[quote=Anonymous]Well, eating fish and seafood every few days leaves you nowhere near vegetarian. You sound pescatarian at least so there’s that. Fish and seafood are animal meats, with the same sort of protein and B12 benefits.

Aside from that, my 2 year old, living in a completely omnivorous house, eats more “vegetarian” foods than it would appear your child does. We serve a lot of hummus, white bean dips, etc., plus roasted chickpeas, “cowboy caviar” with pita at lunch, tofu in a bajillion different combinations (eg. In stir fry, breaded with panko, and baked in nuggets, crumbled up with nutritional yeast and basil as a cheese substitute). We make a lot of vegetable curries (eg. Spinach, butternut squash, chickpea), dal, falafel, lentil patties, etc.

We do a clear “meatless Monday”, but many other of our dinner meals are vegetarian. DD may or may not eat the meat portion of dinner that day, but I know she gets lots of nutrients the rest of the day.

She also JUST started drinking milk at 2.5, but would normally have 1 serving of cheese and 1 serving of yogurt a day.
