Spotlight on PreemieCare

The Milestone Guidelines for Premature Babies brochure, developed by the Preemie Coalition, contains guidelines for parents to convert term-baby milestones into premature-baby milestones. It also provides questions for parents to discuss with their children's trusted healthcare provider to foster open communication.

MOST/PreemieCare is a contributing member of the Preemie Coalition and participated in the development of this brochure along with the American Academy of Pediatrics, March of Dimes, National Association of Neonatal Nurses and the other organizations.

Great Resource for Information!

The MCH (Maternal Child Health) Library is a virtual guide to MCH information. It offers a combination of MCH information compiled by library staff and pathways to the best MCH information available on other websites, from organizations, and in libraries. Check out the A-Z Resources and Services list that includes links to resources and a community services locator.

What Are You Doing Online? Tell Us!

As part of our annual board meeting we are asking families of multiples about the technology tools they use. We are hoping to collect data that will help us assess future projects. The survey is available until 2/25/09, and we hope you will take a few minutes to participate.
