Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I didn't like milk as a baby either. I still don't like it. It makes me sick. Dairy is not good for all people especially blood type O. I wouldn't force it on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Combination of whole grains and lenses/mung beans/chickpeas/soy is very good for protein intake and even healthier that a diary diet, you may add lots of vegetables, (broccoli contains proteins) and almonds and nuts , eggs from time to time and you don t have to worry at all _________________ My daughter refuses to drink milk and I am concerned she is not getting enough vitamin d and calcium.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Dev, Thanks for the reply. She eats fruits but does not like veggies. We are trying to add veggies to paratha..etc. and that seems to be going okay for now. ______________ if she likes the green vegetables? give her lots of that kinds of foods...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 you try milk maid pasted on bread.or try milk powder made as halva or try chocolate drinks in milk; also try lassi. try walnut and almonds for brain strength along with ghee; what ever brain power one has, their behavior will be like that of their genes. They will be brilliant but does not mean they will get a first rank in studies. To get first mark one has to concentrate on studies and work hard.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ninety percent of Indians use milk in the form of coffee , tea, buttermilk , many sweets are also consumed made from milk. I think the average consumption may vary 500 ml to one liter a day. this is approximately 200 liters or one barrel a year if one lives eighty years , in his life time he has consumed 80 barrels milk and this may contain approximately 3 barrels butter. Most of us are healthier. Also I see life span is high among milk users in villages than low milk consumers. R.Vidhyasagar. _________________ Dairy is not good for all people especially blood type O.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Kuldip, Nowadays many children are having this dislike of milk and dairy. Author is trying to fathom the root cause and has had somewhat success in arriving at some theory. To consolidate it he would like to ask details of your daughter's fetal life. Fetal life means the period from conception to one year after birth. Specifically following questions arise. If you wish, you can answer them off the list or keep total silence, your choice. 1. Did her mom take sufficient milk during pregnancy? If so where you are located? not the address, but country is adequate. 2. Was she born with C-section/foreceps? Was she induced (pitocin injections to initiate labor) 3. Has she taken vaccines? 4. How long she was nursed(breast milk)? If so did she have problems with breast milk? 5. When did she start solid food? 6. Has she been suffering from frequent (say 6-8 week frequency) cough-cold-fever etc 7. Does she suffer by allergic reactions(itching, rashes, thrush, rhinitis) by dairy? Dr Bhate ___________ My daughter refuses to drink milk and I am concerned she is not getting enough vitamin d and calcium. We give her cheese and sometimes she eats it but most of the time refuses most dairy products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Instead of giving her milk why not give her ghee? Ghee is a food that contains vitamins A and D, enhances digestion, and nourishes the nervous system. It is one of the well-known medhyas or brain tonics. 1-2 tspns a day is sufficient, on her food. To stimulate the brain, start teaching her new things, and expose her to a variety of experiences (e.g. music, travel, language). Exposing her body to some sunshine every morning builds up more vitamin D than any food or supplement. Green vegetables and fruits are a good source of calcium, as well as nuts like almonds and sesame, which can be ground into a paste. Don't give too much cheese, especially at night, as it can be hard to digest. Weight and height are determined by various factors. The main thing is, does she appear to be thriving and healthy? If so, don't worry about weight and height.
