5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference, not only for vegetarians, January 25, 2002
I just finished reading this book, and I wish I had it when my daughter was born!

We becams vegetarian (nearly vegan) over the last year or so, and that's why I decided to read this book: even though my daughter is no longer a baby (she's 2 and half), I wanted to start from scratch with the info on vegetarian nutrition for children.

This book offers a wealth of information on macro- and micro-nutrients and on all staple foods for a vegetarian/vegan baby. There's plenty of info on grains, vegetables, beans and nuts, fruits, and all vitamin and minerals necessary for a baby to thrive. I found the info on grains particularly interesting, as it went into grains I have never heard of or was not very familiar with and showed the ideal sequence to introduce the various grains, from the lightest and gluten free to the more common, glutinous corn and wheat.

Because even in omnivorous families, meat is one of the last items introduced to a baby, I think this is a great resource for any parent, vegetarian or not, as fruits, vegetables and grains are usually introduced first in any case, and this book will explain you how and when it's best to introduce each of those foods, also taking into consideration the prevention or spotting of possible allergies or intolerances.

The book also offers ideas for menus for your baby, and at the end there is a useful FAQ section.

A great book, which I am planning to buy as a gift the next time a friend is pregnant.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Vegetarian Nutritional Reference Book for Babies, June 10, 2000
By Peter Gloss (Greenville, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
The New Vegetarian Baby is a must have for families raising vegetarian children. It offers detailed information about the nutritional needs and requirments for infants and toddlers. Helpful information regarding nutritional guidlines for preganant and lactating women are also reviewed. This book includes information on other topics, ranging from managing home and work to weaning and development. There are a few recipes with sample feeding menus, but it is more of a reference book than a cookbook. Interesting topics combined with easy reading make this book a recommended choice for vegetarian families.

3.0 out of 5 stars Change is a Mixed Blessing, November 11, 2001
By A Customer
Upon borrowing Sharon Yntema's original book from my local library and finding it very useful, I decided to buy my own copy. That's when I saw that there was a "new and improved" edition, so I bought that. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first.

This book is Yntema's book, rewritten by Beard-- and I like Yntema's narration much more than I do Beard's. While it's very nice to have more recent nutrition facts at my fingertips, I don't enjoy the way they are presented in a staunchly pro-vegan monologue. While I think it's very important for vegan parents to have this support for raising their babies, I find that I miss the support I received reading about Yntema's own journey raising a healthy vegetarian child.

I will keep the copy that I have of this book, to turn to when I have a question about nutrition. But I will be buying a copy of the original version, to turn to when I need reminding that raising a happy and healthy child on a vegetarian diet is easier than all of the RDAs, DRIs, ESADDIs, and EMRs out there make it seem.
