While I'm sure babies can be vegan when their parents have a clue on where to make up for it (make sure the milk is fortified/they're getting anything that's being missed out on from other sources) but I highly doubt Acacia is going to care about any of that. Correct me if I'm wrong but in Canada there is no recommendation by anyone in healthcare to skip whole milk with your child? seriously dairy is not THAT evil.
What else would I expect from someone pregnant with a baby with a heart condition who still drinks coffee... caffeine is fine in moderation in a normal pregnancy but I'm not so sure about a high-risk one of this type. Needed that Dutch Bros for the Boomerang though right?
she makes such poor choices
I'm allergic to milk, lactaid milk, goats milk, soy milk, and ALL nut milks. I have been since I was an infant. I have no health problems and actually grew taller than my peers (although I ate a well rounded whole foods diet, sooo take it with a grain of salt) I'm sure Brin will be fine especially because they eat real cheese constantly (I don't understand her logic that cheese is fine, but milk is not. Literally the same byproduct of the same industry) I doubt that they give her a substantial vitamin though for what she'll be missing from dairy and meat, probably just a flinstones gummy for kids.
For real about the coffee though! Even decaf can have some caffeine and other risks for pregnancy. As a student interested in nutrition I can say that coffee is naturally a diuretic and it can wash calcium and other key nutrients out of your system before they can be fully absorbed, and her high risk pregnancy could use all the nutrients she can give her body. (I thought that was her reasoning that she may start eating meat again, was because of her pregnancy) I can't speak to how it could affect Rosie with her condition though.
That's what I don't understand about the milk thing...why force your child to drink non dairy milk if you can't even stick to actually being vegan? If they were serious about it, maybe. But having your kid drink pea milk when you eat cheese all of the time makes no sense
The coffee thing has me confused too. I've always heard that one of the reasons you shouldn't drink coffee while pregnant is because it can affect the baby's heart. So to do it when your baby has a heart condition....it seems extremely unsafe and is just further proof that this child shouldn't be having children
