Praise for the book
"I’ve read through the manuscript—wow! I found it both engaging and informative and I bet other parents will as well. I was also in tears at parts.”
​
"I read the whole thing and loved it. I think it's very informative and will be a powerful tool for parents with growth restricted babies. I really liked reading the parents' stories, too."
​
"I would honestly have found this book to be very useful after [my son's] birth; so much of it makes more sense now, in retrospect."
​
"I just read the book and it's great! I'd also love to give a thanks for including a story of infant loss. Too often these stories are not given a voice in hopes of not scaring others. It is very meaningful to have one in the book."
