Vegans/ Vegetarians

Hey folks,

I want to check if our 6 week old might have CMPA so I’m planning on cutting out dairy. I’m already a vegetarian so essentially looking at going vegan.

I’m in the trenches with a new born and 2 other young kids, and my entire diet is basically cheese sandwiches and late night chocolate right now. Can I have your recommendations for the best dairy free replacements? Also meal ideas for quick lunches that I can make/eat one handed?

Already using dairy free spreads and oat milk :)

Thank you! 🫶

can anyone recommend good sources of vegan/vegetarian protein? I’m starting to workout again and want to build muscle.

Hey so I’m considering going vegetarian not necessarily for ethical reasons but just because i find the idea of meat disgusting when i actually think about it, my issue is that I’m a super picky eater and struggle to keep up with all my vitamins/minerals anyway so removing all of these options from my diet would probably be a bit of a struggle, having 1 bad experience with meat free alternatives will also make it near impossible for me to try new ones (i know i know that’s super childish but it is what it is) so can anyone give me any recommendations for the least disgusting meat alternatives that don’t taste super artificial and easy ways to make sure I’m meeting my nutritional recommendations TIA 🤍

Hi all, FTM here to a wonderful 5 month old girl. Been EBF since birth and now starting to think about weaning. My partner and I have both been vegan for about 10 years now and I’m a bit torn when it comes to introducing allergens to our LO during weaning.

Thinking it’s likely beneficial to expose her to some of the top allergens like milk and eggs when starting weaning but she then wouldn’t have any in our household for regular meals anyway so is there any point? Does anyone have any experience they can share with me? Just want to do what is best for baby! Thanks in advance :) 🙏🏼

Did you transition your baby to plant milk or just off of breastmilk? I read somewhere that too much plant milk isn’t ideal for babies but I’m obviously not going to do cow’s milk. Have you come across any good research on this?

Thanks!
