Hi
If your child is allergic to dairy contact doctor or dietitian for advice. Many foods contain ingredients that are derived from dairy see http://www.allergy.org.au/patients/food-allergy/cows-milk-dairy-allergy Dairy is a great source of Calcium which is important for growing strong healthy bones, in history children have suffered from Rickets as a result of lack of calcium in the diet, so it is important to find an alternative source of this vital nutrient, supplements may or may not be the answer your doctor or dietitian can help with this.
