This book was Heaven sent!:
I found this book about a month after we had our son. I would have loved to have it sooner. It was and still is 18 months later a great book. It answered so many questions and brought up things as first time parents we would not have thought of. My husband and I made it through 117 days in the NICU alot more informed and confident that our son was getting excellent care.
Better understanding of preemie:

Great book for preemie parents!:
We bought this when our son was born 10 weeks early. This book is very well written and easy to understand. It takes you through the early NICU days all the way to school age.

Highly recommended for... more info
The Best Guide through preemie parenthood:
I am both a physician and a mother of a son who arrived 11 weeks early. This book has helped in every facet of my premature parenthood from breastfeeding (or, in my case, my ongoing attempts) to just feeling I was not the only preemie parent out there. In addition, the explanations of the various medical problems premature babies may face are excellent. Truly, a book that every premature parent would benefit from having.
