Is It Safe To Give Health Drinks To A One Year Old?
Question: Hi Doctor, my son has 16 month old. He is drinking cows milk after 1 year. But now he is refusing it.Shall i provide little amount of junior horlicks with the milk? or Can you suggest me the other complementary supplements.
Brief Answer:
Give him his choice...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Technically I do not see much difference between various health drinks. However it would be better to wait until he is 2 years and then start health drinks.
If you wish to start supplement, you can try lakrum powder. It is a powder prepared from cow's colostrum. It is not a health drink by definition but it aids in improving his health and immunity.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
