Be cautious: A vegetarian lifestyle is fine for those who grow up with it & know how to supplement the areas where common vitamin needs are met. Just deciding to do so for a kid at any age can deprive them of important nutrients that will make them sick. If this is your goal meet with a clinical nutritionist to learn what you need to do to avoid these issues. The bottle needs to stop now anyway.
