Energy drinks are not required.
Babies of this age needs healthy homemade food than liquid iteams like milk. If baby doesn't like milk don't force him ( definately not before 2 years).

Wait till the child is 2 years old and then you can start him on Junior Horlicks or Groviva powder. Pediasure you can start once he is 3 -4 years of age
