Baby and Toddler Basics: Expert Answers to Parents' Top 150 Questions

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.
