Fantastic

This is a book that answer most of my queries about my little one. It is simple and straight to the point and fast to absorb and to be read. As looking after a Newborn esp.a Preemie is very time consuming and tedious, thus I have no time for long-winded books...This is a great book! It also tells me what to look out for in my baby!

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 a concern, and the book included boy and girl weight charts and seperated it even further to their birth weight (born less than/greater than 1500 grams.) We still use the weight chart today (our son is 2 1/2 years old)
and it can be used up to age 3.

Lots of useful and practical information

Must have for parents of preemies. Not too much reading, and very concise guide for busy parents. Great growth charts, temperature conversion table, etc.

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 us out through this difficult time.
