Baby does not drink milk
My baby is 18 months old and doesn't drink cows milk earlier we used to give lactogen but based on our doctors advice we changed the milk. But she doesn't like cow's milk. Is there any drink for 18 months kid or can we use horlicks junior or pediasure?

hi, If your baby does not like milk and she is good weight and healthy, I would suggest do not force her for that, instead you may fill in the energy gap by giving her one egg a day 2 eggs are equivalent to 1 liter of milk nutritionally. Hope this helps
