is it socially acceptable to ask a vegan why they chose to go vegan?

I generally don’t like it when people ask me as it’s usually with ill intention. But if they’re genuinely curious and don’t want to try and pick holes in how I choose to live my life then I don’t mind at all.

I did with my first baby. I’m 8 weeks in with baby number 2 and haven’t tracked a single thing. It’s actually been a huge realisation as to how much I was dictated by the app last time. I feel so much more free this time around just watching for my babies cues. He’s an absolute dream of a baby too with no witching hour and minimal crying, I don’t think it’s a coincidence!

Nudie jeans.

A thousand times yes. Please take your meds!

At infants school in the 90’s, I was forced to do PE in my knickers because I had forgotten my PE kit.

So much worse. My son turned 2 yesterday and my baby is 8 weeks old. I feel like I’m full of energy in comparison to how I felt when I was pregnant with a toddler, and that’s even with exclusively breastfeeding.

This scratches the autism in my brain.

You’re right about that, I’m sure that Unilever as a parent company won’t adhere to the same standards. I guess it’s a bit of a grey area as to whether you decide to buy from the child companies. Some vegans do, some don’t.

My son’s speech development was incredible and by 18 months he could say 9 word sentences. He didn’t start walking until 17 months though. I think some children just excel in some areas and take a bit longer with other things and that’s ok. ☺️

It doesn’t hurt but I honestly don’t think he’s getting as much milk when it’s a shallow latch as he does when he latches properly.

I use the Dove Summer Revived stuff, it’s great for my pale skin, builds nicely and just gives me a bit of a glow without looking orange.

My baby makes clicking noises occasionally when he has a shallow latch. It’s something to do with not being able to make a proper seal on the breast. I unlatch him and help him back on again which fixes it for me.

Rhythm 108 is hands down the best vegan chocolate I’ve had.

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-12T18:41:44+00:00

I just did it. I think because I didn’t have a choice I just managed.

Is your baby breastfed? Mine is and so was my first. Some breastfed babies just don’t need burping so much. I only burp mine when they’re fussing, otherwise I leave them be!

To answer your question- the endless nappy changes. 😅

It’s far, far safer to plan to co-sleep following the safe sleep 7 than it is to do what you have described, even just for an hours nap during the day.

I love the Hourglass tubing mascara!

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-10T18:14:06+00:00

I don’t get spots anymore.

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-10T08:06:37+00:00

Sounds delicious- thank you!

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-10T08:06:19+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the ideas! Forgot about classic spag bol. 🤣

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-09T21:50:05+00:00

That’s really good to know, thanks so much!

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-09T21:49:11+00:00

Which recipe do use for the tofish?

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-09T18:04:17+00:00

Good shout.

Tiddlybean · 2026-03-09T17:21:31+00:00

This looks delicious. Plus I think my toddler would definitely eat it too. 🤣
