Also, I will talk about the demand that baby food has in the last years. In addition, the regulations that government has for this type of food.

Karly your annotated biblography fits well with what you are researching. Everything is a very reliable source and you explained which parts of the readings connected and stood out to what you were writing about.Also, the authors names were in alphabetical order as suppose to. Your sources listed were relevant because I've read all of the sources you posted and they were very good connections. I think maybe you should try to get opinions from mothers with babies and see how they feel about what you've researched get their point of view out there.I think this topic will make a good reearch paper becasue this is something people that doesnt know about need to kmnow about. This is very interesting and different for domeone to write about.

As asia also said putting the authors in alphabetical order was great.
The topic which you will be researching fits well with the sources you found. They are reliable resources found from The New York Times which is always a highly recommended source for your essay, as well as using google books that you could use to search up a whole bunch of great information. As for citing your sources it was clear and in the proper format using MLA. It seems very clear as to your topic and what you want to talk about. A lot of people don't know the effects of baby food and would be interested especially mothers the benefits of their babies if food was to be made at home.
