Post Neonatal ICU Care
Post Neonatal ICU Care – Specialised Support for Babies After the NICU
Coming home after a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a milestone filled with
relief, but it can also feel overwhelming. Our post‑NICU telehealth service provides expert,
compassionate follow‑up care to help your baby thrive after a complex start.
How Our Team Supports NICU Graduates and Their Families
We understand that babies who have spent time in the NICU have unique medical and
developmental needs. Our paediatricians work closely with you to bridge the gap between
hospital discharge and ongoing community care. We focus on:
- Monitoring growth using corrected age guidelines
- Assessing feeding progress, especially for babies with oral aversion or gavage feeding history
- Tracking neurodevelopmental milestones to identify early signs of delay
- Managing ongoing medical issues such as reflux, respiratory conditions, or anaemia
- Coordinating with physiotherapists, and early intervention services
What to Expect During a Post‑NICU Telehealth Visit
Each visit is tailored to your baby’s specific history. We review discharge summaries, discuss
any medications or equipment needs, and observe your baby’s movements, feeding, and
interactions via video. You will receive a clear plan for follow‑up, including when to seek
in‑person care and how to support your baby’s development at home.
