Parenting Your Premature Baby and Child: The Emotional
Journey
by Deborah L. Davis and Mara Tesler Stein.
"The premature birth of your child tosses you and your family
into a whirlwind of emotions, where it seems you will never touch
down. Davis and Stein provide an exemplary map to the roller coaster
ride you have embarked upon - from the first shock of the news and
sight of your newborn child to the roller coaster ride in the NICU
and on to the peaks and valleys of your time at home. Topics include
the emotional implications of early delivery, physical recovery, the
NICU experience, settling in at home, development and growth, caregiver
challenges, special needs, moving on, subsequent pregnancies and much
more. The authors' thoughtful analysis and advice are backed by heart-felt
quotes from experienced parents in the Preemie
Child and Preemie-L support groups, which will surely touch your
heart. I don't think there is one aspect of the emotional journey
of preemie parenting that they have left untouched - if you can feel
it, it is here! Highly recommended for anyone who loves a preemie."
