Hi,
You didn't have mentioned the reason behind it, is she have milk allergy? Milk and milk products is good quality source of calcium. If you don't want to give her milk, then you can give dahi, paneer etc. Except that different green leafy vegetables, legumes , ragi etc are good source of calcium. If you want to avoid citrus fruits you can get vitamin c from guava, apple , leafy vegetables etc. To boost immunity power good quality protein, fresh fruits and vegetables should include in daily diet.
Next Steps
You can chat directly with me through this practo app for further discussion.
