I've avoided milk products for years due to three babies & myself being
sensitive to them.  I used to feel a bit deprived.  But if this mom has
access to a food co-op/natural food store/whole foods she should be able to
find so many substitues she won't feel in the least deprived.  There are rice
& soy milks (I prefer Rice Dream to cow milk, personally), non-dairy ice
creams, sorbets, all manner of processed non-dairy candies & food, and more.
 In many baked goods that call for milk, water can be used with little change
in the finished product.  I've helped many moms with fussy/gassy babies over
the years by suggesting dairy-free diets.  If that's the problem, nothing
else is going to help.
