neonatal health

Neonatal health refers to the well-being of newborns, typically from birth to 28 days old. This period is critical because infants are adjusting to life outside the womb and are vulnerable to health challenges. Key aspects of neonatal health include monitoring growth, ensuring proper feeding, preventing infections, and addressing any birth complications. Effective neonatal care can significantly reduce the risk of infant mortality and long-term health issues. Parents and healthcare providers work together to create a safe environment that supports the baby's development and helps them thrive during this essential time.
