Brief Answer:
No effect
Detailed Answer:
hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concern.
cold drinks are carbonated beverages and 2 to 3 spoons will not have any effect on child.
The only effect that will occur is less of interest in other food items. Also, cold drink and milk should not be given together.
I suggest you to stop cold drink or give it occasionally and that too without any other food like milk.
I hope this helps.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
