to learn more about preemie problems

 
 

If you are new to parenting a preemie, you will find practical help, support, and useful information at www.prematurity.org, a site with an active discussion forum put up by parents of premature babies who have already experienced what you are going through and can give you first- hand advice.

Once you have dealt with your preemie's  immediate emergencies and can begin to reflect about your and your child's situation, go to  http://mc2.vicnet.net.au/home/narf/index.html
This is the site of NaRF which stands for Neonatology and the Rights of Families.  Helen Harrison moderates the Forum there and recommended it to me.  Its introduction states:

The NaRF dual-purpose forum / mailing list was established because too often the voices of families raising impaired NICU survivors and/or parents critical of current practices in neonatal care, are discouraged, drowned out, and suppressed.

We would like to ensure that when discussions concerning the hardships of life with a disabled child and/or the ethics of neonatology take place, they do so in an environment which allows parents and professionals enough compassion, empathy and support to express themselves with honesty. We also hope that by allowing professionals to participate in the discussion list, they will better understand the human cost of raising a child who will never live independently.
