Whether you are a vegan and planning a pregnancy or a health professional seeking further insights into nutritional guidelines for a vegan infant, this comprehensive practical guide is indispensable. It takes you through all the nutritional aspects of pregnancy, from the early stages to early childhood, and even into the teenage years following a purely plant-based diet. Within its pages, you will discover invaluable advice on dietary essentials, menu planning, and recipes, accompanied by inspiring vegan family stories that showcase the benefits and potential challenges of adopting this way of eating. Its primary objective is to dispel the prevalent myths surrounding the vegan diet, demonstrating how it can provide all the essential nutrients for pregnancy, breastfeeding, growth, and development. It addresses some of the common concerns that arise, such as whether your child will receive adequate energy, protein, essential fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin D. As plant-based diets continue to gain popularity for their environmental benefits as well as personal health, Sandra Hood's extensive experience working with vegan families becomes increasingly relevant.
