Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hummus was always and still is a favorite for my 4 year old, and when she was a baby. Of course cheese, veggie meats are good too.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 let's see...at that age we started giving our son nuts, not peanuts, but other nut butters such as almond or cashew. your call on that; some parents are more concerned about nut allergies. i would NOT recommend giving peanuts before at least a year. but if there aren't any nut allergies in your family, he might do fine with other nut butters. we also did a lot of yogurt (soy in our case) and smashed up beans or lentils with brown rice and veggies. also introduced some homemade crackers and bread, all whole-grain, which is an ok protein source.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hi Dara, We are vegetarian parents of an 8 month old (and a very healthy 5 yo too!) He does not do well with cow's milk, so no cottage cheese or cow's milk yogurt for him. Instead, we give him goat's milk yogurt, tofu, hard cooked egg yolks (the whites are not recommended for babies under 1 year of age), ground flax seed and tahini. The _Super Baby Food_ book by Ruth Yaron is our food bible! I highly recommend buying it. She gives some great charts of what is good for babies at what age, and is full of helpful information.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 super baby food by ruth yaron is also our food bible. i made all my own baby food and her book was the best. i still refer to it even though we're not really on " baby " food anymore.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Dara, All grains have protein. Hemp is a great source of protein. You can use hemp oil on foods. All beans are wonderful. I suggest starting with lentils. Later on, after many teeth are in, sprouted beans are very good to have in the diet, as they have live enzymes. Hope that helps. Make sure you have feed all the fruits and veggies before going on to other foods. Peace, Laura in MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 My 20 month old son LOVES black beans. I make the vegetarian chili and use black beans instead of kidney beans. My son also eats the soy meat. He loves the Morning Star Farms line.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi Dara As some other have suggested lenthil is a very good source of protien For my son the first solid i introduced was a poridge made of millet(which is not really rich the best source of protien but healthy overall). and the next one was Lenthils. Boil (pressure cook) lenthil in water and mash it into a paste and you can add a bit of salt and clarified butter for taste if u want. Also I foudn this website that gives details of nutrition value for different food and combination of food. http://www.nutritiondata.com/ hope this helps.
