ABOUT THIS BOOK...

An accessible guide for vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious parents from the dietitian duo behind online community Plant-Based Juniors® - includes a bonus chapter on feeding infants up to six months!

More of us are turning to plant-focused diets for our health and the health of the environment. But there haven't been reliable, evidence-based resources out there for a new generation of compassionate, conscientious parents - until now. The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler is your go-to resource, offering easy-to-digest nutritional facts and guidelines that aren't available elsewhere, with a special focus on the most important period of a child's life when it comes to developing good eating habits: infancy and toddlerhood.

Whitney and Alex discuss:

  • The PB3 plate: a visual guide to structuring meals that are nutritionally balanced - 1/3 fruits and vegetables; 1/3 legumes, nuts and seeds; and 1/3 grains and starches--and easy to adapt for the entire family
  • How to meet needs for critical nutrients such as iron
  • A primer on both traditional purees and the baby-led weaning/feeding approach
  • Strategies for dealing with challenges such as picky eaters
  • Sorting fact from fiction when it comes to nondairy milks and other substitutes
  • 50+ plant-based recipes created specifically for stages from first bites to age three

As dietitians and moms, Whitney and Alex pored over nutrition journals and called on the experts to learn how to provide their babies with the best diet possible. They found that plant-based diets are associated with a reduced risk of obesity, decreased cholesterol levels, and increased fruit and vegetable intake; in short, not only are they safe for kids, they're pretty freaking awesome.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of recipes, meal plans, and nutrition information.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"While never too late to invite the great advantages of lifestyle as medicine into our lives, the earlier the better. In this thorough, thoughtful, careful, engaging, and altogether delightful book, Whitney and Alexandra provide everything needed to make optimal diet a birthright - to the benefit of mother, baby, and family alike. The balanced, evidence-based guidance here should be a standard of prenatal care." (David L. Katz, MD, MPH; past president, American College of Lifestyle Medicine)

"Let’s face it: feeding little ones is a challenge...and confusing! I wish The Plant-Based Baby and Toddler was around when my kids were little because I had endless questions. I love that Alex and Whitney share the answers to oodles of baby and toddler feeding questions (including some I didn’t even know I had), in a warm and non-judgmental way, while offering a variety of choices for parents’ unique needs. Packed with fun recipes like Cheezy Broccoli Trees and Red Lentil Pizza Strips, along with nutritional information, FAQs, tips, and a plant-based plate visualizer, you’ll feel empowered and confident while navigating nutrition choices for your little ones. Even though my kids are now school-age, we’ve already marked a bunch of fun recipes to cook together." (Angela Liddon, New York Times best-selling author of The Oh She Glows Cookbook)

"An absolutely essential read for anyone wanting to feed their little ones a plant-based diet. With a thoughtful layout from building your baby’s first plate to sample feeding schedules for toddlers, this book prepares you for the whole journey. The authors, both RDNs, equip you with trusted guidelines for how to adequately present meals to your baby and toddlers, with clever reference materials like the Nutrients of Importance quick guide. Before you go, you’re left with yummy and approachable recipes to get you started, like Pumpkin Oat Cookie Drops and Tex-Mex Millet Meatballs. I can’t wait to learn more - and dig in!" (Ali Maffucci, New York Times best-selling author and founder of Inspiralized)
