Every year in the United States alone, more than 200,000 babies are born smaller than they should be. Their parents are left adrift amid multiple tests and complex medical interventions for their tiny baby. Written by a board-certified Neonatologist for parents of growth-restricted babies, Tiny But Mighty Baby: A Parents’ Guide to Navigating Your Child’s Diagnosis of Intrauterine Growth Restriction ushers parents through the complex medical terminology, technology, and loss of normalcy associated with a diagnosis of growth restriction. Tiny But Mighty Baby guides parents through how growth restriction is diagnosed and what to expect from their growth-restricted baby after delivery and throughout life. Intimate stories of parents’ experiences of growth restriction complement each medically focused chapter and include stories of miscarriage, infant loss, and childhood development. Tiny But Mighty Baby encompasses the latest research about growth restriction to empower parents along their journey to help their child live the healthiest life possible.
