Excellent question. Now if only there was an excellent answer.
Looking at the AMA's description of diary products it lists cows milk and all products made from milk, IE butter, cream etc plus certain other items as diary or dairy related.
However thinking logically about it. Human milk is produced in the same manner as cows milk. It has the same properties specifically vitamins and nourishment. The only difference is that cows produce milk at will, while Human Milk needs some sort of stimuli to be produced.
So I guess there really is no hard and fast answer to that question.

No.
Dairy products are those made from the milk of a cow.

Not that I know of, but the foods we eat make it a dairy product for the baby....for instance, 2 of my kids are allergic to milk. When I breastfed them, I had to completely redo my diet so I wasn't taking in any milk products, AT ALL, for one. The other one was not as allergic and could tolerate some dairy in my diet.

Ok . I am not jewish, but I did find a similar question on a Jewish website about staying kosher and such. Breastmilk is not dairy, but considered to neutral, like fish.

I think it only refers to the milk of a cow. There is room for a joke now but I shall resist it.

no. Dairy comes from DAIRY cows. Lactating women are not dairy cows.

i guess it would be, for an baby, not for an adult.
Oh if you are talking about that , due to a religious belief, I am not sure.
for Mike:
Cows do not produce milk at will. They have to have a baby to produce milk. When they are 2 years old they have their first baby, they then produce milk for 10 months, have 2 months off, have another baby, produce milk for 10 months....... this process goes on for 4 or 5 years, then they are sold at auction for comsumption.
Their milk is just never fed to their babies, it is pumped, like alot of working mom's do.

i think that's a great question and i have no idea what the answer would be or why you'd want to know....
I think you should get in touch with a religious rabbi and ask.
