Please help me,my 18-month old son refuses to drink whole milk.Ive tried everything,flavoured milk,Pediasure,nothing works,acc,to the doctor his weight gain is slow.Im so depressed,can someone plz advise??? Hetal replied. 1.increase her dairy intake like cheese, yogurt, and paneer,,as she does not like to drink cows MILK..make it a serving of each,,in each of her meals.
2. try offerng complan or ne such additivies and see if it helps.
3. wats her fav fruit,,if at all its banana or strawberry,,you can try offerng with milk(normal temperature,not cold),,and make a milkshake,,see if he accepts it.
4. sometimes smells makes them drink,,cardamom is great for that,,try to offer that !
5.throw in some interestng cereals like cherrios and ask her to drink,,it might interest her ! start your child on glass now !
6. see if certain temperature change in milk is liked by your child,,sometimes, some kids loved warm temp milk or some liked it cool or cold(not too cold,just a bit more cool),,,
or check on adding some sugar helps,,,18months is ok for sugar,,,just make sure to avoid sugar in her meals !!!!!!

7. your 18months is expected to eat as belw and dont compromise on your child dairy intake unless she is allergic to it :

or let me know her daily schedule and it will be easier for me to frame out a good one for your child !

go thru all of links and check on what your baby needs to eat...
