On the subject of the couple whos child died - unfortunately we don't have enough information about what was going on with them, their backgrounds, education, etc. What was their support group, did they have interaction with medical professionals, etc.

I agree that most infants of vegans I know are robust. I also know that those who for what ever reason cannot nurse will use which ever formula is best for their child. There is even a commercial infants formula which is soy based. This situation is a very unfortunate occurrance and not at all typical of people who live an educated Vegan or Vegatarian life style.
