Vegan diet for babies of different ages

 

There must be many vegan parents who are unable to breastfeed their newborns, finding vegan alternatives that equally meet the nutritional requirements for the baby can be tough. Fortunately, there are infant formulas that can be given to vegan babies. Most of the vegan formulas are made from soy. According to the experts of Child Care West Covina, CA, in some vegan baby formula, no soy protein and cow’s milk is present and this is especially for the babies who are lactose intolerant.

You can choose the right vegan formula for your child depending on his age. Here is a guide to help you select the right one.


Less than 6 months:

If your baby is less than 6 months old then you must make sure the formula contains ingredients that will provide the baby with enough energy and nutrients to help him have a healthy growth. Though there is no exclusive vegan formula for kids under 6 months, you can opt for soy-based formula as an alternative to breast milk.

More than 6 months:

Once your baby is more than 6 months old, you can start giving him other food along with breast milk. Now you can include green peas, seeds, nuts, legumes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables in your baby’s diet. T  this stage you can actually make a smooth paste out of these and feed him.

1 year:

After his first birthday, you can start incorporating a variety of nutrient-rich foods in his diet which will are essential for his healthy development. From now on start giving him carrots, beans, broccoli, tomato, leafy vegetables, fortified cereals, etc.

Caregivers of Childcare West Covina, CA insists parents continue this same diet until he is 2 years of age. You can experiment with all the available vegetables and fruits. However, do not just give him soy-based beverages as it will not able to fulfill all his nutritional requirements.

Toddler:

Now, once he has become a toddler, you can start giving him foods from the main food groups. At this age, he should be able to eat almost the same foods as you. So, please incorporate different vegetables, seeds, fruits, cereals, into his regular diet.

Montessori is one of those pillars in your children’s life that will make them stronger than ever. Montessori method is the very base upon which the whole construction of education is standing on.
