A number of my friends who are settled in US complain the same thing when they come to India. One of them when came to India once, simply did not give any India packet milk to her baby. For 2m, her kid was without milk. Infact, he was without much food options. She geadually trained the baby' s stomach to accept indian food. She had got Gerber food, and something more. She would give that, and started with 1 india food to get the toddler' s stomach accustomed.
So, all the baby was having was - US food and home made sabji roti. Soon he was set with sabji roti. Then she moved to other safe foods BUT never gave him packet milk.

Thus, one by one she got the baby accustomed to quite a lot India foods. Till then, she would go to stores where US products wre available - like Gerber food, peanut butter, cheerios, etc (it was a toddler not baby). She also got the kid first accustomed to Nan2 and Cerelac from india which are safer options.
Though the foods were meant for babies, she was giving it to the toddler, as it was nutritious and safe.

Thus after 6-7m when the kid was well adjusted, she introduced him to Nestle Slim Milk (tera pack one) but not to normal dairy packet milk.

Then after that, she trained him to regular packet milk.

She has been supplementing kid with vitamin/calcium as subscribed by US pediatrician.

See if this suits you. Please take decisons carefully as it is a matter of passing right nutrition to the kid.
