happiest baby on the block

I just watched a movie called "The Happiest Baby on the Block". There's a book by the same name, but I didn't want to take the time to read the book. I was hoping it would have advice to help with Cory's naps, but it was geared towards younger kids. According to the author, Dr. Harvey Karp, babies are age 0-8 months and toddlers are 8 months-5 years. So I have two toddlers!
But I was interested in Dr. Karp's methods for calming babies, so I'll record them here for future reference. Key ideas include:
The fourth trimester - first three months of a baby's life. Their brain is still so immature they behave more like a fetus than a baby, so they need to be treated more like a fetus, especially when calming them. It's OK to recreate elements of the womb - they won't be spoiled.
Calming strategies include the 5 "S's": swaddle (snuggly), shush (as loudly as they are crying. White noise or radio static work), side (put them on their side or stomach, if you get the right angle they automatically calm down), swinging (more like a fast jiggling, especially their head), sucking (if pacifier, don't use until nursing is fully established. When they're sucking, bump it with your finger so they think it's falling out. They'll suck harder and learn faster)
The movie was only 38 minutes, definitely worth watching for me. It didn't teach me much about sleep, but there were a few tips and I really liked the 5 S's.

Menu for a 10 month old boy

I can't remember what Jason was eating at this age. Cory has a lot of teeth and he has never been very enthused about baby food, so it's possible he's eating whole foods a lot earlier than Jason was.
Breakfast:
Yogurt and rice cereal
cheerios or baby cereal puffs
Water
Lunch and Dinner: a combination of some the following -
Fruit - canned pears/peaches (in fruit juice, not sugar water), diced
banana, diced
applesauce
baby food fruit
Veggies - cooked carrots, diced
cooked sweet potato, diced
baby food veggies
protein - baby meat sticks, diced
cheese, small cubes
baby food meat or meals
grain - ritz crackers
cheerios
rice
bread, broken in tiny pieces
bottle of water
Sometimes we'll give him other stuff, like little bits of whatever we're eating, but that's usually what he eats. I also nurse him about 4 times a day - waking up, before morning nap, before afternoon nap, before bed - and he snacks on cheerios or crackers during car trips and stuff.
