HI Hima,

If ur son likes milk then try giving him milk in different forms like suji kheer, oats kheer, raagi kheer etc along with jaggery. But i think a 20 month old child should eat a variety of foods and not only milk though milk should be the main daily diet as calcium is needed for the bones.

My son is 23 months old and he eats a balanced diet daily of either 1 of the above milk porridge for breakfast, for lunch rice, dal, veg or chicken, evening fruits with 1 glass of milk and night again either chappatis or rice with veg.

I could suggest create some interest for him, put him in front of the TV, let him watch cartoons while eating or taking him in the open or near some window so he could look out and eat. My soon usually eats food while watching cartoons.

All the best.
