Neonatal Nursing
Neonatal Nursing
Neonatal nursing specializes in caring for new-borns dealing with issues like prematurity, birth defects, infections, and surgical problems. While the neonatal period officially spans the first month of life, many infants face health challenges for months. Neonatal nurses not only address immediate post-delivery concerns but also care for babies with long-term complications from prematurity or illness. They work closely with parents, aiding in childcare tasks such as holding, bathing, and feeding. Neonatal nurses also serve as a vital connection between parents and specialized healthcare teams attending to the unique needs of the infants.
