Yeah, I would rather be safe than sorry. He does eat some salad, but he is picky with smoothies. He will only drink bananas and water. He will eat avocados a few times a week along with carrots, celery, grapes, strawberries ect. I guess I will start giving him a multi a few times a week to be safe then.

hm... he's so young it could be many things at that age... if it were me I would probably broaden his diet... does he currently get a lot of greens and stuff? That's the key I think - lots of greens and a wide range of veggies and fruits. The last thing you want is malnutrition so be careful! :)

I have noticed them showing up very slowly the past few months, about 5 pencil eraser sized white spots on his arms. Anyone have experience with this? From what I have read its anything from b12 to fungus. Should I give him vitamins a few times a week to be safe? He eats 10-15 bananas a day for breakfast and lunch and is vegan aevery day and is 85% lfrv. Im really feeling like im failing him somehow! Any insight?
