About this title

Synopsis

The Premature Baby Book is the result of seven years of intense research into medical literature, and of interview with neonatologists, intensive care nurses, social workers, therapists and hundreds of parents of prematures. From her research and personal experience, Helen Harrison knows exactly what parents want and need to know to deal with the emotional, medical, and practical issues facing them after the birth of a premature baby.

Proceeds from the sale of The Premature Baby Book will be donated to organizations that help premature babies and their families.

Ann Kositsky, R.N., also of Berkeley, has worked, for over ten years as a neonatal intensive care nurse.
