. A book after my own heart! This book was written by the founders of HAPPY BABY, Robert W. Sears, M.D., FAAP, and Amy Marlow, MPH, RD, CDN. The book is deliciously thick (399 pages!), yet easy-to-navigate.The book is broken up into logical sections which hold several chapters each:
Part One: The Happy (and Green!) Family (How to be a Green Family and Taking Care of Mama)
Part Two: The Happy (and Well-Fed! Baby) (Breastmilk & Bottle Feeding, Eating for Two, Solid Food, Healthy Foods, Mealtime Challenges and Practical Solutions)
Part Three: The Green and Happy Home (Green Products for Baby, How to Make a Green Home for Baby)
Part Four: Check, Please: A Checklist for Baby and Toddler Wellness
Pretty awesome, right? I love that it covers such a wide range of ages, because as you know, babies change so much, just day-to-day and it's hard to keep up with what's-what sometimes!
One of my favorite parts was the chart that detailed different types of food and their vitamin contents! What a great resource!

I would love this book since I have a son who is a year and eats mainly organic foods. I am also a fan of Happy Baby on FB. Ducklingg10@yahoo.com
This book looks great! I'd love to win it!!
I am on this constant mission to educate myself on the ever-evolving nutrition needs of my daughter. I want to share with her and my family the importance of organic, whole foods. And ultimately, my wish is by doing this, I will help my daughter create a healthy relationship with food and hopefully she will be able to share what she learns with her family years and years from now. I trust Happy Baby and would love to see what ideas they have to share to help me on this ambitious mission. Thanks!!

I am a new mom with a baby ready to transition from milk to first foods. I want to make the best decisions I can to give my baby a very healthy start.
I have two picky eaters and need some help!
I would love this book! My daughter is 7 month old. I am trying to make a lot of her baby food using organic food. Being a new mom, it can be quite overwhelming. This book could give me a lot of ideas. I would also like my house to be more "green." for my little one.
I like your page on facebook.

It must be fate that I have come across your website as our almost 2 yo is really struggling with food issues. Or is it us that is struggling? My husband and I are always on a constant journey of self-improvement (isn't everyone??) and eating an organic diet has been routine for a number of years (when we can afford it). However, our son is not cooperating with this and is eating a lot of healthy "junk", which is stressing me out to the MAX. I would love to have this book to reference to help problem solve some of these issues while offering support and other food suggestions. Thank you for posting this! bluefrogdesign@hotmail.com
I have "liked" The Baby in the Kitchen page on FB and "liked" Happy Baby on FB as well!!!
