Your premature baby may not look like the one in the baby milk adverts: in fact it's likely that he will temporarily look very different - sometimes disturbingly so, especially if he is very premature. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Having a premature baby is scarey. There's so much going on, and as in our case, so little time! This book is a real help. It answers so many questions and gives you so much information. All the topics are covered in an open, frank and easy-to-understand way. Everything is in plain English as well, which helps. We can't recommend it highly enough. As far as we're concerned, it should be compulsory reading for all parents of a prem baby! By the way, our baby was born at 30 weeks, and is now doing really well, so don't worry if you're in the same situation. It'll be OK, trust me!!!

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....

My daughter was born at 25weeks 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.

good for when you're in the hospital but not so much for when you're at home and settled in, don't really see it helping past a few months let alone up to 5!
