Hi, was wondering if anyone had some advice for feeding a baby well on a vegan diet. DD is 7 months, she was breastfeed for 5 months and then moved onto formula. Ever since she's been on formula she's come out in rashes and generally had bad skin, also took a reaction to dairy or egg recentely (don't know which, or if both were the culprit) and had to rush her to out of hours docs. My GP is reluctent to refer her for allergy tests because of her age although I'm still pushing to get a blood test. I'm veggie and reluctent to cook meat / fish (mostly cos i'm scared I'll give her food poisioning, and I have no idea how to prep or cook meat as i've been veggie since quite young) My main concern is that she's getting enough protien at the moment she is mostly getting fruit, veg, rice, bread and lentils on top of her formula feeds. I'm also concerned about still feeding her dairy formula when she comes out in a rash at every feed but HV advised not to swap to soya formula because they are apparently not very good. I'm still pushing to get her tested so we can know for sure what she should be avoiding but until then I've got to keep her off the dairy and eggs any advice would be much appriciated. x
