Can i breast feed my DD-to-be if i'm vegan?

[GrannyGrissle]

Recently turned to a full vegan diet and it suddenly dawned on me that it can't possibly be vegan to breast feed my baby when she is born in November? How did i not know/realise this?

Huh?

What the what now?

Hairy of palmed are bored this evening

Why, because your baby is feeding from another animal eg a person ?

What's your reason for being vegan?
Some choose it as they feel dairy is unkind eg treatment of cows and removing calves at birth. But feeding a baby is completely normal..!

Say what now

This is a joke.... right?

🙄

What part are you worried about OP? I can't see any issues as long as you get enough calories and maybe a supplement.

What? You think vegan mothers don't breastfeed? Anyway it's your baby taking the milk, not you.

Your own milk for your own baby is happily within even the strictest vegan boundaries.

Less vegan to use formula made from cows milk, surely

Which animals will suffer as a result of your decision to breastfeed?

This is definitely a wind up.

Of course you can breastfeed. Aa long as you (the animal) is happy about it of course.

Assuming this isn't a troll post.. of course it's vegan. It's all about consent. And obvs you'd give your consent to feed or it wouldn't happen. And, you know, human breast milk is designed for human babies...

I mean, unless you’re a cow and the baby is a human, I reckon you’re all good.

Say what now?

Are you an intensively farmed animal? What harm are you coming to by breastfeeding?

Huh? Do you mean that you shouldn't feed your child milk if you are vegan, because then they won't be vegan? Your own milk isn't an animal product. Are you worried about the way you will be farmed?

Or do you mean that as you aren't consuming milk products you won't be able to make milk? You know that dairy cows make milk on a vegan diet of grass, right?

What's the alternative? That well-known vegan product formula milk?

I asked this question to my vegan friend. She explained she was vegan because of cruelty in the dairy industry for obtaining milk that was not originally intended for human consumption I.e cows mill designed for cows.
Human milk is designed for humans and there's no cruelty involved!
Of course you can breastfed :)
Formula is made of cows milk so...

Threads like this should be deleted

It would not be vegan not to breastfeed. Formula milk is from cow’s milk.

Be careful though - breastfeeding mother’s often have a calcium deficiency and as a vegan you’d be at higher risk than most.

Your daughter isn’t vegan anyway, even if by some bizarre turn of logic human milk wasn’t vegan.
