18 month old vegan since birth, I did breastfeed, however I looked into soy formulas before hand, they're not massively available and those that are often contain added vitamins derived from animal sources.

In the end, I decided I would use 'Earths Best' but never needed it (and now I don't think it was that great either!)

Are you on Facebook? I recommend groups like, 'how vegan children thrive' for advice, I found that our health visitor didn't know much about it, and seemed to just push we needed dairy.



We also visited a nutritionist when DC was 1 to make sure we were doing everything right.

I would have given up on it for my child if I was concerned at any point, the health of DC outweighed any moral value for me, but now they're a healthy, good weight, happy young toddler - and I often get asked how I get them to eat vegetables! 😂
