My Sister Is A Preemie

For everyone involved, having an infant in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is full of many emotions overshadowed by anxiety. An admission to the NICU is not anticipated and therefore can be a very trying experience. Explaining the hospitalization of the baby to the other children in your home can be challenging. The baby's siblings may be too young to understand, fearful of hospitals, or even upset that you are spending more time at the hospital than at home. This short book can serve as a introduction to the NICU and foster more discussion with your other children or young relatives.
