ss Shruti Iyengar replied. My kid never enjoyed milk..I tried couple of flavors/ bottles too..finally I started making fruit shakes etc. banana/apple/stawberry and he likes it now. reva replied. hi ss,
I guess many kids do show this aversion for milk all of a sudden when are about 2 years old, even my son did the same, but I tried giving him some cheezy food, sometimes flavoured hot milks instead, try giving him new varieties in milk shakes, they will show interest after some struggle,Never ever give them chocolates,u might get into trouble for chaning into a bad food habit , try veggies and dal, cheese toast and fruit yoghurts,u will make him healthier and brainy. nalini replied. i have 23 month old twins both boys now refuse to drink milk they seem to like milk chochlate a i give that as well as other food that contains milk and sometimes my siter comes with her baby if he wants to breastfeed my kids feel like doing so and i feed them

ss rajeev replied. Children's have tendency to do things which you ask them to restrain from secondly they tend to acuire which they don't have.Now first you stop giving him milk for atleast for a week then in front of give to somebody else be indifferent to him even if ask say you suggest not to take.after some time start him giving but never insist after he finishes praise him. It will work.send me result Anjali replied.
