I don't think I understand.  If your daughter is allergic to cows milk, why do you want to include it in her diet?

Hi,

'The only way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid milk and milk proteins altogether. This can be difficult, as milk is a common food ingredient.

In children who are allergic to milk, breast-feeding and use of hypoallergenic formula can prevent allergic reactions.

Breast-feeding is the best source of nutrition for your child. Experts recommend breast-feeding for at least the first six months of life if possible. Breast-feeding may reduce your baby's chance of developing a milk allergy. Your doctor may also recommend eliminating cow's milk from your diet while nursing your baby.

Hypoallergenic formulas are produced by using enzymes to break down (hydrolyze) milk proteins, such as casein or whey.

Soy-based formulas are based on soy protein instead of milk. Soy formulas are fortified to be nutritionally complete — but, unfortunately, many children with a milk allergy develop an allergy to soy.

If your child is on a milk-free diet, your doctor or dietitian can help you plan nutritionally balanced meals. Your child may need to take supplements to replace calcium and nutrients found in milk, such as vitamin D and riboflavin.'

You could read more about the condition at the following links -
