Baby 411
Meet the co-author of Baby 411, Dr. Brown

Baby 411 was created by the same team that brought you Baby Bargains—Denise & Alan Fields. This time, we’ve added a new twist: a co-author, Dr. Ari Brown.

Actually, Dr. Brown has written the majority of this book . . . especially the detailed medical advice. An award-winning, Harvard-trained pediatrician in private practice in Austin, TX, Dr. Brown graduated from the Baylor School of Medicine. She did her pediatric residency at the renowned Children’s Hospital in Boston, under the auspices of legendary pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton. In short, Dr. Brown knows her stuff. (Read about Dr. Brown's recent media highlights.)

Denise Fields brings her 15 years of experience as a consumer advocate to Baby 411—as the co-author of Baby Bargains and Toddler Bargains, Fields has been featured on Oprah, The Today Show and Good Morning America as well as in articles in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. For Baby 411, Denise adds in her experience as both a mom and author—many of the questions we get on our message boards hit the same hot button issues you’ll see here.

As always, the secret sauce to our books is reader feedback. First, you’ll notice readers of our previous books contributed to several sections of this book—you’ll see their “Real World Feedback” when it comes to topics like child care, feeding and more. Second, look at the questions we list in each chapter. These are the frequent questions asked by patients of Dr. Brown and the readers of Baby Bargains . . . and the same questions that most first-time parents ponder.

Yes, both of the authors of this book are also mommies. They have four children between them. Best of all, the authors are from your generation—we know you want detailed info, the latest research and trends, plus handy web resources. We know you want to go online to get the latest updates, so we’ve created a special web site for this book (Baby411.com). Here you can read any breaking news, swap stories with other parents on our message boards and sign up for a free newsletter that will provide even more insight. (See links at the left).
