Can I call my baby a vegan if I'm breast feeding him?

Humans are mammals. One could make the argument that we are intelligent animals. I really want to raise my child as a vegan but I'm concerned about giving him the mammal milk from my teat.

    Why would you want your baby to be a vegan? Humans were meant to eat meat.

    It is perfectly fine to give him breast milk, it has all the essential nutrition that he needs. The reason most people become vegan is because of the treatment of animals, or the fact that humans are 100% herbivorous. In this case there is no animal being abused and for a baby he needs his mothers milk, and once he is weaned onto solid food there is no more need for milk. You were meant to feed you baby, just like any other mother was meant to do for their baby. And yes he is still a vegan.. i hope this helped! :)

    As per your previous questions you are not a vegan or even a woman.

    No, you can't call your baby a vegan. You CAN however call your baby a figment of your imagination.

    That is perfectly fine, its what nature intended! Unlike cow or goat milk..he's a baby human, he's supposed to drink human milk, It's the best thing for him.

    Silly question. Vegansism involves not using animal products. You are not using a an animal product because you're human. I know a lot of people think animals and humans are the same thing, but they're not.

    Don't fool yourself. You are not an intelligent animal.

    Veganism is opposition to animal commodification.

    What part of breast feeding involves this, exactly?
