Vegan baby dinner food help!?

Question

My baby is 9 months old. I am raising him vegan. Aside from just eating fruits and vegetables, I am looking for store-bought vegan baby dinner food items. For example, I only know of one "dinner" - it's by Earth's Best and it's called Spring Vegetables and Pasta. I realize that I can give him homemade foods, but I am also in need of store bought baby foods for dinner. Please help!

Answer 1

As you pursue this, you should talk it over with your doctor.  While being vegan is your own personal lifestyle choice, babies and children need many of the nutrients that are not found in a vegan diet.  Check with your doctor to make sure your child is getting everything it needs so you don't run into a problem later on.

Answer 2

most are, especially at this age, they are just pureed friuts and veggies

Answer 3

beans (buy canned and mash up with a fork)

mashed potatoes - you can buy instant, or just mash up a plain baked potato with your fork

tofu - you can mash up with a fork and you don't have to cook it

I don't know about specific baby foods, but these are all very easy.  I'm sure there are other pasta type baby foods, like tomato sauce ones...

I know my aunt is feeding her 10 month old all of the things I mentioned (she's not even a vegetarian though).  Also, her baby LOVES avocado, and avocado is really really good for people, especially growing babies and kids who don't need to worry about fat.

Answer 4

I really don't care for parents forcing belifs and lifestyles on children who don't know better.

as for vegan baby dinners... good luck, other than the one you mentioned, i doubt there is much... mostly because most parents don't choose this for babies, but if you think its wise, maby you should start marketing a line.
