Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Hello, I just joined! I read about this group on the back of the Vegetarian Journal. My name is Hadass Eviatar, and I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with my husband and two little guys (ages 4.5 years and 17 months, respectively). My husband and I have been vegetarians for almost 7 years now, and so the boys have never known anything else. My older son is an extremely picky eater. My second son will eat just about anything that doesn't eat him first 8-). Both were exclusively breastfed as infants, and introduced to solids in much the same way - homemade veggies and fruits, baby cereal. My older son had a dairy sensitivity so was not introduced to dairy products until about 18 months when it went away. He now lives on cheese and yoghurt but still prefers to drink soymilk. He will occasionally eat baked tofu but wil not touch any kind of pasta, including pizza (strange kid). He loves peanut butter but of course it is now banned from daycare <groan>. We've had good success with soynut butter ... but it is SO expensive! Anyway, I'm here to exchange information with other parents about getting our kids to eat healthy stuff, and dealing with the inevitable peer pressure (Mom, how come I've never been to McDonald's?? Answer, there's nothing there we can eat, sweetie ...). I'll be looking forward to meeting you all. Be well, Hadass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
