My sons not having enough food,milk
My Twin sons are 2 yr old and they are not drinking milk from bottle..Am using pediasure and sometimes Junior horlicks for diff flavor taste hoping atleast they would drink completely.
Summer is peak in my place so making them drink enough water.Also as for as eating food is concerned,it's not so great with them..sometimes they just take 5-6 bites and not taking any more..Am making lot of curd buttermilk in food and giving them for this summer.But I find too difficult to make them eat but am not forcing them too fearing they will develop aversion as one of them already have a habit of not taking food.
Am trying to transition to cup but can't be done at one and will take time to completely transition to it.Really worried about their intake of food and milk.
So till then how to make sure they drink milk fully? and also tips to make them eat plz..
There is nothing to get worries, kids are still learning to eat and the process of introducing different food groups is the job of the mother as in how creatively yet healthily you can grab your twins attention to eat.

Healthy morning,
Some of most common and effective things you can try to help your baby accept bottle - feeding include:
1. Wait until your baby is sufficiently hungry before feeding.
2. Try changing bottles size and shape , the-nipple or other aspects of the bottle to see what your body responds.
3. Experiment with the temperature of the milk or formula. Breast milk is lukewarm, so make sure the bottle isn’t too warm or cool
4. Hose your baby in a different feeding position and see what they respond to.
5 if your baby is teething, try changing the temperature of the milk , massaging the gums or otherwise helping them with pain of new teeth poking through.

Hi,
please don't rush for horlicks or pedisure if not prescribed by health practitioner, at this stage sometimes children are fussy in eating, give short and frequent meals don't engage them with gadgets etc.
