Veggie Babies Get 'Great Start in Life' With New Guide
Date: 2009-07-27
A WEALTH of practical information for veggie mums and babies has been brought together in a well-researched new guide by Viva! and the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation (VVF).
Authored by, Juliet Gellatley, and leading cookery writer, Rose Elliot, the Vegetarian and Vegan Mother and Baby Guide brings together everything you need to know about what foods provide the correct nutritional balance so babies can thrive on a plant-based diet.
The guide contains information on:
- Increasing nutrients for a healthy pregnancy
- What to eat each day for health - pre and post pregnancy
- The importance of breastfeeding
- Foods for weaning and how to prepare them
The Vegetarian and Vegan Mother and Baby Guide also features a week's menu plan for toddlers' lunches and dinners and special recipes for both toddler and mother.
Nutritional therapist Juliet Gellatley says: "Bringing up your baby on a plant-based diet really can give them the best start in life – promoting healthy eating patterns in childhood while reducing their risk of developing some chronic diseases of adulthood in later life.
“The Vegetarian and Vegan Mother and Baby Guide shows you, simply, how to feed you and your baby a well-balanced vegetarian or vegan diet, complete with all the vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, complex carbohydrates and essential fats the body needs without the harmful saturated fat and cholesterol that animal products provide.â€
