DH & I are both vegetarian we have 18 mo DD. We are not raising her as a vegetarian she eats lots of fish, not so keen on chicken at the moment but I continue you try, she eats lots of varied veg, lots of greens, fruit, dairy & pulses but not a lot of red meat. she also has a suspected egg allergy so no pure egg at the moment. All her meals are cooked from scratch, no processed foods etc. She has a good appetite and does try most foods.
I feel a bit irresponsible for not cooking so much red meat I do have some difficulty handling it, my mum is batch cooking & freezing stuff so I just defrost & heat which is fine but I don't think she's getting enough in her diet.
Can anyone advise how often she should eat red meat and if I should be giving her vitamins to supplement?
Thanks
