When my daughter was born at 27 weeks I bought about 8 books about Preemies! This is the ONLY one that I would recommend to other parents. It is easy find answers to specific questions and explains things very clearly. While there is no substitute for getting an explanation directly from your child's neonatologist, the book often gave me enough information to ask better questions and ask about things that may not have been addressed. I found this book to be an excellent resource even after my daughter left the NICU. That was a little over 2 years ago and I have a happy,healthy,beautiful, and very smart little girl! Get this book!
