Aversion to dairy foods

My five-year-old son doesn’t like dairy. I am worried about his lack of calcium and that it will affect his bones and growth. Should I opt for a supplement?

You will need to provide alternativ­e sources of calcium and protein. Soybeans, tofu, tempeh, sesame products, canned salmon with bones, and green vegetables are some options. I suggest you see a dietitian who has experience with children.
