All About Baby was an early American daytime television children's series, which aired from October 1954 to July 1955 on several stations of the now-defunct DuMont Television Network, including flagship station WABD.
The host was Ruth Crowley, a nurse and childcare expert who had been writing an advice column under the name "Ann Landers" since 1943. On the show, she offered advice to new mothers on how to care for their infant children. The show went off the air just three weeks before Crowley died.
Produced by DuMont affiliate WGN-TV in Chicago, the series originally began as a local show in 1953. Sponsors included Swift Meats and Libby's Baby Food. Episodes aired in a 15-minute time-slot, as was often the case with US daytime series of the era.
Episode status
Although few recordings survive of daytime programs by DuMont stations, three episodes of All About Baby are held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. These episodes are from June/July 1955.
