For parents of the nearly 300,000 babies born prematurely each year, The Preemie Parents' Companion is full of necessary information about where their baby stays in the hospital, who cares for him, and what complication he may face. This book also helps parents learn how to hold their preemie, read his body language, and participate in his hospital care. Because preemies' special needs don't end with a hospital discharge, Madden helps parents confidently care for their preemie at home and teaches them how to ensure his continued development through the first essential years.
