Dear parents,
This is for you.
Stop giving milk from 8am to8am and give semisolid Diet like dal daliya khichi rice ALU kela upama halwa rab kadi patoliya idli poha satu custard etc.
For your knowledge 100 ml of milk giveses 70 calories and 100ml of juice give 55 calories and 100 GM of semisolid Diet gives 350 calories
If you understand above calories you get your answer.
Give milk from 8pm to8am upper limits is 400ml.
