[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need expert advice on how to feed a vegan child, OP.   We are vegetarians and still sought out professional advice to make sure we weren't depriving DD of vital nutrients that she needed to grow.

I have no clue how I would get enough calcium and fat into her diet without dairy and eggs.  You need professional nutritional advice.  [/quote]

Not OP (and not vegan or vegetarian -- I'm a huge omnivore) but you don't need dairy for fat and calcium. You can go with other fatty foods like nut butters, fatty fish, and fatty fruits (e.g., avocados) and pair those with green leafy vegetables or legumes/beans/seaweed for calcium (tofu and kelp/some seaweeds have a lot of calcium, for example). Asians usually don't eat dairy and they have lower rates of osteoporosis than white people!

Now, eggs -- I think kids really SHOULD eat those. They are jam-packed with choline and other insanely important nutrients. If OP is already eating fish, I think an argument could be made for eggs, too.[/quote]
