Parent Guidance & Education

Prematurity
Babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy may need extra support because their organs, especially the lungs, are still developing. Our NICU team provides specialized care to help premature babies grow stronger and reach important health milestones safely.
Neonatal Jaundice
Jaundice happens when a newborn's skin and eyes appear yellow due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. It's common in newborns and usually treatable — our team uses phototherapy, and in more severe cases, exchange transfusion, to bring bilirubin levels safely back to normal.
Respiratory Distress
Some newborns, especially those born early, have difficulty breathing on their own because their lungs aren't fully developed. Our NICU provides ventilator support and close monitoring to help babies breathe safely while their lungs mature.
Low Birth Weight
Babies born smaller than expected may need extra monitoring and support with feeding, temperature regulation, and growth. Our team closely tracks these babies to ensure they gain weight and develop as they should.
