Kiddo hates milk n I have tried everything from Horlicks to smoothies to chocolate but nothing works.Is milk really necessary?Can't give paneer n spinach etc everyday so how would she get her calcium requirement?

Well! If your kid is rejecting milk and no way of making him drink is working, you better leave it and focus on other dairy products that he likes to have. It can be substituted with paneer, yogurt, egg yolk, salmons, tuna. Milk has got nutritional benefits of proteins and calcium which you can give the child in form of cereal, green veggies, broccoli, tofu, orange juice nuts etc. Sunlight too is a good source of Vitamin D, so you can make the kid play in the sunlight. http://eating-made-easy.com/kids-really-need-drink-milk/
