Milk and food
My daughter is one year old and she still refuses any food. We tried different foods like dal rice, cerelac, boiled egg, boiled potato etc but she refuses without even tasting it. She consumes around 500-600 ml cow milk in the entire 24 hours. Is milk the reason she gets full and doest get hungry? Shall I stop giving her milk in the day and only give her at night while going to bed?

Yes milk is the reason she is not eating other food. Milk is not enough for her balanced nutrition and growth. She may develop iron and other deficiencies if taking only cows milk. Slowly decrease her cows milk. She will start eating after that. She must have green vegetables, salads and fresh fruits.
