Dr. Klapper

I too have been saddened by most veg parenting books

and their stance on breastfeeding. Most are

pro-breastfeeding for infants, but some will even make

the comment that after six months it is harmful to a

child not to start them on solid foods. I think this

probably comes from trying to be 'on the safe side'.

Since vegan parenting is not the societal norm they

might error on the side of over caution about

nutrition.

 

That said, I would not throw any book completely out.

I have found there are few books out there (especially

on parenting) that I agree with 100%. This does not

mean there is nothing helpful or valid in the book.

Just like anything else we all have to keep ourselves

informed and also go with what feels right to us. I

don't agree completely with Dr. Spock, but I

appreciate his last book...especially his stance on

veganism.

 

Even the best 'experts' have their own view on life

and this always comes into the equation. Especially,

when it comes to parenting and nutrition there is a

lot we don't know.

 

I have over a score of parenting books and none of

them cover my exact views on parenting. I have Dr.

Kappers book and would give it to others. Just like a

I have several of Dr. Sears books, but I don't agree

with giving chicken bones to babies for them to teeth

on. I still give The Baby Book to friends.

 

Just my two cents. By the way I really like

Compassionate Souls (great book about one person's

experience with vegan parenting) and it was sort of

given negative reviews by some veg groups because they

don't like her nutritional info (she is not a

nutritionist).
