Newborn Care (NICU)

What is Neonatal ICU Care?

Neonatology is a specialized subspecialty of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of newborn infants, especially the ill or premature newborn infant. It is a hospital-based specialty and is usually practiced in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Aakash Soni, who holds a Fellowship in Neonatology and has served as a senior physician at J.K. Lone Hospital, Pushpadeep Childcare offers specialized outpatient post-NICU follow-ups and primary triage for critical neonates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries from parents regarding Newborn Care (NICU)

Neonatal jaundice is common in newborns and refers to the yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by high bilirubin levels. While mild jaundice resolves on its own, high levels require phototherapy to prevent neurological complications.

Keep your baby wrapped in clean, dry clothing, cover the head and feet, and practice Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) where the baby has skin-to-skin contact with the mother. Keep the room warm and draft-free.

Usually, the first follow-up is recommended within 48 to 72 hours of NICU discharge to monitor weight gain, feeding patterns, and vital signs.
