Getting Your Baby On The Vegan Diet
If you are going to be putting your infant on a vegetarian diet when they are born, you should choose very carefully the formulas and solids that you will be giving your child.
If you are a vegetarian yourself, and plan on breastfeeding your infant then you may need to add nutritional supplements to your breast milk. A lot depends on your dietary restrictions. Vegan or ovo-vegetarians may need to supplement their child's diet with Vitamin B-12.
Your infant should still manage to get all the micronutrients that they need through breastfeeding even those that are a on a strict Vegan diet.
If breastfeeding is not a choice that you prefer, and you decide to opt for formula milk. Try to use the commercial formula milk that contains the proper ratio of nutrients in them. Homemade formulas and Soy milk formulas may not have the correct amount of nutrients, and could lead to your child experiencing developmental problems as they get older.
You can place your child on a Vegan diet as long as the Soy commercial formula has the proper amounts of nutrients in it.
After the first year it is possible to supplement your formula or breast milk with other nutritional items. You could add homemade formulas, Soymilk, Yoghurt or cow's milk for non Vegans.
A full fat, high protein diet with foods such as Yogurt, mashed avocados, eggs and cheese is recommended by nutritionists after your child is one year old.
When the time comes to switch to solid foods, you could add solid tofu, eggs and cheese and possibly pieces of vegetarian burger.
By increasing your child's protein and maintaining a full fat diet, you will be supplementing what a vegetarian diet lacks. Your child should develop as normal whilst still maintaining a healthy vegetarian diet.
