All the Best ! Aarti replied. Dear Riya,

Has she had any type of milk other than breast milk? If not, it will take some time. But don't worry. Some tips -

- Instead of completely switching over to whole milk, try to introduce only for one feed per day and gradually increase.

- If not whole milk you can add formula like the other poster suggested. Even that, start for just one feed. You could try to dilute the milk/formula

- Do you have some way to express your milk? I have read that some mothers mix breastmilk with formula.

I would really not recommend adding sugar to milk. I agree, that was the way in which our elders did it. But as a nutritionist I hesitate to suggest it. If nothing else works, then you might be forced to add sugar. But try everything else first.

With regards, Aarti Kranti replied. Try adding some sugar if possible..since children tend to like sweet taste momtwiceover replied. Hi!Maybe it's too early see if you can wait for another month. If not then start with formula milk as it is prepared in a way that a baby can digest it easily. Directly starting with whole milk might not be easy on the stomach.all the best.
