Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 The other day my baby got a rash around her mouth and has bumps on her back from teething too long on a green apple. She loves fruit and I guess we have overdone it. I am trying to get more vegetables into her but aside from the occasional sip of veggie juice (we have centrifugal juicer -- not great for greens) and teething on broccoli, carrots and celery stalks she is just not eating much of them. We are saving up to invest in a better juicer (green power or omega) but until them I am stuck with a cuisinart, blender, and grater to help me make baby food. Today I put sunflower sprouts in the cuisinart so she could chew them through her feeder (mesh bag with handle like a rattle). She had a bit of purple cabbage that way earlier -- sucked on it a bit. Does anyone know the proportions of a baby's diet that should be devoted to veggies, fruit, seeds, nuts? I find recipes for raw food but not this sort of information. I want to limit her fruit intake for awhile but worry she is not eating enough. I love that she is so healthy -- rarely has had a cold, only sick once in her life but she seems thinner than other babies and is still nursing a lot at night.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 From 4-11 months, my daughter was still nursing 2-3 times throughout the night. I was happy to know that she was hungry and growing. I wish I had as great a start in life as my daughter has had. Don't make too many comparisons, or you will drive yourself nuts. Feel comfortable with your decisions. The continued nursing, raw vegan lifestyle is amazing to provide fie a child. Cassie " life's a garden, dig it!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 We feed our 15 mos vegan (about %75% raw) DS a lot of avocado for the healthy fats. He too is very thin compared to other babies, but I really think he is just right size for him. He is just now 19 lbs, but he has the cute baby fluffy rolls, and he is reaching developmental milestones, so I no longer worry about the weight. Some other things I make for him: Nut fruit smoothies - I know in raw you are not supposed to mix nuts and fruits, but I make a " milk " shake for him with either cherries, strawberries or blueberries, and raw cashew milk. I have also made this with hemp seeds, and macadamia nuts instead of cashews. Green Smoothies (for the iron and calcium) He won't drink more than 4 oz of this at a sitting, but that is about all he can eat of anything at once - I use as a base 1/2 banana and a handful of baby spinach, or a handful of beet greens, or a leaf of kale, then add whatever fruit I have on hand. He prefers berries to the other fruits. Red Smoothies - I tried this for me about 3 months ago and now I think this is my son's favorite meal. This recipe is enough for the both of us - 1 beet (peeled), 2 medjool dates that have been soaking for about 2 hours (don't forget to pit them), about 8 - 10 oz red fruit (raspberries, strawberries or cherries are our favorites). Mix it all in the blender - I typically freeze the fruit so it is a nice cold treat for our extreme Florida heat, and I also add the date soak water until I get the texture I want. If I don't freee the fruit, then I don't use the date soak water because it is way too thin for me. Raw coleslaw - purple cabbage, carrots, and raw tahini based dressing (I don't have a real recipe for the dressing, I just mix raw tahini, some raw ACV, and whatever fresh herbs I have from the garden - then add water to thin to the right consistency.) " Creamy " Tomato Soup - my son loves tomatoes, so I mainly just give him chunks of tomato, but he also loves this soup - put in a blender 1 large tomato, 1 sun dried tomato, 3 basil leaves, and either 1 tbls of tahini, or half an avocado He also loves Larabars - I pick of pieces that have smaller pieces of nuts and don't let him eat the parts where there are big chunks of nut - sometimes I find a quarter of an almond in them and that is just too big for my comfort. I think my son has an issue with texture because he really like mushy things, smoothies or pureees - he would prefer not to bite into something like an apple piece, but if I shredd it, or throw it in a blender to make it mushy he eats it. HTH - let us know what works for you too - it's hard to find other mommies feeding their babes a predominately or 100% raw diet so it is always good to share.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I would also love to know some ways moms are getting veggies into their little ones. Any ideas would be appreciated! Here are some things he loves so far...(not all are raw)... - " milk " shakes - soy or rice " ice cream " , one banana, and hemp milk (or other dairy substitute) all in blender. -granola of any kind -pizza w/no cheese, only sauce and diced veggies (he'll even eat artichoke on a pizza!) -rice and beans -sweet potato or white potato -soy chicken nuggets/patties ....and that's where we are right now...need more veggie ideas!!! Our 3 yr. old seems pretty thin also (30 lbs. and tall) but it does not bother me because what's " ideal " or " healthy " for most people is a chunky or full baby...not exactly my idea of healthy. , " Susan " <virgo.vegan wrote: > > We feed our 15 mos vegan (about %75% raw) DS a lot of avocado for the > healthy fats.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi there, I'm brand new to this group. How wonderful to see a raw vegan baby thread. I am raising my one year old raw (for now) My husband is 100% raw vegan and I am about 75% with stints here and there 100% raw. I highly recommend getting as much greens into baby's diet as possible and not getting them too used to sweet fruit constantly. It may not be a huge problem right away, but in the long run they could have problems with their teeth and hair. A couple we are friendly with have two raw children. The 3 1/2 year old girl will sit down to a plate of kale and just munch away! Its so amazing to watch. They treat fruit like more of a treat than the main portion of their diet. I'd guess that greens & vegetables are probably 50% of the diet. Fats 25% and Fruit 25%. My son is 1 y.o. Here is our favorite way to get him to eat his veggies: Blended salad 1/2 avocado, blended with juice 1 lemon add 1 cucumber peeled 1 celery stalk 1/4 lb. baby greens (spinach, salad mix) something red or orange (on tomato, bell pepper, carrot) Blend! > > Does anyone know the proportions of a baby's diet that should be devoted to veggies, > fruit, seeds, nuts?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hello, We are also raising our children vegan. I have a 9, 7 and 1 year old. My older kids are getting the hang of it. We have only been vegan for about 6 months. My one year old refuses to eat anything really. All he wants to do is nurse all day and all night. I try bananas, avacado, hummos, etc. He does like smoothies and cooked spinach. He also likes soy yogurt. He is not consistent and really nurses all night long which is very tiring on me and him. Anyway, we follow the Disease-Proof you child book written by Dr. Fuhrman. He has great receipes and talks about how much is needed for a healthy diet. He also has a website that has great information as well called Disease proof.com. This has been helpful for my older children. Glad to have other ideas for feeding a one year old as well. Any tips for getting him to eat and not nurse so much is great. I am just glad he is getting something since he is bulky and big. thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My 15 mos old goes to school during the day and eats food there - still purees and smoothies mainly, but food. He nurses all night too, but I really don't mind. We co-sleep so I am able to lay on my side and sleep while he nurses. I don't know if that works for you or not, but I do understand it being tiring on you. I read an article recently that said babies who are breastfed past 12 mos tend to not be interested in food much until 24 mos or older. All I can say is hang in there and know that by nursing your baby, you are already giving him the best food possible.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 We have actually been moving to more whole foods and less processed soy items, however when my five year old can't stand it anymore and wants a fun treat meal I do recommend the Health is wealth chicken free nuggets. They are available at whole foods and even advertise them as vegan on the box. It indicates they are meatless stone ground whole wheat breaded nuggets. They do contain soy protein isolate which I try to avoid but do break down and purchase occasionally and are an option if you want vegan nuggets.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yikes!!! I thought I had read the label on everything in our kitchen, but aparently not! You're right...the kind of chicken nuggets/patties we buy (Boca brand) contain egg whites. I've looked at the Morningstar brand stuff but am not happy with all the additives and preservatives they include. I have to go to Whole Foods tomorrow for some groceries so I'll do some deeper looking there on the soy chicken nugget issue. , robin koloms <rkoloms wrote: > > We like the morningstar farms (and love their corndogs) > > --- On Tue, 6/24/08, Tanya <tcomer5 wrote: > > Tanya <tcomer5 > Re: What can I feed 9 month old raw vegan baby? > > Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 8:06 AM Can you tell me what kind of chicken nuggets you buy?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 On the vegan lunchbox they have a recipe for vegan corndogs. I have sucessfully made this. I even have frozen them for later. Pretty good, but a little crumbly. There is also a recipe http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/02/pretzel-bites.html for pretzel dogs at the vegan dad site. Still haven't found any to buy.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 That article is funny. My son nursed until he was 22 mo's and he would not let us give him anything mushy like baby food since he was maybe 11mo's old - He loved sandwiches and stuff like that - I'd still cut them up bite sized, but he wouldn't even touch applesauce until he was maybe 15mo's old, I think. LOL. It wasn't too tricky, as we made about all of our 'baby food' - froze it in ice cube trays and transferred them to zip top freezer bags. We were actually surprised that that stage didn't last as long as we thought it did. Anecdotally - a friend of mine's daughter had allergies to peanuts, dairy and kiwi and a few other things (some she's since grew out of, some she hasn't) - and she mostly nursed, and barely ate any baby food (also preferred the mushy kind to finger types of foods) - she much preferred nursing until she was about a year old.I had at some point when I was nursing read something aabout children who had some food allergies preferring to nurse longer, and to forgo solids - but I can't recall anything more about it than that, and my anecdote about my friend's child. My son only had/has a milk protein allergy, he started himself on solids at 4mo's (I was eating a banana, he grabbed a handful of it and chewed it and swallowed it before we knew what happened and was back for more. I never wanted to start that early with solids - but he was very interested (and he was able to sit up on his own at that age as well). So, it progressed pretty fast from mush to finger foods to sandwiches by a year old - and this was all based on what he wanted, we never pushed, or whatever - we were cautious and we talked to our doc all the time about it as well. Nothing much to add - I just wanted to add my anecdote - the mention of this article made me chuckle, because it was not our case at all. LOL.
