Baby 411 Book Cover

  • Without a doubt, Baby 411 is among the best books ever written for parents and caregivers regarding the appropriate and very logical approach to infant and childcare. It is cleverly written, easy to understand, well organized, and often extremely humorous. Parents, grandparents, and anyone responsible for the rearing and day-to-day care of children should have this book available as a ready resource. I do!

    ―Jan Drutz, MD, professor of pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine

  • Healthcare providers talk endlessly about providing information that empowers parents to make the best decisions for their children. But the truth is few have the skills to do it. Ari Brown is one of a rare breed who has that gift.

    ―Paul Offit, MD, FAAP

  • I love Baby 411! It continues to be a godsend to me on a regular basis. Thank you for writing an easy-to-read and interpret book that answers basic and not-so-basic questions regarding babies.

    ―A. Vandervine, mom

Welcome to parenthood! Having a baby is both exciting…and terrifying. Let’s face it, you suddenly have a huge responsibility. Your new parent crash course will leave you with questions, from the basic (What’s THAT in my baby’s diaper?) to the serious (Why is my baby screaming?). When you’re scrolling online for answers, you’re more likely to be overwhelmed than reassured when it’s hard to tell what information is credible and put it into context.

Real info I needed without freaking me out!

What is Rash-O-Rama?

Baby 411 discusses many topics—one common question parents have: “Is this rash a problem?” To compliment the description of common rashes in the book, here are video slideshows of common rashes. The first batch are contagious; the second video is non-contagious. We also have videos that cover allergic reactions, birthmarks and a visual library of other issues discussed in Baby 411.

FYI: These videos are NSW (Not Safe for Work). The pictures are for medical illustration purposes only. Always consult your baby’s doctor for questions about rashes, allergic reactions and other issues pictured in these videos.
