saw your tip to Christine abt adding diff flavours to milk
My daughter is 11 months old, Can I add vanilla essence to her milk ? is it safe ?
What abt choc ? Do u get anything specifically for young children or do u add the regualr choc syurp / pwdr ?


Urvi S replied. i used pure vanilla extract and not the essence.
about chocolate flavoured drinks for kids i have just read in some of hetal old posts and also in some links mentioned by her all the reasons why doctors don' t recommend any flavours before 15months.
one of the reasons i read is because of its high nutritional value.my kids were 14months so i started after asking my doctor. 1month difference was okay for my doctor.i now understood why my doctor didn' t suggest me until 14months. he said keep trying for milk but he never talked about nesquick. it was only after 14months, he told me to start it.
i used to give them formula and cheesy foods if they didn' t drink milk.

i don' t know about 11months old. i think nesquick is for toddlers and i will personally not give if my kids were of 11months.i don' t know other drinks. i have heard about horlicks ovaltine complan boost and hershey' s chocolate syrup. but i am in US and my doctor recommended nesquick only.
so please ask your doctor.
