My kids were both offered solid foods via "baby led weaning" after 6 months but didn't eat much till well over 1 yr.  DD in fact didn't eat much till left at the baby sitter at 19 months and DS after I initiated partial weaning at...

DS does have nursing sessions where he seems more into turning upside down and dancing around than drinking any milk, I tend to cut the session short after a few minutes if I don't feel like being bounced on.  He will either...

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! I am also vegan-curious and have been trying to cut down on my and my family's animal protein intake! One thing I had problems with was too much weight loss (Im also breastfeeding.) ...

I just want to point out one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet which is that plant milks contain many of the nutrients but none of the fibre of the original plant.  Both my kids had problems with high fibre natural plant...

It only took a few of those "half-misses" you described for my 2 yr old DD to get it. At 1 yr old... she'll get it, but it will take longer, and you've no way of knowing HOW long. Also, even when she gets it, it could be another...

I don't have any experience raising kids vegan /vegetarian but I wanted to chime in as I find this all very interesting.   I live in Germany where swear words, beer and cigarettes, sex etc are normal topics not necessarily to...
