Critics Review
“Having an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is extremely stressful, and parents need all the help they can get. Here is that support, written in a factual yet personable voice by NICU practitioners…the stories of parents throughout will go miles in providing hope and understanding. VERDICT Over 380,000 babies are born prematurely each year. This is an important acquisition for all collections.” —Library Journal, starred review
“It’s hard to imagine a better guide for parents of premature babies than this title from the American Academy of Pediatrics.” —Booklist
