Get comprehensive support for coping with a premature birth with our online resource library and database. For most parents, adjusting to a premature birth can come with a host of stresses and challenges. We have designed this library to demystify the terminology associated with premature diagnoses and to keep stress levels as low as possible. Learn about support care recommended after leaving the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or special care nursery, breathing support, and follow-up checkups. Our database provides an overview of early childhood intervention designed to treat or support all conditions associated with prematurity. You can also receive tips and resources for adapting your living arrangements, managing and adjusting with other children in the household, educating adults or other relatives who may come in contact with your child, as well as understand primary pediatric care. With our help, you do not have to feel alone when adjusting to the circumstances associated with preterm birth.
