I love this baby food and nutrition book
When Charlotte started solids, I checked out a bunch of books from the library to get ideas for types of food to feed at different ages and for recipes. One of the books I checked out was Happy Baby: The Organic Guide to Baby's First 24 Months. One of the authors is Dr. Sears, the author of a bunch of parenting and baby sleep books.
I ended up tagging so many pages in this book, that I bought a copy for myself.
I found the following pages very helpful:
On page 73, there's a chart that shows approximately how often babies need to eat when breastfed.
On page 75, there's a chart that shows approximately how much weight baby might gain.
On page 83, you can find some guidelines for breast milk storage.
On page 99, there's a chart that shows approximately how often and how much babies need to eat when formula fed.
On pages 160 and 162, there are sample eating schedules for a 7 month old and a 10 month old. I found these very helpful.
On page 176, the book discusses nitrates in homemade baby food and how long to cook different types of food.
Since Charlotte just turned one, pages 187 through 229 were particularly useful since there was a chart showing about how much protein, carbs, fat, vitamins, iron and calcium a one year old should receive and from which foods. The book also goes into detail in these pages about why each nutrient is important for baby's growth.

Chart of Solid Foods
I found this chart that is pretty good for solid food ideas to introduce to baby at what age. Scroll down on the page past the ads to see the chart.

How'd she get over there?
When baby sleeps, sometimes I function on fear. Fear that she'll wake up after only 30 minutes of sleep and not go back down, fear that a stuck poop is going to wake her up meaning changing her and the end of the nap. Right now, I'm feeling the SIDS fear. The bumper that I made for her is still attached to the crib so that her little limbs don't get caught in between the rails and wake her up. If she should turn her head, which I've often seen her do while sleeping, will she wake up, or will se be stuck there and be at risk for SIDS? Yesterday, the foot of he lullaby dog hanging on the crib was grazing her forehead which solicited a cry from her. Hopefully, a face plant into the bumper wil do the same. I'll just keep watching my little princess and the pea...
