A neonatologist cares for newborns who need special medical attention, such as premature babies or those with a complication at birth. They're mainly involved in the hospital, during or after delivery, not through appointments parents schedule directly.

A neonatologist is a pediatrician with additional training in caring for newborns, especially those born early or with a condition that needs specialized attention.
They work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and in the delivery room when a baby is expected to need immediate medical support.
If your pregnancy has risk factors, your obstetrician can arrange in advance for a neonatologist to be present at delivery — useful to plan if you're delivering away from home.
If your baby is born needing special care, the neonatologist explains their condition and treatment plan, and keeps you informed throughout their stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The team guides you on how to be involved during this process, including visiting hours and skin-to-skin contact when possible.
Has your obstetrician already flagged risk factors in your pregnancy? Message us on WhatsApp to coordinate.
If your pregnancy is high-risk, you can ask your obstetrician in advance about neonatologist availability at Hospital CMQ for your delivery.
