My baby has a milk allergy - please help!

[KylahsMom]

My husband and I found out that our 13 month old daughter, Kylah, that the dry patches on her body which looks like psoriasis was actually caused by a milk allergy.  Kylah's doctor told me how I could make rice milk so that I wouldn't have to buy it, but it has become such a hassle to make (takes a long time).  We tried buying the Rice Dream for her, but noticed that it is 99% fat free & we know that it is vital for children to get that fat in their diet for development.  Is there anyone out there that knows of a lactose-free milk for babies/toddlers that isn't a fortune??  Please help.
