Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
I can understand your concern.
For malnutrition you have to give your child home made foods such as upma, soji, khichdi with butter.
Avoid excessive milk or bread, biscuits which may not keep any room for home made foods.
You can try some apettite stimulent for example cyproheptidine and iron tonic after consulting with your doctor.
I assure you he will eat once you stop the milk.
Hope i helped you.
