About this title

From the Publisher:

While each family’s journey is unique, all parents of premature babies encounter many of the same hopes, fears, joys, sorrows, struggles, and triumphs. In addition to the authoritative, in-depth text written by the authors, readers will appreciate the extensive collection of stories and testimonials from parents who share their emotional journeys. No other book will so thoroughly and sensitively guide parents along the path of parenting a premature baby and child.
