Hey Parents: What’s your best advice for finding a veg friendly pediatrician?
Jennifer L. replied:
We interviewed ours before our son was born. I had a b12 issue (not diet related) and I wanted to plan ahead to ensure our baby was not going to be b12 deficient when I breastfed. She was great and never "judged" my diet. She did extra research on the right supplement for a newborn....all before he was even born! I think most doctors are getting used to working with parents on things like diet, vaccines, sleep training etc. There is no cookie cutter mold to fit into anymore. I cared that she respected my choice and admitted when she needed to look up more info. For me this was more important than what her diet is. I do see a private vegan registered dietician when I want specific nutrition info for myself. Her website is move2 veg.com.
