    Customer rating is 5 of 5  A MUST READ!!!   2009-09-25
    By Angel
    This is a must read for parents,relatives and friends of loved ones with preemies. This book breaks down the lingo the surgeons, doctors and nurses use. I'm planning on purchasing copies for the NICU's of the two neighboring hospitals where I live and my OB's office, I can not begin to tell you what a god sent this was when a close friends child was born at less then 30 weeks.
    Customer rating is 5 of 5  solid information and perspective for new parents/grandparents   2009-09-11

    As a new grandma of twin preemies, this book got me through their first months with peace and information. I love the fact that it gives different perspectives of the first weeks of a preemies life, told me what the doctors and nurses were looking for, calmed me with simple but complete explanations of what new terms meant, but also confirmed for my daughter that her feelings and questions were normal. Both my daughter and I have copies and it is a reassuring and realistic guide to surviving the first months of a preemie's life. Excellent!

    This is the greatest preemie book. My friend gave me a copy when I went into labor with my first at 26 weeks. It answered so many questions. I took it to the meetings I had with the doctors and they were impressed with the book.
    I have loaned my copy out to many other NICU parents.
    I recommend this book for anyone who has a baby in the NICU, but only read the parts that effect you. There is a lot of information and it can be overwhelming.

    Preemies: the essential guide for parents of premature babies

    I bought this book because I needed more clarity on this subject.
    I was blessed with a preemie born 02Lb 5oz. This book was a great help at an uncertain time when I needed it most! I highly recommend this book, and buying online with Amazon.com!

    Too wordy and thick and being a sole caregiver for my newborn i really have no time to finish reading it. Good for people who wants details...
