Reviews"The book is splended and will certainly fill a real need for mothers and fathers of prematures. I admire the scholarly approach--it's a great job!" --T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., Chief of the Child Development Unit at Harvard Medican School; author of Doctor & Child, Infants & Mothers, Toddlers & Parents, and On Becoming a Family "I am impressed...just the kind of thing that is so badly needed...strikes just the right note with the balance of information and the experiences of parents." --Martin P.M. Richards, Ph.D., psychologist, Child Care Development Group, University of Cambridge, England "Helen Harrison and Ann Kositsky have done a monumental job in producing this book, which so sentively integrates the facts and feelings accompanying premature birth." --from the Foreward by Roberta A. Ballard, M.D., Chief, Department of Pediatrics and Director, Newborn Services, Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center, San Francisco, California "While my daughter was in the nursery, I read and reread the medical sections pertaining to her condition. The information was a great help and a comfort to me. At last, a 'Doctor Spock' for parents of preamature babies!" --Jo Eckerly, mother of a premie "I learned a lot from reading The Premature Baby Book, especially about respitory distress syndrome (RDS) and about follow-up of premautres--information that still pertains to my three-year[-old prematurely born son." --Juliene Lipson, R.N., Ph.D. and mother of a premie "Reading the experiences of others helped me cope with the strict bed rest, the medications and disappointment I felt as missing the perfect pregnancy and birth I'd hoped for. It would have taken hours of discussion with my OB and a neonatologist to impart the wealth of detailed knowledge I gained from The Premature Baby Book ." --Alexandra Escher, mother of two premature babies, "The book is splended and will certainly fill a real need for mothers and fathers of prematures.
