Forum: Vegan Parents

This is in line with everything I have said about parenting... my wife and about five others (I am one of the *others*) are starting a Free School. I am so excited! It is her life dream and goal, and it is happening. Just posting. I do not know how many of you know anything about Free Schools, but...

Hi there, I am new to this forum as I have only just turned vegan so this is my first post!! I have a 3 month old baby, and I have started thinking about when the time comes for me to wean her and I have noticed none of the supermarkets have vegan baby food at all. I see a lot of shepards pie,...

Hi, a vegan website EVOLVE! Campaigns has a page on vegan parenting. http://www.evolvecampaigns.org.uk/parenting.asp Their youth contact, the 13 year old vegan boy, Chris is going to cycle for 20 miles to raise fund for an animal sanctuary in Hawaii, here is a youtube clip on this. It is a row...

I don't have a chance to come on here very often but I am in need of advice. My husband and I have a 7 month old baby boy and I go to work tomorrow and I am running out of stored breast milk. I normally have enough but now down to only 6 ounces in the fridge. Will soy milk or rice milk be okay for...

hi all, sienna-rose has terrible colic and i was thinking she might be allergic to the dairy in my diet. so today is my 1st day back to veganism, with the hope her colic might go. i guess my motivation to not give up again is siennas health, which has pushed me back to veganism quicker than...

Right thanks for all your replies on a previous thread. I've not had dairy for 3 days now and am worrying abut how to make sure i get enough all the various nutrients for my baby who i breastfed. I'm also worrying what people will think of me for being a vegan breastfeeding mum I'm also...

Just to say two vegan couples i know both had a kid on Saturday afternoon within an hour of each other, and another i know is going in today to get induced, hope it all goes well!:thumbsup: 3 new vegans in three days!:D

Vitamin B12 deficiency linked to heart defects in newborns

Are We What Our Mothers Ate? A small excerpt: I'm sure studies exist (or will pop up) documenting that fathers' health in the days and weeks prior to becoming pregnant may determine the health of offspring much later in life as well.

We're hoping to adopt soon, & intend to do attachment parenting with our child. We'd love to make contact with any vegan families who are already raising their kids this way. (If you're wondering what attachment parenting is, here's the summary from the API website: The long-range vision of...

Vegan mum with daughter would like to meet other home-ed parents especially mums with daughters in or around South Manchester?

We're finally starting the process of adoption! :heart: We've filled in all our initial forms, & will be doing our home study soon. We can't wait - it's all beginning to feel real now & as if it's finally going to happen. Now all we need to do is persuade someone to trust a couple of vegans with...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone else will be able to identify with this, and maybe give some advice. A bit of background - in our house there is me, my lovely partner, and my son and daughter. On Jan 1st, I switched to being vegan, and my family at home have gone along with it with no...

Hello all! I am new to this forum, but I have been a vegetarian/vegan for a decade. I am so glad I found this forum! Here is my dilemma. I have a 1-year-old son, and he has been on an animal-free diet since birth. His height and weight are both appropriate (22 pounds and 30 inches) and he is...

Hi, I'm new here and a new Vegan, along with my husband and 2 1/2 daughter. I have ten million questions in general and I'm sure I'll ask them all here! I am concerned with being so new to this that my daughter is going to be lacking in vitamins as she is a picky eater and was such a dairy...

We were lucky and able to breastfeed our babies but now one of those is having their own infant soon and breastfeeding is not going to be an option. I can remember being able to buy 'follow-on' soya-based milk for 6 months onwards over 30 years ago but what about these days? A quick search on the...

I know that there has been a post about vegan blogs before, but as far as I know there hasn't been one about vegan family blogs. I love reading about other vegan families and would love to hear of any other blogs or websites that I haven't come across yet. Mine is -...

Hi all, i haven't been on here for quite some time. I'm hoping you all might be able to offer me some advise as to halthy balanced meals whilst i am pregnant as i'm vey concerned i'm not eating what i should be. yum x

I was wondering whether other Vegans decide to have their children and/or pets - and themselves(!) vaccinated? Obviously the vaccines are produced by large pharmaceutical companies, tested on animals and contain animal ingredients. Many also think they pose a health threat. I had my son...

Hi everyone, I am not pregnant but am planning to have children in the next 2 years (I am 23 yrs old) after I marry my fiancé. Obviously, I intend to raise my children Vegan. :thumbsup: In a previous thread (sorry, can't remember which one!), someone posted about how infants do not produce...

I have three vegan kids, and the eldest Ava who is 4 is just starting to understand the concept of being a vegan. She is constantly asking questions and I am at a bit of a loss as to how to explain why we are vegan/what meat is without going into too much detail. I'm wondering if anyone has...

Not sure if this belongs here or in "Chit Chat". This is just a general thread about spanking children. Did your parents ever do it to you? Have you ever done it to your children in a moment of anger? I was spanked quite a bit as a young child (it stopped when I hit 9 or 10). Usually it was...

I'm not a mother yet, but I will be one day and was just wondering, with Halloween coming up... How do the vegan parents out there handle children wanting to go trick-or-treating with their friends? There's soooo much non-vegan candy out there.

Vegetarian Shoes is a great place to get shoes for adults, but what about kids? The only shoes I've seen were crappy orange hemp shoes on some site. I'm looking for boots or something that will keep a toddler's feet warm in the snow.

My little boy started school and school dinner is a big thing, very encouraged. Charlie looooves his food and all the teachers are telling me how well he is eating. They offer a veggie opition, I have tried taking to Charlie about it, but he is four, and it doesn't seem to be working, he agree with...

My son (life-long vegan), age 10, has never been to school. At this moment he is immersed in a computer programming book and is ..."designing an insurance application form in HTML". Iym curious to see how many vegan parents home-educate/unschool or are considering it.:)

Our doctor wants us to get more calories into our baby; there is no concern about her nutrition, just the quantity that she seems to (not) take in. We are a vegan family who breast feeds our 7-month-old, and we give our baby solid foods, though she takes an insubstantial amount of solid food. The...

hey everyone, i have been thinking more and more about adopting children once i gain all the worldly experiences i need for such an endeavor... i kind of think about children as i do pets..... there are whole bunch of them out there that need homes.... why should i produce one myself..? ...

My husband's nine year old son was raised by his bio-mom to be an incredibly strict vegan. In the past, due to extreme long-distance, we've only had custody for one month each summer. Recently his bio-mom passed away from cancer and we suddenly have full custody. We live in Alaska...both my...
