Focus on the Ingredients

Vegetarian baby food can contain various natural ingredients coming from both plant and animal sources. Meat, however, is not present in it. The list of ingredients which are not included in this type of food features red meat (pork and beef), poultry, fish and shellfish.

Eggs can be included. In fact, they are an important source of protein, minerals and vitamins. They are the most important source of vitamin B12 in the diet of babies and older kids who are vegetarian. Since this vitamin is most abundant in meat, parents may also consider supplementation, as recommended by their child’s paediatrician. It is worth noting that vitamin B12 is not found in sufficient amounts in plant-based ingredients. In general, eggs are considered suitable from 10+ months.

Milk is another important ingredient which is allowed in vegetarian baby food suitable from 12+ months. It provides children with sufficient amounts of calcium. This mineral is essential for the growth and development of children. It helps to make the bones and teeth strong and lowers the risk of injuries and tooth decay.

Babies who eat vegetarian food can receive sufficient amounts of protein. It comes from eggs and legumes such as beans and lentils. Tofu is another source of healthy vegetable protein.

While a vegetarian diet cannot include fish and shellfish which are the main sources of Omega 3 fatty acids, it can feature nuts, which are also rich in these nutrients. In general, it is best if nuts are given to babies who are 10 months or older.

All vegan baby foods can be used as part of a vegetarian diet. It includes only plant ingredients, primarily fruit, vegetables and legumes. Some Halal baby food products can also fit a vegetarian diet. These are notably the ones which do not contain any meat.
