What about in pregnancy and for children?

Pregnant women and nursing mothers can get the nutrients they need from a vegetarian diet. The same is true with children.
If you’re following a vegan diet and you’re pregnant, nursing, or a child, you may need to supplement with additional vitamin B-12, vitamin D. Additional iron, folic acid, and omega-3s may also be a good idea, though vegetarians may actually consume more folic acid than people on a diet that includes meat.
