Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Although not vegan, I believe the first addition was vegetarian and the second edition added a section about meat, it has great vegetarian recipes (that I'm sure could be made vegan), for making cereal for babies all the way up for healthy snacks and meals for toddlers. I believe the website is www.superbabyfood.com I've also seen several on eBay. Another book I really liked (although I loaned it to someone and never got it back) is Vegetarian Baby and Child by Petra Jackson. It is now out of print, but I've seen it on eBay a lot too. I believe the author is Australian and she starts with vegetables and then goes to fruits. My doctor said this was ok if I wanted to go this route. Other European books I've seen start with veggies too. I know I didn't answer your question, but I'm sure the first book I mentioned can. Also, have you checked out Earth's Best cereals -- I got them at Fresh fields/Whole foods/Bread and Circus. I don't believe they have sugar. Good luck. ______________________ ______________________ Message: 8 Thu, 30 Aug 2001 21:49:52 -0700 (PDT) Katrina Bruback <scarletflux Baby's 1st foods? Hello, I am wondering if anyone can give some tips on feeding a Vegan baby. My baby, Alistar is about to turn 6 months and we have already started giving him mashed banana. I'm very confused because I got this info from Pregnancy, Children & the Vegan Diet. My other sources...New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook & Simply Vegan say to start out with rice cereal and do fruit later. So, does it matter what I do first? Also, does anyone know how to properly make rice cereal? I don't want to buy the stuff from the store, because it has sugar in it. I ground up the rice in the blender before cooking it and mixed in some breastmilk to thin it out. It still seemed sorta lumpy.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 I have seen alot of people talking about feeding their babies cereal, I have read that baby cereals don't have much nutritional content and are basically just fillers. I have also read that the digesting the cereal actually leeches iron from your baby's system and that is why they have iron added to them. They are just fine with fruits and veggies. Also, you really can't put an age to when a child should start solids, there are many signs to watch for, the longer that solids are delayed, usually the better.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 IMNSHO, there's no reason to give a baby pureed food if you delay foods until they're ready for them. We waited with my daughter until 7.5 months, exclusively breastfeeding her until then, and gradually introduced table food. Our policy is that if they're too young to eat it the way adults eat it (meaning not pureed or prepared in any unusual way) then they're too young to eat it. That meant no jarred slimy food, no instant powdered cereals full of iron that hinder the naturally fantastic bioavailability of iron in breastmilk. In addition, we are ovolacto, but waited until after 12 mos to introduce dairy, eggs, soy and gluten.
