[quote=Anonymous]My DS is allergic to milk and eggs. I BF'd until 18 months and introduced hemp milk at around a year. He absolutely refused all meat so his diet consisted of all kinds of vegetables and fruits with a generous amount of avocados, coconut milk and oil, and various other oils. Protein came from legumes in the form of beans, hummus, etc. and we introduced nuts early on (nut butters in smoothies and so forth). So he was an accidental vegan for the first couple of years. Our pediatrician (out here in the far suburbs, imagine) was very encouraging of his diet and pointed out that for infants and young toddlers, FAT actually trumps protein where nutritional needs are concerned and a vegan diet can easily meet their nutritional needs. If OP wants to feed her child this way I think it's far healthier than a lot of toddler diets - puffs, pasta, nuggets, etc. [/quote]
