Why this book?
Born strong is 50% our personal journey of having 2 premature kids, and 50% the science behind premature births. From what happens as a baby matures, to the things that happen in the hospital. This is the ultimate guide to parents that are expecting a premature child, or had one (or multiple!).
This is the book I wanted to write, but also the one I wish I wouldn’t have had to. How do those two thoughts coexist?
Because when my second premature baby was born, I realized my family's experience had to become something purposeful. The NICU strips away your control, replacing the joyful beginning you expected with alarms, wires and statistics.
I wrote Born Strong to give you your power back. Combining my deeply personal journey as a mother with my professional expertise as a neuroscientist, this book translates the intimidating medical world into accessible, neuroprotective science. It is an honest companion for the darkest hours, written to validate your pain and prove that even in the most fragile beginnings, incredible strength can be born.
