I'm trying to give my 15 month old a good healthy vegetarian diet, though somedays we do splurge and have chicken and sometimes other meats but I'm trying to slowly cut them out and DH is not going for it so I will have to buy meat for him and cook it sepearte for him to pursue my ambitions to become vegetarian and eventually vegan, blah he was supportive for a few months but has been buying meat Ick. Even when we have meat I have never been big on meat in my life I never have ate much and in high school for awhile had none.
For breakfast I give fruit and some days infant cereal, for lunch she has veggies and some kind of bread/pasta/dry cereal
She usually has an afternoon snack of fruit and sometimes cheerios too.
For dinner she has more veggies w/beans(her fav is kidney beans) and sometimes pasta or whatever we are having.
She has atleast 24 oz of soy milk a day and I try to give extra on the days I don't give beans.
Do you think she is getting enough protein? I know the soy milk has tons of plenty of protein to meet her aprox. 19g requirement do you think its okay to skip days on beans I don't typically buy many other meat alternatives such as veggie burgers so those are even rarer.
