    I've been vegan through my pregnancy and through breastfeeding, as of Monday I'm nursing a 2 year old. :(

    Its awesome. I love being vegan and I love breastfeeding.

    I'm currently transitioning over to a vegan diet & I am currently nursing my 20mth daughter & my 4mth son - they both react badly to dairy/eggs when I eat them so that's why I'm moving over from veggie to vegan.

    I've been vegan on and off the past three years, but finally decided to stick with it nine months ago. I'm currently nursing a three month old.

    I am also transitioning to a vegan diet and am nursing my 2 month old. I was wondering what vitamin and supplements you re taking. I have a prenatal vitamin but is there anything else I should take?

    I breastfeed my 8 month old (I also have a 4 year old that is NOT breastfed but is vegan) and am vegan. I don't take any vitamins or supplements.

    I am madly in love with breastfeeding and being vegan. (:
