Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about plant-based nutrition for families and how OhMyNutri can help.

Is a vegan diet safe for children?
Yes. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that well-planned vegan diets are appropriate for all stages of life, including childhood. The key is ensuring adequate intake of nutrients like B12, iron, calcium, and omega-3s. We always recommend working with your pediatrician to tailor your child's nutrition plan.
What nutrients should I focus on for my vegan child?
The most important nutrients to watch are vitamin B12, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, and vitamin D. A varied plant-based diet rich in legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and fortified foods helps cover these needs. Your pediatrician can help you decide if any supplements are right for your family.
How do I make sure my vegan child gets enough protein?
Plant-based protein is plentiful when you include a variety of sources throughout the day. Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, edamame, nuts, seeds, and whole grains all contribute protein. OhMyNutri helps you track daily intake so you can feel confident your child is getting what they need.
Does my vegan child need supplements?
Vitamin B12 supplementation is generally recommended for anyone on a fully plant-based diet, as it is not reliably found in plant foods. Vitamin D may also be needed depending on sun exposure and diet. Your pediatrician can guide you on the right supplements for your child's age and needs.
Can babies and toddlers thrive on a vegan diet?
Yes, with thoughtful planning. Breast milk or formula provides essential nutrition in the first year, and plant-based solids can be introduced following standard guidelines. OhMyNutri supports age-specific tracking so you can monitor key nutrients as your little one grows. Always consult your pediatrician for personalized guidance.
