There might be useful info here: The Vegan Society
Be extremely careful if you decide to feed your baby in a vegan manner. Infants need a lot of fat & calories, something decidedly harder to get with vegan foods.
yea we will definitely work with our dr

Well I often go by the rule of one grain, one green and one bean as a base to make a healthy meal, but since it has to be gluten free, there are alternatives, for example, buckwheat unlike what the name suggest, it's not related to wheat, it's a seed. It contains a lot of proteins and fiber and you can even find noodles made of it. You can combine those things and make stir-frys. It's quick and easy so I eat that often.
Also, is it a gluten allergy either of you had for some time? Then I suppose you're already aware of a lot of gluten free products in shops, use those (provided they're free from milk and eggs) and you can make recipes you are used to. You just have to tweak them a little. Instead of mince, put beans in the spaghetti sauce, for instance and serve over gluten free pasta. Sometimes it's as simple as that. Vegan food can be simple or really complex with lots of flavours.
There's lots of websites about how to balance a vegan diet, with nutrients and such, I don't have them on the device I'm using atm, but I see the vegan society was already linked. There's more you can google, but I'll see if I can put a few links here later when I'm on the PC. I also wonder if there's any cookbooks that could help.

There is protein in everything, you can even look it up on Google; so don't be put off by people who are uneducated... You should supplement your diet with vitamins; yet so should everyone now a days, as the food we grow doesn't have the nutrition it used to.
You need to make sure you get a good range of vitamin b, especially b12, and omega oils which you can get from hemp protein; hemp protein powder is 45% protein, which makes it better than eating meat, great for weight training etc.

1. Rice (don’t know about Indian Rice grass and Wild Rice), 2. Corn, 3. Teff (Rava), 4. Millet (Ragi), 5. Sorghum (Bajra), 6. Oats (Jowar - must be free of admixture of glutinous grains). Many people in India know no other food than rice. Add corn and I would not miss wheat. For a change I could use the rest. Lentils: Chickpea flour (Besan) is common, Blackgram flour (Urad) also is used.

Assuming your wife is breastfeeding...
A baby actually thrives best on breastmilk exclusively for the first 6 months. That means no cereal, no baby food jars, etc, are necessary the whole time. And that's at least the first six months of life. So going longer on nothing but breast milk even up to the first birthday is quite typical and actually quite the ideal, if not the norm, through much of the non industrialized world.
Introducing foods into a baby's diet is for helping kiddo learn the social manners you and your wife have while also helping them learn how to chew, how to bring hand to mouth, and generally play with food (yeah it's better to let them do it...they're learning what food actually IS). Our kiddos played with bananas, mashed sweet potatoes, and avocados and had a lot of fun learning how to get a chunk of the mish mash into their mouths.
After the first year, being able to sit up, drink from a cup or a straw, chew on finger foods, and learning the habits the family already has at dinner time, the actual nutrient content begins to matter. If your wife is breastfeeding, her milk can still provide the bulk of nutrients up until 18 months. By the time your kid's second birthday hits, breastfeeding begins to be more (not all though) a source of comfort.
Vegan diets are much more accessible nowadays than when I was a vegan. I had to figure it out on my own back then, but you and your wife have tons of resources at your disposal. I breastfed my kids until they naturally weaned. And never an ear infection. Rarely even a respiratory infection. I had, and still have, healthy kids that are never sick even grown and ready to leave the house. They have immune systems that I think should be patented, mass produced, and sold on the open market so we can make billions.
But again, this is pretty much applicable for breastfed children. If your baby is formula fed, I got nothing else to offer.

actually nutrition and energy decrease up the food chain. only toxins increase up the food chain .
Well it WAS a ribeye steak craving when I was four months pregnant that ended my vegan days forever.

Personally, I wouldn't even try to put small children on a vegan diet. Let them grow up a couple years and then switch them to it once they get off the formula and other baby foods. It's just too hard to compensate.... You should mine the Seventh Day Adventists (most of them are vegan), Indian Cuisine, and some Muslims are completely vegan or veg as well -- you can get a lot of food to eat just by going through their books that they publish for their adherents...
