Should baby be vegan

My daughter is vegan and currently pregnant. What do other vegans do in terms of bringing up their children. Should the baby be strict vegan or would being brought up with mainly plant based diet but some non vegan elements be ok. Would the baby need extra vitamins once fully weaned? Would intolerances build up if they aren't introduced to all food groups? I feel that she should explore all of the options. On more of a social point, I had a vegan friend growing up and they were never invited to parties or to anyone's house for tea. They always seemed so upset when treats were offered at school or birthday cake shared out as they weren't allowed any. This was in the 80s so not much understanding back then. I know that's not the end of the world and I really don't want to come across as ignorant but I'd just feel like I want to hear peoples experiences.

Hi everyone,

thanks for all the contributions so far. We’d like to
remind everyone of our talk guidelines and to
post with these mind.

We would also like to encourage everyone to post with OP’s thread in mind, which asks for the experiences of other vegans around the diet their children follow/followed and how they navigate/navigated this.

Thanks!
