FAQs

Which babies need NICU care?

Premature babies (those born before 37 weeks of pregnancy), newborns with low birthweights (less than 5.5 pounds), and infants with conditions requiring specialized care account for the majority of infants admitted to the NICU. Due to their propensity for being born sooner and smaller than newborns of a single birth, twins, triplets, and other multiples are frequently admitted to the NICU. The NICU also provides treatment for infants who have medical disorders, including heart issues, infections, or birth deformities.

Although there are several reasons why babies are born prematurely, in 50% of instances there is no known reason. Premature delivery can occasionally be brought on by the body’s reaction to certain illnesses, such as those affecting the fetal membranes and amniotic fluid. In some instances, early induction results in prematurity because of maternal or fetal health issues.
