue in young children, especially when they are used to getting all their nutrition from milk. Since her mother is not paying much attention to her eating habits, it might be helpful to make some changes at home.
What You Can Do: Gradually Reduce Milk Intake – If she drinks too much milk, she won’t feel hungry for solid food. Reduce the quantity of milk and offer food first. Make Mealtime Fun – Sit with her, eat together, and make food colorful and interesting. Introduce Finger Foods – Offer small, easy-to-eat foods like cut fruits, boiled vegetables, or small sandwiches. Avoid Force-Feeding – Let her explore food at her own pace. Forcing food can create a negative association. Encourage Her Mother’s Involvement – If possible, have a conversation with her mother about the importance of balanced nutrition. A mother’s presence and encouragement can make a big difference. Set a Routine – Fix mealtime schedules and avoid giving milk in between meals. Try Different Textures and Flavors – Experiment with different types of food to find what she enjoys.
If she still refuses to eat, a pediatrician or child nutritionist can help with further guidance.
