It is a hospital-based specialty and is usually practiced in neonatal intensive care units. A neonatologist is a medical professional who specialises in caring for newborn babies, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely. They may also provide antenatal consultation for women with certain risk factors, such as multiple births.
