Pregnancy, babies and children
[edit]As of 2003 the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada considered well-planned vegan diets "appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence."[1] The German Society for Nutrition cautioned against a vegan diet for pregnant women and children as of 2011.[2] The American Dietetic Association added that a regular source of B12 is crucial for pregnant, lactating and breastfeeding women.[3] According to Reed Mangels, maternal stores of B12 appear not to cross the placenta,[4] and researchers have reported cases of vitamin B12 deficiency in lactating vegetarian mothers that were linked to deficiencies and neurological disorders in their children.[5] Pregnant vegans may also need to take extra vitamin D, depending on their exposure to sunlight and whether they are eating fortified foods.[6] Doctors may recommend iron supplements and folic acid for all pregnant women (vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian). A doctor or registered dietitian should be consulted about taking supplements during pregnancy.[7]
