Depending on the individual characteristics of the baby, the doctor may recommend additional tests. The newborn check-up is an important procedure that helps identify potential issues and start treatment at the earliest age. Therefore, it is crucial not to miss this examination and to follow the doctor's recommendations.

An online consultation with a neonatologist is a remote interaction with a doctor via the internet, during which you can receive qualified advice on the health of a newborn baby. Such a consultation can be useful in the following cases:

1. Assistance is needed in choosing a maternity hospital for delivery. A neonatologist can provide recommendations on selecting the best maternity hospital that has all the necessary conditions for childbirth and newborn care.

2. There are questions about newborn care. A neonatologist can offer advice on feeding, bathing, umbilical cord care, and other aspects of baby care.

3. Information is needed about potential health issues of the baby. A neonatologist can provide consultation on possible diseases and their prevention, as well as inform about signs of illnesses that should be noted.

4. Assistance is needed in choosing medications. A neonatologist can recommend safe and effective medications for treating the baby.

5. There are questions about the child's development. A neonatologist can offer advice on stimulating the child's development and answer questions about their physical and mental growth.

For conducting an online consultation, a neonatologist may use various communication methods such as video calls, messaging, or email. It is important to prepare for the consultation in advance by preparing a list of questions and having all necessary documents and test results on hand.

An online consultation with a neonatologist can be beneficial for parents who cannot visit a doctor in person, for example, due to being busy or being in another city. However, if the child has serious issues, it is necessary to see a doctor in person for a more detailed examination and treatment.

A neonatologist will monitor the physical and mental development of the child during the first 6 months of life, as well as conduct preventive examinations and consultations.

In the first days after birth, the neonatologist will examine the newborn and assess their overall condition, weight, height, head circumference, and other indicators. The doctor will also check for congenital diseases based on necessary tests.

During the first month of life, the neonatologist will conduct several examinations to monitor the child's development and identify potential issues. They may also provide recommendations on feeding, child care, and disease prevention.

The neonatologist will examine the child at 2 months of age to assess their physical development and administer necessary vaccinations. Subsequently, the doctor may conduct monthly check-ups to monitor the child's development and identify any potential problems.

The neonatologist will accompany the child during the first 6 months of life, providing assistance and consultations on feeding, child care, disease prevention, and developmental stimulation. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe treatment or refer the child for additional examinations.

The Newborn Medical Support Package includes:
- Regular examinations by neonatologists and specialized medical professionals

A neonatologist will continue to monitor the child throughout the first year of life, overseeing their physical and mental development. They will conduct monthly check-ups and consultations, assess the child's physical indicators, monitor their nutrition, and provide advice on care.

During this period, the neonatologist may also conduct additional examinations to identify any potential diseases or developmental deviations. They may prescribe treatment or refer the child to other specialists if necessary.

The neonatologist can also assist parents in preparing for the transition to solid foods and the introduction of new products into the child's diet. They can offer recommendations on choosing the right nutrition for the child and monitor their eating behavior.

The neonatologist can provide all necessary recommendations for further observation by a pediatrician.

It is important to understand that the support from a neonatologist does not end after the first year of life.

Therefore, it is important to maintain a relationship with the neonatologist and reach out to them when needed.

The treatment of newborn jaundice depends on its cause and severity. In most cases, jaundice resolves on its own and does not require special treatment. However, if the bilirubin level in the blood is too high, the following procedures may be prescribed:

1. Phototherapy - This is a treatment method where the newborn is placed under a special lamp that emits blue light. This helps break down excess bilirubin in the blood and allows it to be excreted from the body through urine and stool.

2. Exchange transfusion - This is a procedure where the newborn's blood is replaced with donor blood. It may be prescribed in severe cases of jaundice when the bilirubin level is very high and could lead to serious complications.

3. Treatment of the underlying condition - If jaundice is caused by another condition, it is necessary to treat that condition. For example, if jaundice is caused by an infection, antibiotic therapy will be prescribed.

Newborn jaundice does not require a special diet or restriction of breast milk intake. On the contrary, breast milk is the best nutrition for the newborn and helps them recover from jaundice more quickly.

If a newborn shows symptoms of jaundice, it is important to consult a pediatrician to assess its severity and prescribe the necessary treatment. It is also important to monitor the bilirubin level in the blood and regularly visit the pediatrician to check the child's condition.

Establishing a breastfeeding routine can sometimes be challenging, but it is very important. Our neonatologists will provide you with a consultation where you will learn about:

- How to properly latch the baby
- Breastfeeding twins
- What to do if the baby refuses to breastfeed
- Low milk supply, cracked nipples - how to help
- How to stop lactation, transitioning to breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding and introducing solid foods

Here are some tips that may help you successfully breastfeed your baby:

1. Start breastfeeding immediately after birth. The first colostrum produced in the days following birth is very important for the baby's health and development.

2. Proper latching. Proper latching is a key factor for successful breastfeeding. The baby should latch onto not just the nipple but also a large part of the nipple and areola (the dark area around the nipple). The baby's chin should be pressed against the mother's breast.

3. Feed on demand. The baby should be fed on demand, not on a schedule. This will help them receive enough milk and develop a proper feeding routine.

4. Pay attention to positioning. The baby should be comfortably positioned during feeding. The mother needs to maintain a proper posture to avoid fatigue and discomfort.

5. Eat a balanced diet. A healthy diet for the mother is very important for successful breastfeeding. Eat a varied and balanced diet and consume enough fluids.

6. Don't forget to rest. The mother needs to rest and get enough sleep to have the energy to feed the baby.

7. Use additional aids if necessary. If you encounter difficulties with breastfeeding, you can use additional aids such as a breast pump or nipple shields.

It's important to remember that every mother and baby is unique, so you shouldn't compare your experience with others. If you have difficulties or questions, always consult our neonatologist. Remember that breastfeeding is not only about feeding the baby but also a special bond between the mother and the baby.
