at 11 months a child should be drinking breastmilk or formula. No other milk. If she has diarrhea she can have a banana, some white rice cereal or toast.
Shouldn’t you let her parents deal with her illness? Don’t give her anything without their consent, you could make it worse.

Without a known cause of diarrhea, the child should be under the care of a physician. Diarrhea can easily cause the death of an infant in a matter of days. The issue could be bacterial, viral… or milk-related. This child should be evaluated by a physician toot-sweet.
The above answerer is incorrect. Historically cow’s milk was given to infants (many baby-boomers got cow’s milk as an infant). Formula does contain more nutrients though and should be given if the child is not on solids yet (which they should be).
