    Once they turn 1 they actually don't need any milk (although bm is still really good for them). So there is no need to use cows' milk at all if you don't want to. What they do need is calcium. If you choose to use dairy, you can give her yoghurt or cheese instead of milk. Or you can go non-dairy if you prefer. You can use alternative milks, or even no milk at all. If you google vegan + calcium you can find lots of foods that have calcium in them.

    Maybe water down her milk a little bit? If she's ok with water & milk on her breakfast maybe the milk alone is too strong for her tummy?
