Hi -

Fortunately, dairy-free foods are easily available at every
grocery store, and even more available at health food stores.
One thing you'll need to consider is just how hair-trigger
allergic your child is.  SOme ostensibly dairy-free goods have
a degree of cross-contamination risk.  Others have negligible
risk.

Kosher grocery stores and kosher foods are also great sources,
since kosher laws prohibit the mingling of milk and meat.

My web site has a practical introduction to the dairy-free
world.  WHen you get more sophisticated, this list can help
you with more unusual requests.

I hope this helps,
