Everything You Need to Know about the Childbirth, Treatment, and Parenting of Premature Infants
by Frank P. Manginello, M.D., and Theresa Foy di Geronimo, M.Ed.
Published by John Wiley & Sons Inc.
Expanded and updated from its original edition, "Your Premature Baby" provides detailed information regarding the care and development of a premature infant. With the survival rate of preemies increasing to better than 95 percent in recent years, parents who understand the practical and medical issues of their tiny infants will greatly reduce their emotional stress and be able to more fully understand the challenges ahead of them.
Authors Frank Manginello, a director of neonatology at a New Jersey hospital, and freelance parenting writer Theresa DiGeronimo provide a comprehensive guide for parents of preemies. Including personal accounts from other parents, and up-to-date reports on current equipment, procedures and medication, "Your Premature Baby" supplies essential information.
Includes two appendices.
