Indians didn't drink cows milk. They survived just fine. I am not really sure I feel 100% milk is totally needed. Although my kids do drink milk.

My daughter refused any milk at all until 100% weaned at almost 4 years of age. So far she has no health issues from being without cow's milk. I do however like my cheese so do serve a lot of it to my kids.

Perhaps if you serve cheese with snacks this will be the same as if she were drinking milk. I believe the milk is primarily for the calcium so it should be an adequate substitute.
