#151: The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler with Whitney and Alex from Plant-Based Juniors
“It doesn’t have to be challenging. Once you learn the ins and outs it becomes second nature.” -Whitney English, RD
Plant-Based Juniors is a fantastic resource for pregnant plant-based mamas and those raising babies and toddlers. They have a wealth of information on their website and their amazing instagram with the same name. Now these two amazing women Alexandra Caspero and Whitney English have a new book coming out entitled The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler and it will be out in print soon!
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I chat with Whitney and Alex about raising plant-based kids and micronutrients that we should consider.
We discuss:
Why they wrote this book
Why they choose to raise their families plant-based
What parents worry about the most when feeding their kids
The biggest misconception about feeding plant-based kids
Behaviors that parents worry about unnecessarily
Choline and why its a hot topic
Vitamin A and whether we should be concerned about getting enough
What micronutrients they recommend supplementing for the average plant-based family
Advice for seeking quality and reliable supplements
Their favorite family meals
What they wish more parents knew
