Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You can give him other sources of protein like paneer, eggs, milk. If he is not liking to chew roti you can make some wheat pan cakes. include lot of veggies and fruits in his diet. Try different variety of foods. Not only your child most of the kids have the same habit of not eating normal adult food. Trail and failure of the recipes is the only best option for kids.

When you are giving milk give him in the form of porridge by adding home made dry fruits and nuts powder. You can add Syrup Tonoferon and Bevon both are Iron and Vitamin supplements.

Investigation for the vitamin levels is not suggestive unless kid is very weak or fall ill very often.

Any issues, do follow up. Take care.

Regards
