I just opened an account with ma.gnolia.com, a social bookmarking site and started a group to share my bookmarks about premature babies. As a computer teacher and parent of a boy born 6 weeks early I quickly realized information about the coping and the care of a preemie is hard to find in both the Web or bookstores. When I finally ordered and received "The Premature Baby Book" by Dr. Sears in Islamabad my baby was already two months old, and I was already recovering from my C-section as well as the preemie baby blues. Or at least coping better — because I still live in fear of SIDS, late development, learning disabilities, and other issues that will follow preemies until their adolescence. So I hope by sharing the sites that I found useful others will also share what they know or even experienced.
