Toddler 411 Book Cover

  • Toddler 411 delivers evidence and experience-based recommendations in a format and language that is exceedingly practical and user-friendly. Like Baby 411, I will give a copy to each family.

    ―Jason V. Terk, MD, FAAP, pediatrician

  • Just as I did when I read Baby 411, I felt as if someone was reading my mind answering all of my questions and concerns as a parent. Dr. Brown tackles all of the issues facing parents of toddlers, and has a unique ability as both a pediatrician and a parent. It is a wonderful book to read as well as a useful reference guide to consult over and over again.

    ―Helen Gilbert, mother of toddler

  • Finally, a manual on a two year old! Every household needs this book in every room of the house (and car). We have four children from ages one to six and this addresses many of the situations that we have endured and gives you sensible advice. It’s easy to reference answers on all our toddler dilemmas!

    —Lisa and Karl Shackelford, parents of four

  • This book needs to be read by all parents of toddlers! It not only covers all the essential topics related to this developmental stage, but it is so easy to read and understand. Dr. Brown’s style of writing will keep any parent engaged . . . and most importantly, this book does an excellent job of translating the written words into the practice of parenting.

    —Allison K. Chase, PhD, clinical psychologist

  • This book is exactly what I asked Ari Brown to write for the follow up to Baby 411—I had a toddler going through the “terrible twos” at the time. It gives clear concise information and sound advice in an easy to read format. It is also made more believable by the fact that she has been through it herself and shares some of those experiences.

    —Sandi Treybig, MD, FAAP, pediatrician and mother

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.
