Features: A healthy, cute, and flawless baby is the heart's expectation of expectant fathers and mothers. When the little baby arrives early as a premature infant, or due to poor postnatal conditions and health issues, is admitted to the neonatal ward or even the intensive care unit, the hearts of parents are often filled with anxiety, reluctance, fear, and confusion. Although medical staff strive to explain the condition and comfort the parents, the uneasy parents often deepen their anxiety because they cannot truly understand the situation. The purpose of writing this book is to help parents and the general public understand newborns, especially premature infants, through simple and easy-to-understand cases and text. It also provides key points and information for home care and long-term follow-up of premature infants, hoping to achieve the goal of "dispelling doubts and providing correct knowledge." Additionally, the author has also tried to collect the latest knowledge and concepts, hoping that medical staff who read this book will also benefit from it.
