Veggie baby!

    Hi all,

    My boyfriend & I have decided to raise our baby vegetarian like ourselves. I genuinely believe a vegetarian diet is a healthier & more natural way to live. The little man is 10 months old now with an ever increasing appetite.

    He already has plenty of iron & protein in his diet, but I'm wondering what's a good way to boost his B12 intake. I'd prefer not to give him supplements since I believe it's possible for him to get all the nutrition he needs from what he eats. Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food and all that jazz.

    He was breastfed for 6 months & is currently getting all his B12 needs from formula. But over the next few months he'll be having less of that. So I'm wondering if anybody has advice on what foods are best. He has no allergies to anything.

    And please, I don't need any veggie bashing! Please! A person doesn't need to eat meat to thrive. One needs the protein, iron & B12 that's easiest to find in meat, but is also found in other food stuffs! Thank you!

    Thanks! He has an egg every 2/3 days & whole fat cow's milk with his porridge every morning. That should suffice for the moment I'd say!
