| | Dudh/Pani/etc Pee Le | Explanation:
Your question is... "(Child,) drink your drink." and while addressing it to an infant / a child in Gujarati, literal wordings would be like "Taru Peenu Pee Le". However, it's not something that's well said / widely spoken across the community in routine life. Pl. check following:
Child = In Gujarati for son, "Beta / Dikra". For daughter, "Beti / Dikri".
Drink (Noun) = Milk (Dudh), Water (Pani), etc
Drink (Verb) = "Peevu, Pee Le", etc
Ideal / routine words used are...
1. (Beta/Beti) Dudh Pee Le
2. (Dikra/Dikri), Pani Pee Le
Here above, "Pee Le" is most ideal way of saying it politely in Gujarati as you specifically asked. However, if you say just "Pee" (like “Pani Pee”) in Gujarati, then it becomes an ordered way (like showing angriness, etc) by saying so.
Also, "Di" in "Dikra/Dikri" is pronounced like DINAR, DIWALI, etc
"Du" in "Dudh" is pronounced like Dubai, etc
Please feel free to ask for any clarifications.

Beta/Beti or Dikra/Dikri are said explicitely as well (before the above wordings) just to fondle the child somewhat in order to make him/her drink milk, etc wishfully. |

4 hrs confidence:  taru pinu pee; taru pinu pee ley
Explanation:
taru means 'your'
whatever the case may be you can use either:
' 'pinu' is a drink, paani' is water , 'dhoodh' is milk.
pee means drinkand ley can be used instead of please or to be polite..
Ley actually means take.
