Hi Nick! I have three children, ages 6, 4 and 6 months. While I am no means a health care provider, I can tell you what we do.
Before I started eating this way, I was a vegetarian and decided to raise my children vegetarian. This has not changed, BUT we do not have dairy or eggs at home (often).
I never gave the kids milk. Water is fine. Once weaned, children do not need milk, especially from a cow. Honestly, they don’t need it from a plant, either. Just give him water.
Kid’s weights can fluctuate, especially after they start walking and moving. It’s the overall trend to keep an eye on, and beans and rice is perfect for little hands and growing bodies.
Sounds like your son has some thoughtful parents. Keep up the good work!
