Your child can also be a vegetarian. This means that they don’t eat meat or fish. If they still eat animal products such as milk, dairy products and eggs, they get enough variety. Look out that your child eats a lot of different foods. It is important that they get enough iron and zinc.
Children should not be vegan. This means they don’t eat any products from animals. Your child will be missing important nutrients if they are vegan. If you want your child to be vegan, talk to a specialist. For example, a dietician, a nutritionist, or a doctor.
If your child eats only the same foods, they might get a nutrient deficiency. Therefore, give your child as many different foods as possible.
