When Kids barely eat anything, we always make them have milk. We think that by making the child have milk, at least he/she will have eaten something. But this is not the case at all. In fact, by making the child have milk, we are unconsciously reducing the child’s appetite for his/her next meal. Instead of milk, make kids have dairy products such as curd, butter, and paneer.
Peanuts contain appetite-increasing and protein-increasing components that are extremely beneficial for kids. Give kids peanuts in any form, be it by roasting the peanuts or by making kids have peanut butter.
