LOL that was a long title.
Hi all I am hoping to find other mums and dads to hold my hand with converting my families diet to essentially vegan.
I have a 10 year old (Hannah) DD who is happy to be veg*n BUT she HATES most veg and beans...she is working on it. She is lactose intolerant.
I also have a 2.5 year old DD (Lielle). She is quite good with veg and non meat foods and will also drink flavoured soy milk. I am still giving her cows milk and yoghurt as I dont feel confident dropping dairy. I also give her canned baby food every second day which has meat in it. Again its just confidence as I am not fully clued up on how to provide a balanced intake of food for her minus animal products (yet).
And I have a 10 month old DD too (Mersey). I have switched her with some reservations to soy formula.
She began life on cows formula as my boobs did not even lactate at all! Nothing worked.
Now she is on soy based formula and she loves it.
She loves her food too and eats pretty much what we eat just cut up small. But I also give her yoghurt and canned baby food with meat every 2nd day till I feel confident I have substituted all the necessary nutrients in her diet with a veg diet.
As for DH and I. Well at the moment we are not eating meat and I am not eating dairy or eggs but we have not exactly learned how to plan a well balanced veg*n diet yet. We need
LOL.
Well thats a long intro. I hope to get some friendship and support from more clued up and confident mammas.
