About vegan diets for babies: The books I read when I was pregnant (and
still trying to be vegetarian) all recommended breast feeding for as long as
possible, at least two years. I don't think anyone's ridiculous enough to
suggest that babies of vegetarian animals should not get their mother's
milk. However, many things can get in the way of extended breast feeding,
and given what I know now, I would be very concerned about vegan babies,
especially if the mother stops breast feeding before two years, or starts
supplementing feedings with vegan foods so that her milk supply drops.
