SEVEN DAYS OF
VEGETARIAN DIET FOR A WEANED BABY MONDAY LUNCH SUPPER TUESDAY LUNCH SUPPER WEDNESDAY LUNCH SUPPER THURSDAY LUNCH SUPPER FRIDAY LUNCH SUPPER SATURDAY LUNCH SUPPER SUNDAY LUNCH SUPPER COMMENTS: You will notice
that most breakfasts and suppers call for fruit. This keeps the baby's
bowel habits regular and easy. Fruit should be fresh whenever possible, and
served with skins peeled off and the fruit cut into small pieces. Canned
fruits may be used, but should be juice-packed as opposed to syrup
packed. You can use syrup-packed fruit if you rinse the fruit in a
glass container before serving it. Do not rinse the fruit in the can or
it will taste like the can. Raw foods, such as
grated vegetables, sprouted beans, and sprouted grains should be encouraged as soon as a child can eat them easily. Mash anything
with a fork to make it easier to eat, or use a hand
baby-food grinder or blender. Corn and beans are best mashed up for best
digestion in the early months before your baby can or will chew thoroughly. We gave our babies
a small bit of vitamin C with every meal, and with every nursing or
snack. Powder one-half of a chewable 250 mg. vitamin C tablet between
two spoons and slip it into the child's fruit, or an unsweetened juice. I
think this is essential to help ensure a baby's good health. You probably
noticed that beverages in general and "milk" in particular are not
included in this schedule. Water, natural unsweetened fruit juice, and
vegetable juice are all good. If there are cheeses in the diet (and I
think this should definitely be the case), you really do not need fluid
milk. Consider milk to be optional, not essential. This diet example
is in no way meant to replace your pediatrician, whom you should see if and
when necessary. This diet may, however, help relegate your doctor to the
role of the "Maytag" repairman. That's fine! Our children
have never had an antibiotic in their entire lives, all the way into
college. That is why we recommend the vitamin C supplement with every
meal, and why we raised them on a meatless menu, like this one. Copyright 2005 and prior
