Vitamin B12

Hi, I have a question for all you experienced vegetarians and vegans. I'm a vegetarian who eats a lot of vegan foods with the expection of eggs (occasionally) and honey. I don't really eat a lot soy products because I have a mild allergy to it (it makes my throat itch). I'm raising my two kiddos (16months and 4 years old) on the same diet. My only concern with our diet is if we're getting enough vitamin b12. Do those of you with vegetarian/vegan kids give them vitamin supplements? I'm not a huge fan of multi vitamins especially since all the kids ones seem to contain gelatin, hfcs and or artifical colours and dyes. My partner and I are talking about having another baby, if I get pregnant this will be my first pregnancy on a veggie diet. We eat very healthy and pretty balanced but we don't eat a lot of fortified foods and I just want to make sure we're getting enough of what we need. Any tips and advice are appreciated. Thanx :)
