Ofcourse milk is very important for growth of bones as thts the essential supplement for calcium.in addition to feddign him cereal/other solida with milk,try some flavoured milk varieties.he is now 13 motnhs and so there wont b any issues in trying him feedign the flavured milk like the ones we get in dairy centres,like cardomam milk,vanilla milk.then slowly u can change him to normal milk..u can also prepare kheer with milk and ghee and try feeding him.some kids like tht very much.but dont add much sweet to it.
this will anyway take some time..but will work.
all the best
regards!!
