Awwww, I can relate to the preemie thing...I was born two months early and spent approximately 2 additional months in hospital before I could go home. At the time I was born, I had been given up for adoption, birth mothers were not permitted to hold their babies after giving birth...and my parents were not in the picture yet. I have done some research on this (incubator babies) and apparently there is some scientific evidence that supports the notion that infants that are not held/cuddled/had human touch in the first couple of months can show signs of detatchment disorder. I heard something just the other day, in fact, about this incredibly, innovative "sleeve" a mom developed as a direct result of her precious baby being born early and the emotional pain it caused her to not be able to hold her child...and also out of her concern for her child not being able to bond right away ... neonatal ergonomically designed. I believe it is called The Zaky
