Rezensionen
"The audience is all healthcare providers involved in the care of these infants: midwives; registered nurses in labor/delivery and postpartum; community-based nurses; and pediatric nurses in clinics and the NICU. ... The best aspect of the book is its readability and the effort the authors make to engage readers by using the first person from an infant perspective. This technique is used to highlight the unique aspects of this population and delineate how they differ from preterm term and term infants." (Ellyn E Cavanagh,Doody's Book Reviews, August 09, 2019)
