by Jo Stepaniak and an RD whose name I can't spell, but if you go to the Veganism board and ask Jo about it she will certainly give you the reference. It's called Raising Vegetarian Children, and it's really mostly about veganism.
The main thing to remember is that your baby needs certain nutients, so find vegan sources for the nutrients and you're set. they need enough protein. No problem. There are lots of sources of vegan protein. They need enough fat. No problem. Tofu, avocado, olives, nut butters.. They need minerals. Sea vegetables. No problem. B12 - that will likely require a supplement or fortified foods; the soy milk I use is fortified with B12. Do a little homework and you'll find this can be done very easily and healthfully. You might email Jeff and Sabrina, who run the whole Vegsource site; their three vegan-from-birth children are teens now and doing great.
