Help for Preemie Parents
by Elizabeth Parker
Each year about 480,000 births are premature, and for only half of these is there a known cause. What experts do know is that parents with a premature baby need a lot of support. A great source: The Premature Baby Book by William Sears, M.D., Robert Sears, M.D., James Sears, M.D., and Martha Sears, R.N. (Little Brown, 2004). This reassuring book covers navigating the neonatal intensive care unit, medical challenges, homecoming preparation, preemie growth, and much more.
