I bought this book to help me figure out how to make sure my infant was receiving all the nutrients necessary and also to help with the transition from just formula to eating regular meals. The book didn't help with information on the transition, but I still think the nutrition information is great.

It has good tips on how to keep feeding time from becoming a battle and good tips on how to start your children out on the right track to healthy eating.

The information on what NOT to feed your infant is also extreemly important and could prevent many choking incidents!
