Question : My son (3 years) hates milk and fruits. However, we take some time to feed him milk. But, we are never successful with fruits. Could you suggest a way to make him like milk and fruits. Thanks.

Brief Answer: Try milk shakes Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writingto health care magic. You can try giving milkshake with various fruits like strawberry , banana , etc. Once he gets used to them, slowly try cut fruits with honey and then switch to plain fruits. For milk try adding flavours like chocolate eg . Boost, bournvita . You can also try adding badam to get flavoured milk Hope that helps you Regards Dr Arun
