| Publisher Description: The Premature Baby Book helps parents of premature babies become comfortable with their potentially bewildering new roles. Among the topics covered: - Getting to know the important people, and the cutting-edge equipment, in the neonatology infant care unit - Head-to-toe, system-by-system--a tour of a preemie's unique features and needs - Methods for dealing with the fears and feelings common to new parents of preemies - How parents can bond with their newborn even during the infant's extended stay at the hospital - Breastfeeding vs. bottle-feeding, and how to develop a healthy feeding pattern in the early days - Necessary preparations for bringing baby home - Common concerns and medical challenges during the first year - Like the Sears's bestselling The Baby Book, The Premature Baby Book focuses on the essential needs of babies--eating, sleeping, development, health, and comfort--and covers virtually every aspect of caring for the premature infant. - More than a million copies of the books in the Sears Parenting Library have been sold to date--and the books remain perennial bestsellers. The Premature Baby Book is the eleventh book in this popular series. - William Sears, M.D., has practiced as a pediatrician for more than 30 years. Martha Sears is a registered nurse, child-birth educator, and breastfeeding consultant. Drs. Robert and James Sears are their two oldest sons and are both board-certified pediatricians at the Sears Family Pediatric Practice in San Clemente, California. |
