Frequently Asked Questions

Neonatologist is basically a child doctor but more focused on newborn babies. They are specially for those who are too weak, born before time, or having health problem right after birth. They deal with things like baby not breathing well, severe jaundice, infection, or very low weight. Most of them work in NICU where babies are kept under machines and close watch.

Mostly they first do MBBS then post-graduation in Pediatrics (MD or DCH) and then some extra training in Neonatology. But honestly, more than only degree, experience in handling critical cases in NICU matters a lot, because newborn babies condition can change in minutes.

If baby is born too early, or very underweight, or has breathing trouble, or baby is yellow even after few days (jaundice not going), or not feeding properly, or keeps crying abnormal, parents should go to neonatologist without delay. In Rajkot many hospitals have NICU so immediate care is possible.

They look after premature and weak babies, give ventilator if baby not breathing, treat jaundice, infections, feeding issues, seizures, and also growth checkups later on. Some neonatologists keep follow up clinics for premature babies, to make sure they are developing properly and gaining weight.

The fee depends on hospital and doctor. Normally between ₹400 to ₹2000 for one visit, sometimes little less in small setups. In corporate hospitals or if emergency, charges may go higher because of NICU cost also.

You should take all medical papers, discharge summary from delivery hospital, vaccination card, any test reports like bilirubin levels, and note down baby’s feeding and urine-stool pattern. This makes doctor understand better.
