Neonatology

To take care of such young newborn infants, a subspecialty of pediatrics has evolved known as Neonatology that deals with the medical care of infants less than four weeks of age, especially those that are born premature, of low birth weight, with birth asphyxia, birth defects or are ill and need hospitalization. Special neonatal intensive care units called NICUs are available in most standard hospitals for such babies.
