The joy of birth often can become a struggle for survival for many multiples who are born prematurely. Premature babies can face several health challenges, chief among them the ability to breathe without assistance. To increase the well-being and survivability of these tiny children, many healthcare facilities have added neonatal intensive care units.
For parents of premature multiples, NICUs can be strange and technologically complex places where they must trust the care of their children to specially trained doctors and nurses. This special report provides valuable information and documentation to parents regarding their premature children's struggle to survive, the environment of the NICU and how they can continue their children's growth once they are able to leave the hospital for home.
Included are detailed articles covering several topics of parental concern. Do newborn babies experience pain? How much stimulation should tiny infants receive each day? Can emotions be calmed by gently rocking infants? What can be expected when a parent visits an NICU? What is apnea and how can it be monitored?
