[quote=Anonymous]Another thing, I'm one of the vocal posters saying stop saying tiny to preemies on this thread. I do not personally have a premature child. My dear friend is a nicu nurse, though, and she's shared the perspectives of her patients' parents and warned me when another good friend had a premature baby, never to use the word tiny, small, wee, etc. That it's a sensitive issue and the word triggers anxiety in many preemie moms. Now I have several friends who have had premature babies and let me tell you, it was crazy stressful for every one of them. One has a child in nicu STILL, nearly 3 months after his (8 week) early birth. He did not have IUGR, was actually a "big" preemie, but has necrotizing enterocolitis. People say the dumbest, dumbest shit to them, including "look how tiny." The one thing he's not (relatively) is tiny. So for goodness sake's people, listen up and have a heart. Just stop with the tiny comments already. [/quote]
