  Bright from the Start by Jill Stamm

  I love, love, love this book.  It's not specifically for preemies but it's written by a neuroscientist whose daughter was born 4 months premature.  That inspired her to do all this research and write this book; the objective of the book is not like most parenting books where most of the info. is "what your baby should be doing when."  This book is more about what parents can do at each stage of their baby's development to help them reach their highest potential.  It talks a lot about the brain and an infant's cognitive and emotional development.  It gave me a lot of solid info that I found really helpful as opposed to most other books I saw which were just regurgitation of common sense stuff you can find on the internet.  

  Also, the author uses examples from her daughter's childhood to discuss a lot of the material.  So in a way, it does incorporate a lot of concerns preemie moms have.
