The first days and weeks of a child’s life are the most delicate and sensitive period for their health. At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” our neonatal care is dedicated to the youngest patients – newborns. We approach every baby and their family with utmost attention, providing safe, timely, and professional support from the very beginning.

Our team of neonatologists has experience in monitoring and following up on babies in the first months after birth, including premature infants, newborns with risk factors, or those with specific conditions requiring close observation. For parents, this means peace of mind, clarity, and confidence that the best care is being provided for their child.

What is neonatology?

Neonatology focuses on medical care for newborns – both healthy babies and those at higher risk due to prematurity, low birth weight, birth trauma, or congenital conditions. Specialists in this field closely monitor the baby’s adaptation to life outside the womb, breathing, feeding, reflex development, and the function of all organs.

At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” we offer precise monitoring and consultations during the first weeks and months, when even the smallest change can be significant.

When should you see a neonatologist?

A consultation with a neonatologist is recommended in the following cases:

• The newborn was born prematurely
• The baby has low or very high birth weight
• There were complications during pregnancy or delivery
• The mother had infections, diabetes, or other chronic conditions
• Monitoring is needed for jaundice
• The baby has feeding difficulties or inadequate weight gain
• There are suspicions of congenital anomalies or genetic conditions
• The baby shows breathing difficulties, unusual sounds, or cyanosis
• The pediatrician recommends additional monitoring by a neonatologist

What does the neonatologist treat and monitor?

The neonatologist at our center is responsible for ensuring that the baby’s adaptation is progressing normally and responding promptly to any deviation. Some of the conditions we address include:

• Prematurely born infants
• Physiological and pathological jaundice
• Respiratory or cardiac problems
• Feeding issues, vomiting, refusal of breastmilk or formula
• Infections in the early neonatal period
• Congenital malformations and syndromes
• Impaired thermoregulation
• Neonatal seizures or unusual movements
• Monitoring of weight and growth after discharge from the maternity ward

What to expect during a neonatology consultation?

The consultation begins with a discussion with the parents to collect details about the pregnancy, birth, early days after discharge, feeding, sleep, and the baby’s behavior. This is followed by a physical examination that includes:

• Assessment of weight, length, and head circumference
• Examination of skin, complexion, and muscle tone
• Evaluation of reflexes and newborn responses
• Examination of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and genitals
• Observation of movements, visual and auditory contact
• Referral for additional tests or imaging if needed

The consultation is conducted in a quiet, calm, and sterile environment, with maximum attention to the baby’s comfort and the parents’ peace of mind.
