Re: 5 yr old-MILK FREE-How to get CALCIUM in diet

fresh fruits and veggies with dip

plain yoghurt

orange juice fortified with calcium

A good liquid multi-vitamin or liquid calcium/magnesium supplement

Organic goat milk (very different than cows - closest to breast milk)

As much as your child needs to get calcium in his diet, the media and health "authorities" have hyped this up more than necessary. As it is a marketing ploy.

My child has never had cows milk, once in a while he will have goat milk. Most of the time he gets his calcium from his foods and a high quality liquid vitamin supplement.
