This book is a necessity that should be on the shelf, or beside the bed, or next to the apnea monitor in every preemie household. Full of practical advice based on the wisdom and actual broad experience of its authors, reassuring parents that they can provide their special children with the best possible care. Parents will find comfort in these pages. I think this is the best preemie resource available today.
Parents excitedly look forward to the birth of a healthy full-term baby.
Sometimes their desire and dreams are shattered with the arrival of a premature infant. But, it is much more than just a medical resource. It also offers advice and support from parents who have been there and survived. Not only will this manual be a tool for parents, it should also serve as a guide for pediatricians, therapists and educators. It can help the 'medical expert,' realize some of the many challenges faced by parents and children born prematurely and allow them to better serve the entire family.
