Anamika, try flavouring her milk with different things inculding maybe a bit of tea leaves; give it to her in small quantity first to let her accept it and then gradually increase the quantity; give milk to her in different forms such as fruit milkshakes etc; also figure out if the issue is only with the smell or does she feel nauseous, or discomfort in having it, or some physical problem. In the latter case, you might want to get her check for lactose allergy.
