"This second edition of the book "Premature Babies" is an essential reading book for parents of premature babies."
Peter AM Auld, MD, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York
"The book "Preemies" is an extraordinary book. The authors of the book, who are mothers and a doctor, have written a comprehensive guide that expresses the feelings and concerns of parents in an easy-to-read, question-and-answer format... The book adopts an affirming and calming tone when dealing with the disappointments, sadness, joy, and roller coaster ride that many parents of premature babies experience. I cannot think of a topic that the book did not address. This book is up-to-date and is a comprehensive counseling tool that is suitable for both parents and medical professionals. I learned a lot from the book and I highly recommend it."
Saroj Saigal, MD, Professor Emerita, Department of Pediatrics, Director, Neonatal Follow-up Clinic, McMaster University, Ontario
