Hi can I give this to my 2.8years old baby girl… If we give daily turmeric will it effect my baby in any ways. Daily adding Half teaspoons of turmeric to milk.
Hey Devika,
Yes, you can feed Turmeric daily to your child. But it is best if you feed this on alternative days. A child needs to expand her taste buds and gets used to other flavored milks.
Great recipe, gave it to my 1 year old in the morning minus the almond powder, she’s been having dry cough at night and we had our first night without any cough. Definitely a keeper!

Dear once a day you can give one tea spoon to start with and eventually increase the quantity a bit in the days to come.

I would recommend you make it fresh dear. You can keep the ingredients ready and mix as and when served.
This is really good..as my 13 months lo is prone to cold..could I give this to her even when she has loose stomach..how many times a week could I give this milk to her??
Oh I am glad the little one likes it. You can give either daily in very small quantities or alternate day. Just don’t over feed this also.
