Eating habits are known to be formed not only in early childhood but perhaps at the stage of prenatal development. Given that at the time of pregnancy, I stick to vegan supply system (as before), my child has what is called "in the subject." And, despite the fact that the diet of the baby only breast milk until I attended to the problem of feeding the future now.
The undeniable advantage
Vegan food gives the child the opportunity to enjoy a variety of products, because real "vegan moms" very attentive to 'ration of his family. Products that we use - simple and affordable, easy ustaivayte and provide enough nutrients and vitamins to the body at any stage - from infancy to adolescence and beyond.
Infants
Of course, the best food for the baby - breast milk. Richly all the necessary materials, provides an excellent immune system and is always there. The longer a child is breastfed, the better. If the mother has a problem with milk, soy milk formula - a good alternative. Do not use commercial soy milk. Children have special needs, and the mixture is needed for babies, its composition designed specifically for kids.
The first few months, but breast milk or soya blend, no need.
What do I need to pay special attention
It is important that the child and mother have been to the sun, at least two hours a week to receive a sufficient dose of vitamin D. Some children, especially those who live in climates with little sun, an additional source of vitamin D (independent of the power supply system, supplements are often prescribed to any children).
Woman sticking vegan, must be sure that she gets enough vitamin B12 - the dose effect on the level of this vitamin in breast milk. You need to pay attention to products enriched cyanocobalamin, the active formula of vitamin B12. In accordance with the instructions of the doctor can take a multi-vitamin complex.
Do not be scared of vitamins and nutritional supplements. They take most of the women during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and this fact is independent of the power supply system. Various supplements and vitamins prescribed and children.
Around the age of 6 months, when the baby's weight has doubled, and there was the so-called food-interest (child wants to try what eats mom and dad), you can begin to try other products. Add one new food at intervals of 1-2 weeks.
The following guidelines will help in the preparation of the diet of the child:
Try to start with, such as grains. You can start with the rice milled cereal, because they are less allergenic.
From the sixth to the eighth month - get acquainted with different vegetables. They should be cooked thoroughly and "spyurirovany" (mashed). Good choice - green beans, carrots, peas, potatoes. Introduce your baby to the fruit. Try mashed avocado, banana, peach, apple.
At eight months, most children are ready to get acquainted with crackers, bread, dry flakes. In addition, children may have at this age more protein foods, such as tofu quality from a trusted manufacturer or well cooked and "spyurirovannaya" beans.
Child's diet is becoming more diverse, but it does not mean you have to cancel breastfeeding. Continue to feed the baby while it is possible. The more natural the transition will be, the better. Feel the needs of their child. He tells you when he's ready to give up his chest.
Older children may need a lot of calories for movement and growth. But their stomachs are still small. Therefore, it is advisable to eat a child small, frequent meals.
Remember that some foods, such as grapes and peanuts, can be dangerous if swallowed, so it grind them or split into pieces. Encourage your child to chew food before swallowing.
Caloric needs, of course, unique to each child. You should not chase after the baby with a spoon.
