Supplement her diet with food. High
quality foods that contain protiens and
calcium and d vitamins. It will require
her having store bought milk fortified
with vitamin d, let her go out in the sun
which is a very good way to help her body
to make vitamin d.
Being a vegitarian as an adult is fine but
you are taking a serious risk of causeing
even more harm to her by maintaining this
vegan diet.
She is a baby and needs foods from every
source available.
