Doesnt eats food
Hi, my son is 15 months old and he doesn't wants to take meals. He prefers to be on cow milk and even doesn't takes water. We have taken all measures to make him eat and drink but he simply refuses. Please advise.

A very simple technique for you, just stop giving him milk. He will throw tantrums for three days I can assure you fourth day he will forget about milk and start eating food. Remember you will have to be strong for those three days.

What you missed is early food supplementation. Needed to give weaning foods from the age of 6 months and by 1year child should be eating all regular foods that are made in household. If this step is not followed all food tantrums start. Though late start first feed in the morning as solid food and slowly wean off milk some medication is available to apply to breast so that child stops feeding under medical guidance.
