Living Miracles: Stories of Hope from Parents of Premature Babies17 reviews
Kimberly Powell, Kim Wilson
St. Martin's Griffin, 2001
The First of its Kind
Three years ago, I took a trip to my local book store in search of books about preemies. The selection I found was limited at best. I spent hours searching for a book with real stories about babies born prematurely-I found not one. I found some good informative books, which were also important, but none that gave me the kind of hope and inspiration I so desperately needed those weeks and months ...

Losing Malcolm: A Mother?s Journey Through Grief9 reviews
Carol Henderson
University Press of Mississippi, 2001
From one mom to another...
I am the mother of a child with congenital heart disease. I suffered much the same as this author, only my daughter lived. This is a wonderful book & I could relate so much, even given the fact that it was not death I was dealing with. Though I did deal with the "death" of the healthy child I thought I had given birth to. And in her place was my very sick & dying child. This author had to deal ...

Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession (Breastfeeding (Lawrence))10 reviews
Ruth A. Lawrence, Robert Lawrence
Mosby, 2005
Excellent and educational for the medical profession
As a gynecologist based in Spain, I found this book extremely helpful while counseling my patients about breastfeeding, and while breastfeeding myself. I think most obstetrical textbooks do not cover enough the aspect of breastfeeding, and numerous questions remain to be answered, some as simple as: both breasts or one breast?. These simple questions, however, are an important source of stress to ...

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A Guide for Families and Communities6 reviews
Ann Pytkowicz Streissguth
Brookes Publishing Company, 1997
Best and most thorough guide to fetal alcohol syndrome
After reading Dr. Streissguth's book on fetal alcohol syndrome, I feel this book should be given to every parent or caretaker who receives this diagnosis about their child. This is the most thorough book I have found on this subject. Dr. Streissguth's knowledge in this area is so extensive and her book offers a step by step approach and guidelines on what you will need to know to in raising ...

Before Their Time: Lessons in Living from Those Born Too Soon6 reviews
Daniel Taylor, Ronald Hoekstra
InterVarsity Press, 2000
Great storytelling
I loved this book. I often read and the gym on the exercise bike and my mind will wander. Not with this book! I was engrossed with the stories and tears came to my eyes often as these people of faith go through very challenging times. Although written to partially explain how the Christian faith of these parents and some of the staff helped them through their individual ordeals, it was not ...

Newborn Intensive Care: What Every Parent Needs to Know7 reviews
Jeanette Zaichkin
NICU Ink Book Publishers, 2002
Calming and Brilliant. This book saved my sanity!
This book shows the caring yet realistic way through the NICU. I ordered this book while in the hospital three weeks prior to my son's early arrival. It made more sense in the NICU, showed me what to exepct and gave me more knowledge to adequately approach my son's medical team without feeling helpless, stupid and uninformed. Being a more well-informed parents allowed us to make correct ...

Kangaroo Care: The Best You Can Do to Help Your Preterm Infant8 reviews
Susan Ludington-Hoe
Bantam, 1993
For more than premies
Our full-term (37wk) son was in the NICU due to a birth defect. This method was explained to us as we started to be able to hold him and I was trying to teach him to nurse. All I can say is IT WORKS. He was able to go home at 6 wks when we were told he would probably be in for than 3 mos. min. When you think about it it makes sense...this baby was inside you and close to you for however many ...

Amazing and touching book! A must have for all NICU families.
This book is fabulous and a must read for NICU parents. I read many books when my twins were in the NICU and this book was my favorite - i couldn't put it down. Both my husband and I kept rereading it and have practically memorized it!
The book is an amazing and touching story of the NICU roller coaster - the stress of seeing your baby in pain, the strain it can be on your marriage ...

Dara Brodsky, Camilia Martin
Hanley & Belfus, 2003
Must buy!!!!
This is a great book for all neonatologists esp. if you are reviewing for the Boards which I just took recently. It has all the information that not a single reference book contains all at one time. The book is really centered on the topics that are high yield. The 2 pages of formulas at the back pages are a MUST read! Its easy reading, concise but complete. Highly recommended.

looking closely at brand new people
This textbook is a wealth of information on what is normal and what is not. It has extensive and readable text, appropriate pictures, and a self-assessment at the end.

I hvae recommended this text to the nurses at the hospital where I work, and they all agree that it is a valuable and affordable reference.

Fatal Cells and Fetal DNA in Maternal Blood: New Developments for a New Millenium : 11th Fetal Cell Workshop, ...
S. Karger Publishers (USA), 2001
Is noninvasive, risk-free prenatal diagnosis of fetal genetic characteristics still a fantasy, or will it soon become reality? The current status of both the leading European research groups as well as the NIH-funded NIFTY study are reported here, indicating that certain fetal genetic traits can now be examined efficiently in a noninvasive manner. Considerable focus is placed on new laser-mediated systems for the effective micro-manipulation of ...

The S.T.A.B.LE. Program: Pre-transport / Post-resuscitation Stabilization Care Of Sick Infants: Guidelines ...5 reviews
Kristine A. Karlsen
American Academy of Pediatrics, 2006
Excellent Resource
The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program provides an excellent overall view to not only stabilizing infants for transport, but caring for them on an everyday basis. STABLE works as an excellent adjuct to NRP, but is NOT a replacement for NRP. I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in the care of neonates - especially those in rural hospitals who rarely deal with ill neonates. As a nurse in a ...

Essential reading
This book has been a God-send. Its clear, comprehensive text, helpful illustrations, and authoritative advice (the lead author is a top Houston neonatologist) is just what my husband and I needed when we found out our baby was going to be born prematurely. We especially liked all of the stories and testimony from parents, people who have experienced the fear and uncertainty of high-risk ...

Guide to Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth4 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995
A "must have" for obstetrical practitioners.
This book is an absolute "must have" for obstetrical practitioners and expectant parents who are looking for a way back into normal childbirth. Medicalized obstetrics has taught their students and society that "techno-birth" is not only logical but safe. This book proves that the way we have been delivering babies for the past 40 years is not the safest most competent care we can give. Hopefully, ...
