Hey everyone, I'm chatting with Real Housewife and new mom, Bethenny Frankel, on today's episode of The Doctors. We're talking pregnancy, babies, and girl stuff (so, you might want to watch when there isn't a kiddo in the room...fair warning for my patients who like to see me on TV)!

Toddler 411 is the #1 Toilet training book in US!

 

We have some exciting news! The new 3rd edition of Toddler 411 has hit the bookstores and it is the #1 bestselling toilet training book in the US, according to Amazon.com.

Of course, Toddler 411 is jam-packed with 500 pages of other really useful information on living with and caring for a toddler (besides teaching him to poop on the potty and wipe!) Hope you will take a look at the new and improved edition--we are very proud of it.

New 3rd edition of TODDLER 411 to debut August 30!

Let's see if you recognize this child:

Every tooth brushing is a wresting match.

Bribery is required to get him into his car seat.

You can rate and name his tantrums like tropical storms.

And he only eats beige colored food.

 

If this sounds familiar, you need TODDLER 411. This best-selling guide to surviving toddlerhood has just been updated with a brand new, 3rd edition---due out August 30!

Inside, you'll find:

• 20 Toddler “Moments”: learn the tricks to dealing with 20 common toddler behaviors with proven strategies from veteran parents and an expert pediatrician. The new 3rd edition includes a revised and expanded discipline chapter: you'll find more "what to do" and "what to say" tips for all your toddler dilemmas.

• The LATEST medical news and research on asthma, fluoride, how to treat drug-resistant bugs like Staph and more.

• The RED FLAGS for autism: how to spot it and other developmental delays. What specialists do you need to see? What are the treatment options? Our new EXPANDED section on autism will show the way.

• More on VACCINES: you have questions, we have answers. We’ll discuss the hot buttons (Alternative vaccine schedules? Green vaccines?) and provide you with the latest SCIENCE on vaccines.
