Editorial Review:
The only comprehensive guide for the parents of "preemies"-from homecoming to the school years. Every day new progress is being made in the care of babies born prematurely, helping them grow up as strong and healthier than ever imagined. But raising "preemies" often places special demands on parents whose little ones seem-especially in those early weeks and months-as fragile as they are precious. This illustrated guide, written by mothers of preemies and medical experts, can help. With guidance on such wide ranging topics as bringing the baby home to medical issues to doctor visits to starting school-plus tips on dealing with the emotional and family stress of parenting a preemie-this book provides the answers needed to optimize that special baby's development.
--Written by a team with both personal and professional experience relating to this topic
--Addresses the physical and emotional challenges from the child's, parent's and extended families' viewpoints
--Includes illustrations
--Unlike other books, this unique, comprehensive, and empowering handbook provides detailed information on a wide range of topics for "preemie parents" after the NICU.

Rating: - This was my bible
This was the best book I have seen for premature babies. When our twin boys were born at 29 weeks, the hospital gave us a book that we could refer to. Everytime you would look at the book it scared you to death. I found this book and I kept it with me at all times. When ever anything came up I would refer to it. The book is very realistic but also very positive. I still refer to it even though our boys are 2. The book is very helpful. I would recomend this book to everyone. It really helped ... Read More
Rating: - Great resource for parents!!!!
I purchased this book after the premature birth of our son. He was considered a "micro preemie" being born at 1 lb 14 oz. We were told in the NICU that many preemies have challenges that were unlike "typical" children, and we thought it would be helpful to refer to this book and to educate ourselves so that we could help identify problems that many pediatricians overlook in preemies.
This book is an absolute must-have for any parent of a preemie. I know that weight is always ... Read More
Rating: - The definitive resource for parents of preemies
Nothing can prepare you for the experience of having a premature baby. Often, once home with baby, parents are confronted with a child who is obviously different from the typical infant. Finding information and support is difficult, because of the very isolating nature of the experience- a tiny, often ill baby isn't able to cope with being carried to environments where parents could find support. In addition, outcomes are difficult to predict and preemies' issues can be as diverse as their personalities. ... Read More
Rating:  - Better books out there
I did not use this book much at all. I thought books by Joseph A. Garcia-Prats and Dana Wechsler Linden were much more helpful.
Rating: - Wow ! This book is so very helpful !
Our twin preemies were born at the begining of December 1999, by the end of December we knew we needed HELP ! We bought this book and have used it almost everyday since. Because of this book we were able to diagnose a problem with one of our sons before the doctor even saw him. When we told him the signs and symptoms of the problem and what we thought was the cause he agreed and was amazed that we even knew about the problem. We would not have known if we did not have this book. It also makes you feel ... Read More
