    If vegan parents want to raise their children on a vegan diet, does that mean no breastfeeding?

    		Infants and babies must have milk to ensure their survival and healthy growth.

    However, if a quack vegan wants to exclude milk from their baby's diet who is going to stop them?

    In the US, the state has at times prevented certain religious parents from refusing their children medicine.

    		Most of you probably know how important it is to breastfeed your baby, but it's even more important when you're vegan. As of this writing there are no commercial soy infant formulas on the U.S. market that are 100% vegan. They all contain Vitamin D derived from an animal. And cow's milk formulas are out for obvious reasons. What does that leave you with? Not much choice. If you want your baby to be vegan, you've got to breastfeed or find a milk bank that has collected and stored milk from a vegan mom (difficult at best).
