Irish Premature Babies has produced two information booklets for parents of premature babies.
The purpose of the booklets, 'Rights and Entitlements for Families of Premature Babies' and 'Weaning Your Premature Baby. A Simple Guide For Parents' are to provide parents with all the necessary information relating to their lives as parents of premature babies.
'Rights and Entitlements for Families of Premature Babies' covers relevant areas such as maternity and paternity leave, income tax, health expenses, benefit entitlements as well as other core topics. 'Weaning Your Premature Baby. A Simple Guide For Parents', focuses on best practice to support parents through the weaning stage of their baby's development.
Irish Premature Babies, which is a charity solely run by volunteers, offers support and education to parents of premature babies.
The charity also assists with providing home help, workshops for parents, as well as practical information to parents.
