Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Milk is a good source of protein, calcium and fats and vitamins which are needed for the healthy development of children.
The nutrients of Milk are also available in other dairy products derived from milk like curds, butter (ghee), butter milk, cheese, paneer (tofu), etc .So you can include them in his diet.
If you do consume non-vegetarian food, then eggs are an even better source of proteins and calcium than milk. Oily fish and meat products provide a good variety of vitamins and minerals.
You can encourage your child to drink flavoured milk or use various milk based health drinks available in different flavours to mix in his milk but do remember that natural homemade food is the best for children.
