Summary

"When your newborn is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), it can be frightening. Understanding the NICU will guide you through your baby's time in the NICU, helping you communicate with members of the NICU team, ask the right questions, and participate as a valuable partner in care. This volume also features inspirational stories from other parents' NICU experiences to bring you comfort and hope."--Page [4] of cover
