Q: I have a 2-years-old daughter weighing 10 kgs. Her height is 89 cms. Despite all my efforts my baby does not eat any of the normal food that other children do. All that she demands is milk. I feel that her diet is incomplete and lacks the nutrition she needs. Please advise.

A:The best way is to stop her bottle feeding habit (if she is taking bottle feeds), otherwise reduce the intake of milk and milk products. Dont always give in to her demands of excessive milk intake.
