I was initially drawn to this book because of my personal experience with my micro-preemie twins. I enjoyed reading about Janvier's experience, especially considering her unique perspective as a pediatric doctor who had worked with premature babies prior to the early birth of her daughter. I wish I would have had this book when my girls were in the NICU, because it is so full of hope, and even contains practical advice at the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and University of Toronto Press for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Annie Janvier is uniquely positioned to write a book on the subject of premature infants. Not only is she a pediatrician specializing in neonatology, but she has also experienced the NICU as the parent of an extremely premature daughter. She can speak with authority from both perspectives. This book primarily documents the many ups and downs of her daughter Violette's first few months. She offers up recommendations for both the parents and the medical caregivers of these fragile patients, especially on the subject of communication. I was drawn to this book because of my own family's experience with an extreme preemie. We were so grateful for the excellent medical care she received and the prayer support of many people. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review Breathe, Baby, Breathe.
