Q: My 2 years old daughter takes only pediasure with buffalo milk. I heard that too much milk consumption causes anaemia in children. Would pediasure with milk help increase the iron content in the body?

A:Too much of milk doesn't cause anaemia. But if the child does not eat proper balanced food & drinks only milk then a lot of deficiencies can be caused. To increase the iron content in food eat green leafy vegetables & their juices, use vitamin C rich food like lemon, use ragi, dates, black til, bajra, other whole grains & sprouts in the diet.
