Sprout Right

Sprout Right is a Canadian book which is always good to have.  It covers the basics of nutrition from your pregnancy through toddler land.

I've found the book pretty helpful.  Mostly for introducing foods to the Munchkin and the basic recipes to get you started.  It's helpful to know that Rice Cereal constipates babies and how to avoid that (mind you according to me it's simple.....don't give it to them).

It's not the only book I'm using, but it's one of them and I find it helpful.

You can check their website our at Sprout Right.  In addition to the book, there are workshops, menu plans etc.... and so on that you can buy.

Happiest Baby on the Block

Some of our friends gave us a DVD to watch before the baby was born.  It was called The Happiest Baby on the Block.  They said it was well worth watching and would change our lives.  

I would tend to agree.  This video gave us a number of methods to help with the screamies and get him to sleep.  I highly recommend the book or the video.  Probably the video more as it demonstrates the techniques in a good visual way.  

This DVD has in depth instructions on Swaddling among other things.  I will be posting some helpful (hopefully) information on swaddling in a future post.
