[QUOTE="One-Foot-Eight, post: 1958525, member: 492640"] I haven't had time to read the whole thread so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned. I am totally against giving children a vegan diet because I'm sure that there are some nutrients which cannot be gained from even a vegetarian diet. When my eldest was small you could buy a vegetarian formula - Hipp Organic. Before my youngest was born Hipp changed the forumla to include fish oil and removed all references to being vegetarian. The reason they did this was that the evidence was overwhelming that LCP's were essential in helping with the development of baby's brains and these are not present in cow's milk. To add them to forumla they use oil (I believe from tuna fish eyes). If there are essential nutrients missing from a vegetarian diet surely there are going to be even more missing in a more restricted diet. This is why I'm against restricting babies and children to a vegan diet. I also believe vitamin B12 is missing from a vegan diet though it is added to vegan "milk" such as almond milk. [/QUOTE]
