All About Baby was an early American daytime television series, which aired from 1954 to 1955 on several stations of the now-defunct DuMont Television Network, including flagship station WABD.

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.

Format

Ruth Crowley provided advice on the care and feeding of babies. Ruth Holt Crowley RN (c. 1907 - July 20, 1955) was a nurse and child-care expert who had been the original "Ann Landers" (1943-1955).

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.[1][2][3] These episodes are from June/July 1955.
