Preemies, Second Edition is the only parents’ reference resource of its kind—delivering up-to-the-minute information on medical care in a warm, caring, and engaging voice.

Preemies, Second Edition covers topics related to premature birth, including:

-What are your risk factors for having a premature baby?
-Can you do something to delay early labor?
-What do doctors know about you baby’s outlook during her first minutes and days of life?
-How will your preemie’s progress be monitored?
-How do you cope with a long hospitalization?
-Are there special preparations for you baby’s homecoming?
-What kind of stimulation during the first year gives your baby the best chance?
