Premature Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know about Your Premature Baby from Birth to Age One

A great help during a difficult time.

My sister bought me this book when I had my son (born at 26 weeks and weighing in at 1 lb 1oz) There is just so much information being thrown at you and so many emotions, that this book allowed me to take it in a little slower (acted as additional information to what the doctors told me) and also prepared me for other things that I could expect. I loved this book so much that when my cousin had a preemie I bought this book for her as well.

for when you take an 'older' preemie home

this book is, of course, slanted toward attachment parenting, and that's fine. it is a mindset most older preemies would really benefit from once they're home. HOWEVER, it certainly wasn't written with my micropreemie in mind. it's more for care when you're home and less about time in the hospital, and we spent 7 1/2 months in the hospital. it's hard to nearly impossible to sling-wear a baby on oxygen, i pumped for 9 months but he never really nursed, it just wasn't a book of practical information for me personally. *but* if you have an 'older' preemie and are leaning toward attachment parenting, it could be a worthwhile resource.
