Hi
Malted drinks have very high sugar content. You avoid that.
At 1& half years baby should get family food ( well balanced containing cereals, pulses in 2:1 ratio, green vegetables, seasonal fruits, milk or milk products, non veg if acceptable)
They should get 3 meals and 3 snacks of roughly 1 bowl each time with family and allowed to eat by themselves. At this age child has natural urge to mimic adults. so seeing adult eating in front of them will encourage him to eat.
Best wishes
