RE: [100% veg*n ] Vegan Moms?

[Guest guest]

Both of my kids were raised on soy formulas. One is 3 and the other is

15 months. I cut the formula off totally at 12 months for each of them.

Then I just gave them Silk soy milk along with the solids they would

eat. They are both very healthy kids.

Long before I was vegetarian, my son was lactose intolerant. At that time there

was only 2 available brands on the market " Prosobee " and Isomil. He had to have

soy formula. He thrived on it and that was 20 years ago. He is still lactose

intolerant, does not eat any red meats and is working on becoming veg.

YHour little one should be fine!

[100% veg*n ] Vegan Moms?

 

Hi,

I'm a vegan granny from the U.S. who babysits my year old grandson.

For about the first 7 months my daughter was pumping breast milk.

Which I know is the best milk. Now, however, my daughter has stopped

pumping and breast feeding. I've been giving him a soy formula (I know

it's not totally vegan, I've been told there are no true vegan

formulas due to the type of vitamin D they use). That said, its as

close to vegan as possible. Since he's over a year, I'm now giving

him Similac Go and Grow Soy plus he gets a vitamin supplement that

includes B-12. He's also eating a variety of fruits, veggies, and

grains.

I was wondering are there any Moms out there who have raised their

little ones on soy formulas? How have things worked out?

My grandson seems to be doing fine. He's walking, and babbling and

seems to be a happy little guy.

Thanks,

Arlynn

Mine had to have the soy formula because of intense problems with

lactose and I couldn't breastfeed. My daughters are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2,

and nothing abnormal has happened with them.

--- Thanks to all of you vegan moms who responded. With my 6 children

(now all grown) I breastfed; they never had formula. So this powdered

formula is new to me. My grandson seems to be doing fine and it's

great and reassuring to hear of other little ones who have done well

on powdered soy formula, also.

Thanks again,

Arlynn (Vegan California Granny)
