POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month4 months agoA. At 1.6 years (about 18–20 months), if your son doesn’t drink milk, it’s okay as long as he gets enough nutrients from other sources. Milk is a good source of calcium, protein, and vitamin D, but these can be provided through:
Curd/yogurt, paneer, and cheese Tofu or soya milk (fortified) Ragi, green leafy vegetables, eggs, dal, and nuts (in paste form)
Regarding Bournvita, it’s not generally recommended for children under 2 years, as it contains added sugar, cocoa, and ingredients that may not suit infants or toddlers. It's better to wait until he is older.
Instead, you can try toddler-specific nutritional supplements like PediaSure, Junior Horlicks (Stage 1), or SimMom IQ+ (check age suitability) after discussing with your pediatrician. These are formulated to support growth when food intake is limited.
Always consult your pediatrician before starting any supplement to ensure it suits your child’s nutritional needs and development stage.
