Inspired by the questions pediatricians are most often asked, this guide provides on-the-spot, concise advice for those who are unsure about how to handle their child’s condition. Offering the insight of a parent of children under the age of three and the experience of a pediatrician, this resource provides information on a diverse range of topics, including How can I be sure that my newborn is getting enough to eat? Should I worry that my child has a fever after getting his shots today? What should I do if I think my child swallowed a coin? and I don't know what vaccine information to trust—should I vaccinate my son? in a reassuring yet humorous tone.

Review From Mom of Toddler
Sep 28 2008
By Marie
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have one little boy who is 16 months and I have found this book to be a wonderful resource for the many toddler related questions that come up on a daily basis. The author writes in a clear and concise manner and really hones in on the questions I care about. Most of the baby books out there take a lot of space to say very little so this book was wonderfully refreshing and the most useful of the bunch. It is by far the best baby/toddler book I have read - and I have read a lot of them.

Dr. Tanya's tips answer these questions and many more. Mommy Calls is a gift to parents and doctors alike, with quick access to the most common concerns arise with young children. The only advice Dr. Tanya left out is to make sure you have an extra copy of Mommy Calls to pack in that diaper bag!

The perfect resource for parents!

Format:Paperback
As a first time mother I have made a point to find the best resources when it comes to carring for my daughter. A friend told me about Dr. Tanya's book THE WONDER YEARS which has been so informative to me. Then I happened to see her on The Today Show so I couldn't help but get her most recent book MOMMY CALLS. I consider these books my all in one resource for child rearing!
