Nicu Preemie Baby Book
This book contained the answers to questions I had while my baby was in the NICU. As a second-time parent, I was especially concerned with attachment issues with my baby that might arise from being hospitalized. This book, written by the attachment-parent gurus helped to alieviate some of my fears as well as give tips for encouraging attachment.
After reading many reviews, I finally ordered 3 books about premature babies. This book was definetly the BEST. I read through it daily and it answered many questions. I especially recommend it if your baby had no problems and was only in the incubator to grow up.
My beautiful first grandson was born on Thanksgiving Day 2006, 1 day prior to being in the womb for 27 weeks, he weighted 2lbs 2ounces. My daughter-in-law’s water broke when she was pregnant for only 25 weeks and she had be in the hospital, laying flat on her back for 2 1/2 weeks. The doctors had us prepared for the worst, however, my grandson who is now 8 weeks old is doing great and so far no major problems. He is still in the hospital but we expect that he will be home soon. The Premature Baby Book was great, I bought a copy for my daughter-in-law at a well known bookstore, but was unable to find a copy for me so I went on line and found it at AMAZON. This book answered all of the questions that we had while traveling this journey of having a premature infant in your life from infections to how to deal with nurses you are not sure that they have your childs best interest when taking care of them along with what to expect of your baby. I highly recommend the book because it sure gave us alot of peace. Since my children were full term babies, I am learning so much and having the pleasure of seeing our precious preemie thrive outside the womb and is doing so well. We are blessed that he is in a great hospital with wonderful staff and the book serves as a great guide and is very informative. If you or anyone you know has a premature baby, by all means give them this book, you will give them a peace of mind to know that almost all of their questions are answered in this book.

Help answer the question about baby book
What world events can I write in my one year old daughter's baby book other than the war in Iraq?I have been working in my daughter's baby book since she just turned one a few days ago. And the question is what important world events were taking place when I was born and I want to write more than the obvious war in Iraq. What positive events took place or are still taking place in the US and around the world?

SO AHSOME BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!
I had twins at 30 weeks. I can tell you the policies at my hospital…. At first they will not let you nurse, but will ask that you pump. They will feed your baby via a gavage tube, on a continuous feed (pumped through an IV-like machine) until sometime between 32-34 weeks, when the sucking reflex kicks in. The bottle will be introduced first, so the nurse can watch the monitors and make sure the baby isn't having apnic spells or bradycardia. Around this time they will start doing more feeding on-demand, usually with 10-20 ml in a bottle, followed by the rest of the meal in a gavage tube. They have predetermined amounts that they will give a baby at each feed, based on weight and age and tolerance. If the baby tolerates the feeds, they will gradually up the amount fed to the baby, and increase the amt given by bottle. Usually within a few days of the bottles being started, if all goes well, they will let you attempt nursing once a shift (so twice a day). The sucking required on the breast is entirely different than on a bottle, so it'll take some getting used to. If the baby isn't tolerating feeds well, this will take more time. They will then gradually increase the number of times you can nurse, until you are allowed to nurse each feed. If you aren't there at feed time, they will use the bottle. Also, the NICU had a dedicated LC with knowledge geared towards preemies (it's not the same as nursing a full-termer), so she helped out a lot. Ask if your NICU has a dedicated LC with preemie experience.
My hospital lent out a hospital-grade electric double pump while my kids were in the NICU, and it made life much easier. After both kids were discharged, I used the Ameda Purely Yours, which worked great and I thought was quieter than the Medela Pump-In-Style. You'll most likely still have to pump after the baby is discharged (depending on age anyways) because you'll have to fortify the milk with extra calories, and probably add in a multi-vitamin with iron once a day. A good pump is essential.
Of my twins, one had a hard time adapting to the breast, and the other did great on his first try. And of course the one that did really well on the breast actually had serious trouble tolerating food due to reflux, so we didn't start breastfeeding until closer to 37 weeks.
Hope this info helps!
