No need to stress. If the child is eating a balanced diet, milk is not necessary.
You can include other sources of calcium, like paneer, curd, beans, tofu etc.
Milk is an essential part of diet is a myth.
Next Steps
Give other food substitutes, like I have explained.
If your child seems underweight or has frequent body ache, we can investigate for hypocalcemia and vitamin d deficiency, in which case supplementation can be given.
Hope this helps
