[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I haven't read the full thread, but not sure if you received answers to your actual question. We live in the City, but go to Virginia Pediatrics Group in Fairfax, VA to see Dr. Jain. It's reverse traffic and a 25 minute drive - which we're fine with.  We learned about her through a friend -  and have been really pleased. We were vegetarian, but turned vegan when our child had a milk allergy.  Had another child since -and the whole family has remained vegan.  Dr. Jain has been great - she gets our lifestyle choices, doesn't question it, and is helpful with providing advice on ways to provide nutrition to our children.  Honestly though we haven't needed much advice, but just followed our diet which has been balanced anyhow.  It is great to have a dr. who respects our choices and she was also helpful when our child was slow in gaining weight during the newborn stage. She didn't pressure us to provide solid foods earlier than we wanted, and gave some helpful tips with breastfeeding and pumping to help get my milk supply up.  As you can tell by my length response - we've been pleased with our experience.
