Vegans don’t eat any animal products at all. If you want your baby to have a vegan diet, it’s sensible to keep him on breast milk for at least the first year. (Try to avoid giving him soya milk before he is a year old: COMA recommends that it is only given to babies under a year where there is a special need, for example a clear diagnosis of cow’s milk allergy.) Ask your health visitor about the possible need for vitamin supplements. You will need to take extra care as your baby gets older that his diet provides what he needs to stay healthy. Contact the Vegan Society for more information.
