About Newborn Care

Newborn care by a neonatologist is a specialized medical service focused on the health and well-being of infants from birth through the first 28 days of life. This comprehensive care is crucial for all newborns, especially those born prematurely, with low birth weight, or with medical complications. A neonatologist, a pediatrician with advanced training in neonatal medicine, provides expert assessment, monitoring, and treatment. The procedure includes initial stabilization, routine screenings for conditions like jaundice and congenital heart defects, nutritional support, infection management, and parental education. This proactive and expert care is essential for ensuring a healthy start, promoting optimal development, and addressing any critical health issues during this vulnerable period.
