Vegan moms...Is nutritional yeast OK for baby?

KCKSarah · December 2011

Its been suggested that I roll my 7 month old's food in wheat germ or cereal dust to make it easier for LO to grasp. Since I'm gluten-free, baby is to for the time being. I thought I might roll her food in Bragg's Nutritional Yeast. Any reason this isn't good for a baby?

I like the vegan mac and cheese made with it, lots of B vitamins

Healthwise, it's fine AFAIK, but she might have an issue with the flavor. Even after all this time, I only like it in small doses!

I'm no longer vegan but still use nutritional yeast! I always gave it to my son--nothing wrong with extra B vitamins!

You could also use coconut, quinoa or GF oat flour (or crushed GF dry cereals).

We used it on tofu when B was young, but he hated it. Not sure if it was the texture (the tofu) or the flavor of the flakes, but it was more work than it was worth for us since we had to hunt the stuff down. If you have it handy it definitely works as a cereal dust substitute with far more nutritional benefits.

A friend told me that too much depletes calcium absorption... don't know how much is too much though
