Can anyone recommend web sites for describing the complications of a premature delivery?

Thank you,

Thank you both for the web sites. I was exactly was I was looking for as I will be taking care of a premie overnight during the summer.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Ohhh. Well, once they are home is way different from just after delivery.

Find out from mom if they have any health problems,like reflux or apnea. Find out if they are on any meds or have special equipment, like an apnea monitor.

Then you can research those specific things.

Good luck!
