Thanks a bunch!! Yes both our kiddos have done everything early, popped teeth, crawl, stand, walk! Liv especially, bc she is always trying to keep up w/ her big brother! Max has been riding this balance bike effortlessly since before he turned 3 (getting him a pedal bike when we get down to FL), he swims across a pool under water by himself without floaties, catches a football, and he hits a baseball like a champ when we throw it to him! Not bragging or anything, just saying…we are in awe of our sweet babes! ☺️🙏💕
Has the cat been taken off to be bathed or flea powdered? Sometimes, it's not the cat but the hygiene products--even the chemicals put in the cat litter. Hope this helps.
This was such a fun video to watch😍your kids are adorable. I love your content always learning new things and ways to make plant based eating fun & delicious. Thanks for sharing💕
Love this video and all the ideas. I have been watching you guys since it was just you and Dusty! I am so excited to watch yall move to Florida. As a Christian vegan Mama I would love to connect if you all find yourself in the Tampa area. I forget where at in Florida you said you were moving, I thought the pan handle? Still figured I'd check! Thanks for all the effort you all put into these videos. They lighten my day!
I apologize for being frank but this diet is experimental. You do not know if her children are thriving unless you know or see them in person. You are not their doctor. Please do not take this channel as proof that children can “thrive” on this diet. A vegan diet is lacking in many nutrients that an omnivorous diet easily provides. Just protein alone from plant sources are far less bioavailable than their animal counterparts. Look up a DIAAS chart if you’re interested. I know you did not ask for this information but as an ex vegan and mom I feel compelled to warn others about this dangerous diet. I wish you the best.
@@rawmilkmama We will agree to disagree. The same can be said of overweight children all over the world. I'm in México and we're the most obese country in the world.. and one of the most malnourished. Yet we eat a "normal" diet. I know many American plant based women who have been pregnant and birthed a healthy baby. I myself became vegan at age 13 and today at age 44, almost 45 have zero deficiencies. I'm a bit chunky- I'll admit that because I love to eat- but other than that very healthy. A plant based diet is like any other diet- if done wrong- of course you're going to fail.. but if done right it is one of the most nutritious. Vegan 4 Life! 💚
@@edyann Thank you for your reply! I do agree obesity is an issue. But animal products cannot be blamed for the cause of it by default. "The average Mexican drinks the equivalent of 163 liters of Coca-Cola a year, nearly half a liter a day, while 70 percent of the population is overweight and 32.8 percent is clinically obese, according to the World Health Organization." Veganism is not the solution to childhood obesity. The Standard American Diet is about 70% plant foods by calorie, so this is really a plant based diet. We know that PUFAs, sugar, and processed foods are linked to obesity, along with other factors. And yes, many women will be able to conceive and have "healthy" vegan babies, the body is incredibly resilient. The problem is, there are no birth-to-death vegan studies. Additionally, many countries advise against veganism for children and/or pregnant women, such as Germany, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway and others. There is no "right" way to do veganism. Most vegans quit, I believe at a rate of 80%? I may be wrong but there are certainly many ex-vegans like myself who really thought they were doing it right, and still ended up being let down by a diet that promised everything.
I grew up with cats, and so have all my kids. They were indoor/outdoor. Once we moved out to the country, it became more apparent, that the occassional allergy from the cats; came from something they got into outside. Even in the city, maybe someone was spraying their yard, or kitty climbed a tree, rubbed on a bush that could be irritating to us, and have it on their fur? I have a friend, who's cat repeatedly gave him poison oak when we were growing up. (Kitty would sleep with him, after playing outside in the country). So, if its not a persistent allergy, it could just be something kitty got into. Hope that helps :)
Your videos are one of the best! You explain every nutrition in your food. My kiddos are adults, but I inhale all of your tipps for me. Thank you for all your work❤.
The vibrancy of your channel is a beautiful thing to watch! Regarding cats, Russian Blue breeds are supposed to better for people with allergies. I think there are also natural sprays you can rub on cat’s bodies that help neutralize the effects of their dander, which is what produces the allergic reaction. The cat in your video was long hair; maybe Max could try hanging around some short cat breeds as well. Good luck!!
Great video! I’m hooked on chickpea pasta - I’ll try the red lentil to mix it up! Max and Liv are such cutie pies. 🥰 I’m definitely making a cherry choc smoothie today too, yours looks great!
Thanks a bunch! It’s definitely delish-I realized that I said vanilla protein but I used chocolate, hence the Chocolate Cherry green smoothie name lol!
I appreciate this video please keep them coming. My family eats the same way as yours and I’m always happy for more ideas and suggestions on supplements.
I made your Moroccan bean stew from this past week, It was so delicious,!! I cook for my father and he enjoyed it too. I found that all the spices made a great curry flavor. Thanks,!! 😻😝👋😜
I’m SO excited to watch your next chapter in Florida. I’m from Florida (now live in Alaska) and I have MANY, many fond memories and feelings associated with Florida. I always pray that my life finds its way back to Florida. Watching your videos in FL made my heart so happy. I have been following y’all for a long time now and it’s been such a delight. 🔆
You guys are wonderful I am proud of you and I have a 2 year old son and you guys tough me a lot Thank you 🙏🏾 also can you guys do a video on where you guys shop for the kids clothes and toys plz thank again for everything
Repeated exposure can lessen some allergies but it can also cause allergies or make them worse. For example, repeatedly eating foods out of season can cause a food allergy. Continuing to eat that food will make the allergy worse (I’m the biggest offender of eating the same foods year round, but I have heard that switching up your diet according to season can prevent allergies). Pet allergies however very rarely get worse to the point of causing anaphylactic shock so repeated exposure should lessen the symptoms overtime. I don’t know, however, whether it would still cause internal inflammation. May be worth it to ask an immunologist.
Excellent video! Great information! If I had a do over I would have raised my kids this way. Looking forward to being able to influence my grandchildren some day. Excited for your next chapter in Florida ☀️
Aw I love you guys. I don’t have babies yet but its helpful to know it’s possible to have healthy vegan kiddos! Can you do a video on cloth diapering?? It’s something I’d like to do with my kids when we have them :)
Veterinarian here. Studies show kids raised with pets have fewer allergies. Maybe since he hasn't interacted with them in awhile, his body is overreacting. New under-tongue hyposensitization drops are a natural way to retrain his immune system. These are prescription.

Awesome, so glad you got lot's of offers! Love you guys!! You always make my day! Since I have a pre teen and teenager I have more days where I'm like who are these. Your videos with your kids makes me remember when my mine were this little and cute. Not sassy and moody! I love all the new options for babies/toddlers/kids for healthy, gluten-free and simply ingredients. I would have loved to have Else products when my kids were little.
A homeopathic made by our naturopath worked. Our son isn't allergic to animals anymore. Prior to going to the naturopath, he was so allergic that he couldn't breathe. He was a few months old when we found out he was allergic, and now he is one. It didn't take very long for the homeopathic to fix the issue. I know that being around animals help, but I cannot imagine that being too healthy for the body. My father has been allergic his whole life, and my mom always had cats. He still has reactions, but not extreme ones.
Dear Family hello! I adore your chanel. Could you say me please what supplements do you give to Max and Liv? Especially B12!! Please. I have 2 vegan childs of 4 and 8 y.o. Thank you!!!
My son does baby led since 6 months he’s 1 now and I just got him else to help boost his weight he’s all plant based it’s still a learning curve I do my best to try and stay plant based but it’s still a process but him and my middle daughter are fully his iron was low since birth and his last appt he was finally at 10 and I’m so happy I learned the pair vitamin c with iron for maximum absorption I always hand him a cut orange and he just sucks the juice he’s never taken a bottle either drinks right from a cup … allergies can come out of nowhere my mom has them with pet dander she still had dogs and cats and after adjustment with them it did calm down she never stopped having animals because of it
I’m allergic to cats and dogs - I always had outdoor pets growing up on the farm but when I got my own farm we decided to have 2 kitties inside. I definitely had a period where my body adjusted to having kitties full time inside but it eventually changed and now you would never know I had an allergy to them💜
My daughter is extremely allergic to dogs and cats. We've had them both her whole life and she is fine. As she was growing she learned to not put her face by them and after she pets them wash her hands off. My partners kid is allergic to cats and he isn't exposed and has allergic reactions, his allergy isn't as severe as my daughters. There will be 1000 different "answers" best one my pediatrician gave was in our case her exposure to them is helping her allergy, if I isolated her from them her reactions would be bad.
I need to start eating like you, Dusty, LIv and Max my immune system is terrible and I haven't been myself for a while now. Baby steps towards whole food vegan what would you and Dusty recommend? I am pretty scared about changing everything with my diet but I want to treat myself better:)
Start with one meal a day. Breakfast is an easy healthy swap...make a smoothie with fruits and veggies and superfoods in it or some oatmeal! Then work on lunch, and finally, dinner! Or just focus on eliminating one animal product at a time...meat, dairy or eggs! Start with what's easiest.
Love your videos!! You should post a comparison of what you guys and your kiddos eat in a day vs what a SAD adult or kiddo would eat... Breakdown the calories, protein/fat/carbs and even include some of the more important vitamins and minerals. I used to think my kiddos egg and cheese was so healthy and now I know better and people give me grief that I'm making better choices. Never said a word when we took them to BK for Saturday morning breakfast! It would be nice to see head to head - birthday cake oats vs a pancake or cereal 😊. Keep up the amazing work!
My nephew has allergies to only certain cats. For instance he has 2 tabby short hair cats but when i had a maincoon long hair he got the same reaction as Max. Doctor said its the kind of hair that causes skin to have reaction...not breed or type of animal.
All allergies are related to tired liver I would lower their fat intake especially in the morning I know it’s against your beliefs but fat free mornings for kids is a great way to help their livers I’ve done it and my little one has no more reactions to anything Nutritional yeast is very agressif to kid’s nerves too May give lots of reactions I’m vegan since almost 20y mum and therapist 😉
Mine was the reverse. I had a cat for 17 years no problem. After she passed anytime I was around another cat my asthma would kick up. Now no cats for me.
Erin I had all kinds of pets most of my life. It was not until my late 40’s that I started having all kinds of allergies. Now I always had allergies to dairy and citrus. But later on to plants, bushes, trees, soaps, lotions, perfumes, beans, peas, nuts, soy, certain sea food, and most of all furry pets. We had dogs and kitty kats but Labradors are deadly to me, and if I am around kitty kats too much I will also end up in the hospital. Maybe try taking Max around these kitties again a bit, and see if it keeps happening. And then maybe get a Dr.s advice. I sincerely hope he outgrows it. It is not fun, especially since I love kitty kats and dogs. Liv is growing so fast and so precious like Max. God Bless.
So excited for your move to Florida!! Can't wait to try the ELSE with my little boy. He's just about 2 months younger than Liv. On a side note: I started following your page about a year ago. At that time I was dairy free, but hadn't gone completely plant based yet. After having my son I started having some tough PPD and PPA (postpartum depression and anxiety). I didn't want to be stuck on medications forever and I remembered you had said in the past that was really what got you started on this journey too. I am so inspired by you and your family and finally took the plunge and went completely plant based about a month and a half ago and have been loving every minute of it. I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do. You are my mentor in this process and truly think that plant based has not only changed my life for the better, but my families as well. I learn something new from you each time I watch a vlog or read a new post. Keep doing the wonderful things you're doing and have a safe trip to Florida. God Bless, Meg
Awe thank you so much for sharing a piece of your journey with me, Meg! I’m so glad to hear you’re finding our videos a source of inspiration! Best wishes to you and your family!!
My daughter had the same thing happen with cats but she is fine with dogs. We just keep children's Benadryl around. just in case she has bad hives break out or her breathing seems altered. Not all cats bother her it must be something to do with the cats skin they shed.
My babies aren’t allergic to cats or dogs, but their saliva is another story! I NEVER knew it was possible but it definitely is. The fur is totally fine when we pet but we have to wash our hands right after contact. And definitely avoid animals licking their faces especially the eyes.
My baby will be 11 months old tomorrow. She eats really small portions. But I see Liv has small portions too. ☺️☺️☺️ I’m not vegan but I love seeing what Liv eats! 😍😍😍 it gives me idea for my baby too. Really helpful. Thank you!!
I never had allergies to cats till I had none and then got a new cat which gave me allergies but after awhile it went away and now my cats sleep next to me. No more watery eyes and sneezing. Time will only tell if it go away or not.
Hi! I am an allergy mom who also has allergies. I grew up with cats my whole life but it was still allergic. It triggers my asthma itchy eyes and sneezing. My son will actually break out and hives and have the same symptoms as me. He is also allergic to cats. The rule of thumb with allergens that we were always taught. Repeated exposures can worsen over time. However because it's an environmental allergen he may be able to take allergy meds or get shots to help. Otherwise I would avoid there's no guarantee that being around the animal repeatedly will lead to out growing it.
My baby is a day older than yours so I love watching what she eats. My only question is you don’t need to flatten the peas and berries? I thought you did. Thanks!
Why are oils ok for kids and babies but adults should avoid them? Wouldn’t a better option be adding more nut butters, avocados or ground seeds to their foods to get those added calories and fats?
I think it’s primarily about caloric density. Babies have super tiny tummies so oil is an easy way to add extra healthy fats and calories in a concentrated amount. Adults don’t need the refined oils for the same reasons, esp if they may have heart disease. Hope this helps!
I think having an outdoor cat will definitely minimise any effects that Max may get, but exposure in small amounts are the way to go for sure. Love this and all your videos, good luck with the move xx
My son is allergic to cats and dogs. We ended up getting golden doodles from an amazing breeder in Florida and they can ensure that the dog you get is an F1B and therefore does not shed and is does not cause allergies. You can go the allergy shot route once he is older, but we just make sure to carry Benadryl with us at all times and also a warm bath or shower will help as well.
Loved your video! I have two pieces of advice for you - watch out for too many almonds or other nuts in kid’s foods. A few are fine but bombarding their bodies with nuts every day can lead to a sensitivity in the future. I never had nut allergies but do now since I’ve been drinking almond milk so much & eating hand fills of nuts. Now I can’t have any. Regarding cats, I had an allergy to cats my entire life, but I’d still have a cat periodically in the house & have to take an allergy pill every day. My last cat passed away a few yrs ago & I haven’t had to take an allergy pill since (which is worth not having one inside). Outside is 👍
Thank you for the video! I have had cats my entire life and am also allergic. I find that every time we go through a short period without cats my allergies clear, then we rescue a cat and my allergies come back. However, the allergies become much less severe as I become used to their fur. Also, I have heard that the flavonoid Quercetin is great for allergies. It is present in lots of fruits and veggies, such as, raspberries, cherries, red grapes, red onions...
Delicious food. As an aside, I remember Dr Michael Klaper saying that adults needed 30% healthy, plant-based fats in their diets to ward off dementia in old age. That was his one regret, seeing several of his vegan clients 30/40 years down the track, now developing cognitive issues so I think the brain needs more fat than we think, at all stages in life.
I am allergic to my cat. Before he got fixed I didn't have any issues with allergies but after he got fixed I always get stuffed up and have itchy eyes after I see him. Maybe tou and Dusty can do a allergy test to cats Max may have a n allergy to them
This is a fantastic video! Even tho my kiddos are grown it's good to see how things have changed since raising mine and it's prepping mew for grand-kiddos! I agree with you on the exposure to the animals to build that internal tolerance! I used to study under Dr. Luc DeShepper, homeopath who also said it's definitely possible even from the standpoint of homeopathic constitutions! Hw was a medical doctor with licenses in deaf countries and multiple states. He was also an acupuncturist and has written many books and taught in universities around the world! Keep going with your instinct Erin! YOU know best! Hugs, Rachele~
I’m raising 3 vegan kids since birth so you guys are great inspiration to us. Since we grow most of our own food in our backyard, our kids eat lots of homegrown veggies like kale, beets, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes and of course lentils, beans and tofu from the store.
Glad to see you are feeding your children healthy plant-based fats and oils. Now I just wish people would get over the hang-up of adults eating them! I've never been made fat from consuming olive oil.
Excellent video Erin and if I ever became a father I would want my children raised on a vegan WFPB diet. Yummy 😋 food. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕♥️ the Stanczyks.
My oldest son is allergic to cats, however his allergy gets better with repeated exposure and after a few days he was totally fine and played with our cats with no problems.
I'm brand new to this channel and think what you are doing is awesome! 6 years ago I donated a kidney to my eldest son, back in 1988 when he was born we didn't have access to the internet. He was such a fussy eater as a toddler and my only advice came from my misguided parents being so long as he has his meat and dairy he will be ok but in fairness the local family doctor was recommending cigarettes for stress when they were growing up. I won't mention recommending jabs for infants that they don't need right now. We only found out he had chronic kidney disease when he was in the later stages so I threw myself and everything I had into diet and nutrition. Thankfully we made it through but I had no idea how big an influence the meat and dairy industry had on our governments until I researched it. Your doing a wonderful job with your beautiful family, long may it continue ❤
Hope you guys enjoy this one and find some inspiration from it! I love love love capturing sweet moments of our growing babes!
These two kids are the cutest can’t believe
Love em so!
Liv is adorable! She seems so happy . Seems to be doing everything early. Max feeding her was so sweet.
Thanks a bunch!! Yes both our kiddos have done everything early, popped teeth, crawl, stand, walk! Liv especially, bc she is always trying to keep up w/ her big brother!
Max has been riding this balance bike effortlessly since before he turned 3 (getting him a pedal bike when we get down to FL), he swims across a pool under water by himself without floaties, catches a football, and he hits a baseball like a champ when we throw it to him! Not bragging or anything, just saying…we are in awe of our sweet babes! ☺️🙏💕
This gives me great ideas for feeding my twin grandbabies. Great video! That you!
Your babies are the sweetest!! ❤️
Thanks a bunch!
Has the cat been taken off to be bathed or flea powdered? Sometimes, it's not the cat but the hygiene products--even the chemicals put in the cat litter. Hope this helps.
Yes bathing the cat regularly once or twice a month helps stop allergies
what a beautiful family , keep up the great video . thanks for living kindly

Wow I don't even have kids and know that this video will help so many people, great job👏👏👏

hi Erin, could you share the name of your water ionizer machine?
If you go here we can email you the details on it! EatMoveRest.com/water
Did they use some sort of new flea spray or a new flea collar. Sometimes these have harsher chemical or different chemicals that can cause reactions.
That’s a great point, maybe that’s what happened!
Great video!
I’m hooked on chickpea pasta - I’ll try the red lentil to mix it up!
Max and Liv are such cutie pies. 🥰
I’m definitely making a cherry choc smoothie today too, yours looks great!
Thanks a bunch! It’s definitely delish-I realized that I said vanilla protein but I used chocolate, hence the Chocolate Cherry green smoothie name lol!
I totally got it haha, thanks Erin💜

Your kids are beautiful 💕
Thank you so much!
Awwwww! Max loves Liv. So sweet to watch the bond grow with his baby sister 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Max looks exactly like you and Liv look exactly like Dusty 😄
Hi I was curious how you are removing lectins from your diet.
Would love to see more like this. Especially foods for Liv. I have a 9 month old so looking for ideas for her.
Repeated exposure can lessen some allergies but it can also cause allergies or make them worse. For example, repeatedly eating foods out of season can cause a food allergy. Continuing to eat that food will make the allergy worse (I’m the biggest offender of eating the same foods year round, but I have heard that switching up your diet according to season can prevent allergies).

I don’t know, however, whether it would still cause internal inflammation. May be worth it to ask an immunologist.

The SunWarrior greens is mint in flavor. And you mixed it with avocado? Minty avocado? I don't know.
Nope. We get the unflavored!!

So glad you appreciated this video! Thank you for your well wishes!
What supplement brands do you give your kiddos? We have a 1 year old and am trying to find a great one for her!
Aw I love you guys. I don’t have babies yet but its helpful to know it’s possible to have healthy vegan kiddos!
Can you do a video on cloth diapering?? It’s something I’d like to do with my kids when we have them :)
Absolutely! It’s definitely on my list of videos to make!🙏🙌💕

It really is such a different landscape now when it comes to nourishing kiddos w/ plants! So many amazing clean options!
What does Amaranth porridge taste like? Does it taste like oatmeal, or like cream of wheat of something like that?
More like cream of wheat only a stronger flavor.
Hi do you know if they sell Else super cereal etc in the UK ?
I am not sure! I’d head to their website and check!
what is this water filter machine?
A homeopathic made by our naturopath worked. Our son isn't allergic to animals anymore. Prior to going to the naturopath, he was so allergic that he couldn't breathe. He was a few months old when we found out he was allergic, and now he is one. It didn't take very long for the homeopathic to fix the issue.
I know that being around animals help, but I cannot imagine that being too healthy for the body. My father has been allergic his whole life, and my mom always had cats. He still has reactions, but not extreme ones.
Dear Family hello! I adore your chanel. Could you say me please what supplements do you give to Max and Liv? Especially B12!! Please. I have 2 vegan childs of 4 and 8 y.o.
Thank you!!!
My son does baby led since 6 months he’s 1 now and I just got him else to help boost his weight he’s all plant based it’s still a learning curve I do my best to try and stay plant based but it’s still a process but him and my middle daughter are fully his iron was low since birth and his last appt he was finally at 10 and I’m so happy I learned the pair vitamin c with iron for maximum absorption I always hand him a cut orange and he just sucks the juice he’s never taken a bottle either drinks right from a cup … allergies can come out of nowhere my mom has them with pet dander she still had dogs and cats and after adjustment with them it did calm down she never stopped having animals because of it
Do the else products have sugar?
Did you start giving tofu to baby Liv?
Yes we do sometimes…either we cube it and bake it or we make a scramble! Always buy organic too!
Wonderful you guys are amazing 🤩 just be careful with too much Amaranth seeds / flour is full of lectins
Lectins are minimized in the cooking process.
I’m allergic to cats and dogs - I always had outdoor pets growing up on the farm but when I got my own farm we decided to have 2 kitties inside. I definitely had a period where my body adjusted to having kitties full time inside but it eventually changed and now you would never know I had an allergy to them💜
Thanks for the input! Definitely reassuring!
Liv sure looks like Max. Cuties!
My daughter is extremely allergic to dogs and cats. We've had them both her whole life and she is fine. As she was growing she learned to not put her face by them and after she pets them wash her hands off. My partners kid is allergic to cats and he isn't exposed and has allergic reactions, his allergy isn't as severe as my daughters. There will be 1000 different "answers" best one my pediatrician gave was in our case her exposure to them is helping her allergy, if I isolated her from them her reactions would be bad.
Super helpful to know! Seems that Max is adjusting too…he has been around the cats with no reactions!
I need to start eating like you, Dusty, LIv and Max my immune system is terrible and I haven't been myself for a while now. Baby steps towards whole food vegan what would you and Dusty recommend? I am pretty scared about changing everything with my diet but I want to treat myself better:)
Start with one meal a day. Breakfast is an easy healthy swap...make a smoothie with fruits and veggies and superfoods in it or some oatmeal! Then work on lunch, and finally, dinner! Or just focus on eliminating one animal product at a time...meat, dairy or eggs! Start with what's easiest.
Love your videos!! You should post a comparison of what you guys and your kiddos eat in a day vs what a SAD adult or kiddo would eat... Breakdown the calories, protein/fat/carbs and even include some of the more important vitamins and minerals. I used to think my kiddos egg and cheese was so healthy and now I know better and people give me grief that I'm making better choices. Never said a word when we took them to BK for Saturday morning breakfast! It would be nice to see head to head - birthday cake oats vs a pancake or cereal 😊. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a bunch for the great idea! That’s so true!!
My nephew has allergies to only certain cats. For instance he has 2 tabby short hair cats but when i had a maincoon long hair he got the same reaction as Max. Doctor said its the kind of hair that causes skin to have reaction...not breed or type of animal.
All allergies are related to tired liver
I would lower their fat intake especially in the morning
I know it’s against your beliefs but fat free mornings for kids is a great way to help their livers
I’ve done it and my little one has no more reactions to anything
Nutritional yeast is very agressif to kid’s nerves too
May give lots of reactions
I’m vegan since almost 20y mum and therapist 😉
Mine was the reverse. I had a cat for 17 years no problem. After she passed anytime I was around another cat my asthma would kick up. Now no cats for me.
Erin I had all kinds of pets most of my life. It was not until my late 40’s that I started having all kinds of allergies. Now I always had allergies to dairy and citrus. But later on to plants, bushes, trees, soaps, lotions, perfumes, beans, peas, nuts, soy, certain sea food, and most of all furry pets. We had dogs and kitty kats but Labradors are deadly to me, and if I am around kitty kats too much I will also end up in the hospital. Maybe try taking Max around these kitties again a bit, and see if it keeps happening. And then maybe get a Dr.s advice. I sincerely hope he outgrows it. It is not fun, especially since I love kitty kats and dogs. Liv is growing so fast and so precious like Max. God Bless.
Why take the kiwi peel off? It has 3x the amount of vit c And banana peels are so good for you
We eat the kiwi peels but they’re too difficult for a baby to eat!
So excited for your move to Florida!! Can't wait to try the ELSE with my little boy. He's just about 2 months younger than Liv.
On a side note: I started following your page about a year ago. At that time I was dairy free, but hadn't gone completely plant based yet. After having my son I started having some tough PPD and PPA (postpartum depression and anxiety). I didn't want to be stuck on medications forever and I remembered you had said in the past that was really what got you started on this journey too. I am so inspired by you and your family and finally took the plunge and went completely plant based about a month and a half ago and have been loving every minute of it. I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do. You are my mentor in this process and truly think that plant based has not only changed my life for the better, but my families as well. I learn something new from you each time I watch a vlog or read a new post. Keep doing the wonderful things you're doing and have a safe trip to Florida.
God Bless,
Meg
Awe thank you so much for sharing a piece of your journey with me, Meg! I’m so glad to hear you’re finding our videos a source of inspiration! Best wishes to you and your family!!
My daughter had the same thing happen with cats but she is fine with dogs. We just keep children's Benadryl around. just in case she has bad hives break out or her breathing seems altered. Not all cats bother her it must be something to do with the cats skin they shed.
My babies aren’t allergic to cats or dogs, but their saliva is another story! I NEVER knew it was possible but it definitely is. The fur is totally fine when we pet but we have to wash our hands right after contact. And definitely avoid animals licking their faces especially the eyes.
My baby will be 11 months old tomorrow. She eats really small portions. But I see Liv has small portions too. ☺️☺️☺️ I’m not vegan but I love seeing what Liv eats! 😍😍😍 it gives me idea for my baby too. Really helpful. Thank you!!
Haha feeding kids is the hardest thing! Thanks for following along!
I never had allergies to cats till I had none and then got a new cat which gave me allergies but after awhile it went away and now my cats sleep next to me. No more watery eyes and sneezing. Time will only tell if it go away or not.
Hi! I am an allergy mom who also has allergies. I grew up with cats my whole life but it was still allergic. It triggers my asthma itchy eyes and sneezing. My son will actually break out and hives and have the same symptoms as me. He is also allergic to cats. The rule of thumb with allergens that we were always taught. Repeated exposures can worsen over time. However because it's an environmental allergen he may be able to take allergy meds or get shots to help. Otherwise I would avoid there's no guarantee that being around the animal repeatedly will lead to out growing it.
My baby is a day older than yours so I love watching what she eats. My only question is you don’t need to flatten the peas and berries? I thought you did. Thanks!
No need to flatten the peas, but it is a good idea to slice blueberries in half for a bit when they are first introduced.
That’s what we did!
Always was allergic but anytime I have the animals around consistently my allergies are lessen
Why are oils ok for kids and babies but adults should avoid them? Wouldn’t a better option be adding more nut butters, avocados or ground seeds to their foods to get those added calories and fats?
I think it’s primarily about caloric density. Babies have super tiny tummies so oil is an easy way to add extra healthy fats and calories in a concentrated amount. Adults don’t need the refined oils for the same reasons, esp if they may have heart disease. Hope this helps!
I think having an outdoor cat will definitely minimise any effects that Max may get, but exposure in small amounts are the way to go for sure. Love this and all your videos, good luck with the move xx
My son is allergic to cats and dogs. We ended up getting golden doodles from an amazing breeder in Florida and they can ensure that the dog you get is an F1B and therefore does not shed and is does not cause allergies. You can go the allergy shot route once he is older, but we just make sure to carry Benadryl with us at all times and also a warm bath or shower will help as well.
Loved your video! I have two pieces of advice for you - watch out for too many almonds or other nuts in kid’s foods. A few are fine but bombarding their bodies with nuts every day can lead to a sensitivity in the future. I never had nut allergies but do now since I’ve been drinking almond milk so much & eating hand fills of nuts. Now I can’t have any.
Regarding cats, I had an allergy to cats my entire life, but I’d still have a cat periodically in the house & have to take an allergy pill every day. My last cat passed away a few yrs ago & I haven’t had to take an allergy pill since (which is worth not having one inside). Outside is 👍
Thanks for sharing your advice and experience! Appreciate it!
that's so not true, I ate nuts 247 as a kid and I do not have any food allergies
One of my friends was allergic to cats but got one as a pet anyway. After about a year, her allergy completely vanished.
Thank you for the video! I have had cats my entire life and am also allergic. I find that every time we go through a short period without cats my allergies clear, then we rescue a cat and my allergies come back. However, the allergies become much less severe as I become used to their fur. Also, I have heard that the flavonoid Quercetin is great for allergies. It is present in lots of fruits and veggies, such as, raspberries, cherries, red grapes, red onions...
Waiting for "Liv to the Max" to become the new mantra...
Lol I say it all the time!
@@EatMoveRest Yes!! 🤣🤣
I'm allergic to cats and I had repeat exposure. The allergic reaction got worst. I was okay with dogs. No reaction at all.
Delicious food. As an aside, I remember Dr Michael Klaper saying that adults needed 30% healthy, plant-based fats in their diets to ward off dementia in old age. That was his one regret, seeing several of his vegan clients 30/40 years down the track, now developing cognitive issues so I think the brain needs more fat than we think, at all stages in life.
I hear ya! That’s prob close to where we sit with fats!
I am allergic to my cat. Before he got fixed I didn't have any issues with allergies but after he got fixed I always get stuffed up and have itchy eyes after I see him. Maybe tou and Dusty can do a allergy test to cats Max may have a n allergy to them
This is a fantastic video! Even tho my kiddos are grown it's good to see how things have changed since raising mine and it's prepping mew for grand-kiddos!
I agree with you on the exposure to the animals to build that internal tolerance!
I used to study under Dr. Luc DeShepper, homeopath who also said it's definitely possible even from the standpoint of homeopathic constitutions! Hw was a medical doctor with licenses in deaf countries and multiple states. He was also an acupuncturist and has written many books and taught in universities around the world!
Keep going with your instinct Erin! YOU know best!
Hugs,
Rachele~
I’m raising 3 vegan kids since birth so you guys are great inspiration to us. Since we grow most of our own food in our backyard, our kids eat lots of homegrown veggies like kale, beets, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes and of course lentils, beans and tofu from the store.
Glad to see you are feeding your children healthy plant-based fats and oils. Now I just wish people would get over the hang-up of adults eating them! I've never been made fat from consuming olive oil.
It’s less of a “weight gain” thing for adults and more about heart health.
Beautiful video 😍😍😍 I’m vegan. I have a 3 month old. Can’t wait to start making his meals 🤩
My kid’s allergic to oxalates, so half that food won’t go through her intestine.
Excellent video Erin and if I ever became a father I would want my children raised on a vegan WFPB diet. Yummy 😋 food. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕♥️ the Stanczyks.
Thanks a bunch, that really means a lot to us!
Love this! I'm pregnant with my first so, I'm going to have to bing all of your baby/toddler feeding videos. Can't wait to raise a vegan babe♡
My oldest son is allergic to cats, however his allergy gets better with repeated exposure and after a few days he was totally fine and played with our cats with no problems.
I'm brand new to this channel and think what you are doing is awesome! 6 years ago I donated a kidney to my eldest son, back in 1988 when he was born we didn't have access to the internet. He was such a fussy eater as a toddler and my only advice came from my misguided parents being so long as he has his meat and dairy he will be ok but in fairness the local family doctor was recommending cigarettes for stress when they were growing up. I won't mention recommending jabs for infants that they don't need right now. We only found out he had chronic kidney disease when he was in the later stages so I threw myself and everything I had into diet and nutrition. Thankfully we made it through but I had no idea how big an influence the meat and dairy industry had on our governments until I researched it. Your doing a wonderful job with your beautiful family, long may it continue ❤
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing a bit of your story! So glad you got through that!
