Description

Fast, evidence-based advice that’s a lot more accurate than “Dr. Google”!

This easy-to-use guide offers parents the advice they need for (distressing) baby and toddler health and development concerns—fast! Dr. Altmann draws on more than 20 years in practice to answer parents’ most frequently asked questions in a convenient Q&A format. Topics covered include breastfeeding, baby care, developmental stages, first aid and injuries, sleep, vaccines, and more. Parents can dip in and out of this resource as-needed for trustworthy information, getting evidence-based answers and skipping the contradictory, misleading, and sometimes dangerous information on the internet. This new edition is fully revised and updated and includes COVID-19 information, new fever guidelines, and reflects all current American Academy of Pediatrics policy.
