I saw Jannie C posting so maybe she has discovered a better diet than me. Yes I prefer an organic and mainly vegetarian diet but until kids get into their teens, I don't think it is appropriate that they are entirely vegetarian.

I eat fish, so Laney does too. My mother in law makes salmon patties that she adores. Our pediatrician fully supports our decision to go this route (even before we told him she would be eating fish) and he is an older doctor that has been around for many years. I trust him completely. He actually thinks it's healthier to raise a child this way.
Her appetite SUCKS lately. At 14 months, I'm lucky if I can't get anything other than fruit into her. Laney is a Frutitarian.
I try not to stress over it too much though- I try to stay mellow and just re-introduce food to her from time to time.
