Preemies is the only resource of its kind -- a comprehensive "Dr. Spock"-like reference that is both reassuring and realistic, delivering up-to-the-minute information on medical care in a warm, caring, and engaging voice. Authors Dana Wechsler Linden and Emma Trenti Paroli are parents who have "been there." Together with neonatologist Mia Wechsler Doron, they answer the dozens of questions that parents will have at every stage -- from high-risk pregnancy through preemie's hospitalization, to homecoming and the preschool years -- imparting a vast, detailed store of knowledge in clear language that all readers can understand. Preemies covers topics related to premature birth,including: - What are your risk factors for having a premature baby?
- Can you do something to delay early labor?
- What do doctors know about you baby's outlook during her first minutes and days of life?
- How will your preemie's progress be monitored?
- Can you breastfeed your preemie?
- How do you cope with a long hospitalization?
- What should you know if your baby needs surgery?
- Are there special preparations for you baby's homecoming?

Summary: Preemies
Comment: Great Book! Helped us a lot to survive our 25 weeker's roller coaster NICU ride.
A Must have for the preemies parents!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Helpful during a stressful time.
Comment: Our youngest son was born 14wks premature and not knowing anything about extreme premature babies we saught out a good book to help be a resource. Our son was lucky to only have a cpap and appeared to be doing well, but soon we were on quite a ride. From NEC, intestinal surgery, Pulminary Hypertension, chronic lung disease and surgery to repair a hole in his heart, we weren't sure what he was going to be up against next. This book helped guide us in a factual way.
Today he is 13 months old and has overcome EVERYTHING! He is a healthy and happy little boy working on keeping up with his big brother. We feel incredibly blessed.

Summary: Preemies
Comment: This product was extemely helpful in getting me ready for my twins. They were born 11 weeks eary and I was much more prepared for the NICU and what the care would involve for the hospital stay for my boys. I would suggest others with multiples or complications read it.

Summary: Excellent book for preemie parents
Comment: My baby is a micro-preemie that was born at 24 weeks and 1 day gestationally. He is now 28 weeks gestational age. The NICU loaned me a copy and I pretty much devoured it.
This book was wonderful in letting me know what to expect and where my preeemie was developement wise. He has had two surgeries (for a collapsed lung and PDA) and the book helped to calm my fears and inform me of the process. The book seems to cover every issue, even when the preemie goes home and what the future looks like for him/her.
I would recommend this to any parent with a preemie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very informative
Comment: This book was full of useful information that helped me feel more calm after learning my niece would come early.
