Design a concise, evidence-based checklist you would use when counseling parents who want to feed their toddler a vegan diet. Which set of items best synthesizes priorities?

• A. Suggest using adult multivitamins at double dose rather than pediatric-specific formulations, intermittently, to cover potential gaps and avoid routine monitoring.
• B. Recommend only home-cooked vegan meals with no fortification or supplementation and suggest parents rotate the same three meals daily to simplify planning because variety is unnecessary.
• C. Ensure fortified milk alternatives and B12 sources, prioritize iron-rich plant foods with vitamin C, consider a pediatric multivitamin/mineral supplement, monitor growth and lab values regularly, and plan for adequate energy and fat intake to support growth.
• D. Advise removing all fortified products, restrict all fats, rely solely on fruit-based foods for vitamins, and schedule no follow-up unless the child becomes symptomatic of deficiency.
