I didn’t say plants didn’t have ANY amino acids…they don’t have ALL of the ones young children need starting out. Yeah, your kids are old enough to have that kind of diet, it isn’t healthy for BABIES to be vegetarian. Did I make it black and white now? I don’t want to have this conversation anymore. thanks!

Vulgar? its ignorent comments like yours that are making people overeat and choose unhealthy foods due to this crazy idea that we need to gorge on high protein foods which in turn have shown to create health problems and disease in high amounts(go read a book like the china study & many others). Im sorry but both my kids aged 9 and 11 are vegan and have met all there milestones and are healthy, so tell me where did they get there amino acids from, if plants don’t have any? How do you think large populations in India who are vegetarian produce? How did Alicia Silverstone have a baby on a vegan diet and many others? comments like yours are just limiting and plain stupid.

I now your going to get tons of advice. So I will give you one thing that really helped me when making my own food/starting solids. The baby brezza. You can make a weeks worth of mushy food, and you can for example peel some carrots and put them in the machine and it steams them and blends them.

Now that B doesn’t want mushy food I use it just to soften harder foods like root veggies and apples so that he can eat them in smaller pieces but not as mush.

Not true. Not going to get in an argument with a commenter on a family blog, but for a child, you can’t get all of the combinations of amino acids their body and brain needs to grow without animal product. I appreciate your vulgar comment. have a nice day.

I love the foot picture! I agree, starting foods is so exciting but also a high anxiety time. I actually started researching nutrition when my daughter was this age, and ultimately ended up quitting my job to go back to school full time to become a dietitian! It’s crazy what an impact one small person can have on your entire life :)

My daughter didn’t start solids until after 8 months either. It wasn’t a deliberate choice – she refused all baby food! She didn’t start eating solids until it was something she could pick up and hold in her hands (e.g. peas, cubed cooked carrots etc.). She’s a happy healthy 6 year old now, so not to worry.

Please go away, vegetarian societies are the most healthiest and your professor is a bloody idiot. Everything has protien in it so get over it!

I completely agree with you that the choices you make for your baby are not the choices that are right for every baby – being a parent is like…i don’t know…scary/exciting/involved/the list goes on. Congrats on the first solids !
