Milk is essential for the development of children, from bones to muscles.

 

Dairy products also provide protein and calcium. Paneer, chenna, and yogurt can be substituted for milk. For children, raita and paneer parathas can also be made with yogurt and vegetables.
Milk is as essential to the body as food. Milk is essential for everyone, from children to adults. However, some children are reluctant to drink milk or are unable to do so due to lactose intolerance (an allergy to dairy products). This increases the risk of various disorders in children. Milk contains protein, abundant calcium, and B12. If children do not drink milk, they may develop bone problems, certain skin conditions, muscle weakness, weakened immunity, and stomach disorders.
In such a situation, children can be provided with calcium and protein through other sources instead of milk. Lentils are a staple in our diet and are rich in protein. Therefore, instead of milk, children can be fed pulse-based foods. For this purpose, green mung beans, masoor dal, and black and white gram can be used. Whole lentils can be sprouted and given to children as chaat, or lentil and gram kebabs can also be made.
