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.
