#127: Thinking about raising your baby on a vegetarian or vegan diet? Wondering if it’s possible to do baby-led weaning without meat?
In this episode, I’m joined by registered dietitians Alexandra Caspero and Whitney English of Plant-Based Juniors, authors of The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler. Together, we tackle some of the biggest questions plant-based families have when starting solid foods, including how to meet your baby’s nutrient needs, support iron intake, and approach the Top 9 allergenic foods if your family doesn’t eat animal products.
Whether your family is fully plant-based or you’re simply looking to include more plant foods at mealtimes, this episode offers practical, evidence-based guidance to help you feed your baby with confidence.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How plant-based babies can meet important nutrient needs like iron.
2. How vegetarian and vegan families can approach introducing the Top 9 allergenic foods.
3. The difference between vegan and predominantly plant-based eating, and why it matters when feeding your baby.
