How true is this for vegan children?

Nutritionists suggest that you keep your infant on a
full-fat, high protein diet after age one, which includes
vegetarian-friendly foods, such as mashed and pureed
avocados, soy milk, nutrient-fortified tofu, and yogurt.
When you are ready to switch your infant to solid
vegetarian foods, you can introduce solid tofu, pieces of
vegetarian burgers, eggs, and cheese.
If you supplement what a nonvegetarian diet lacks, maintain
a full-fat diet, and increase your infant’s sources of
protein, you should have no problem maintaining a healthful
vegetarian diet during your child’s crucial developmental
stages.

To an extent that sounds good but I don't know about the full fat. I think reasonable fat would be best. Obviously full fat would cause obesity and put strain on the bone structure as the child grows but reasonable fat would allow the body to develop enought to leverage the child so they could function properly and develope muscle needed to sustain growth and strength. I actually got a hand held blender and can make my own baby food for friends and families kids. It saves so much money too. Just one of those little cans of carrots costs nearly 1$. I can make about six for that price. Basically, you need some lean foods because they contain vital nutrients. It's all about balance.
