Mango is not called king of Fruits for no reason.
It contains 20 different vitamins and minerals.
An average medium size mango gives 130-150kcal(100gms = 75kcal), so why shy away or fear mango.
3 small biscuits has more calories and no nutrition as compared to mango.
For children who need an alternative to cow's milk, soy milk is the best plant-based milk choice.
When u buy plant based milk, make sure they are not fortified with sugar
Under 5rs of age, medically plant based milks are not recommended, Unless a child has dietary restrictions

🔹Infuse the water for flavour-use lemon, mint,orange or strawberries for infusion
🔹Role-model by drinking water infront of ur child

Use the same trick for healthy foods and be creative with the way you style the food
