THREE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE BORN PREMATURE. I TOOK CARE OF THEM WHEN THEIR PARENTS HAD TO BE AWAY FOR WORK AND CLASSES. I TAUGHT ONE TO SUCK THE BOTTLE BECAUSE HE WAS SO PREMATURE AT 27 WEEKS THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SUCK. ALL THREE WERE MONITORED IN CASE THEY STOPPED BREATHING , WHICH THEY DID A FEW TIMES. ONE IS A SLOW LEARNER AND HAS TO TAKE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES. WORKING WITH HER WAS A SLOW PROCESS AND REQUIRED A LOT OF PATIENCE.
