" We were lent this book by the Special Care Baby Unit when our son was born at 27 weeks. As first time parents suffering from shock at the early arrival of our precious son. this book answered all our questions. It helped us realise that many parents go through the same agonies and worries. and go on to bring their babies home eventually-however long the wait. We brought our son home last week after he'd spent two months in hospital " Mrs K R Allen. Croydon
"My daughter was born at 25 weeks and I found this book to be an invaluable source of clear and useful information. It helped me understand what the doctors were telling me and enabled me to discuss with the nurses caring for my daughter issues arising from her infections and the treatment of them. The section 'How We Can Help' gave me confidence to interact with my daughter even when she was very poorly. The book is written sensitively and clearly. It is beautifully printed. has some wonderful photographs and is one of the books which our SCBU recommended to me. I would highly recommend this book to any parent or grandparent of a premature baby" Mrs T Bennett. London
