I completely agree. I would arm the mother with knowledge of how she is
getting the nutrients that are commonly found in foreign animal milk through
other means. Because these people often are used to "carrots are good for
your eyes" and "milk is good for your bones", it doesn't occur to them that
there are other foods out there that could be providing the same benefit, if
not more.

All the best to you,
