Find Your Confidence as the Parent of a Premature Baby For parents with babies who must spend time in the NICU, it can feel overwhelming. It can be especially hard for parents of micro preemies – babies born at less than 28 weeks. When author Amy Marchand Collins’ twins were born at just 24 weeks, she described the experience as feeling like she was “taken out on a boat, miles offshore, and pushed off to learn how to swim.” Today she is the swim instructor she needed for parents of preemies.
