A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a hospital intensive care unit that specialises in looking after sick and critical newborn babies. NICUs have specialist doctors, nurses and equipment to care for sick babies..

Children are not just small adults. They do not always say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical questions or be patient and helpful while in the hospital. If your paediatrician suggests that your child requires hospital admission, you can be assured that your child will receive the high-quality care which is absolutely necessary for your child’s well being.

Various Paediatric illnesses may aggravate or require further assessment and monitoring in hospital. Non critical Children are admitted to paediatric wards to closely monitor their condition, treat the illness and if need be, shift to emergency care units.

For the most part, you should continue to feed them when they want more and to avoid feeding when they express less interest.

First of all, it’s necessary to understand there are some things you can’t control about your baby’s sleeping habits. It’s normal for babies to wake in the night because they need to eat every few hours to sustain their life. As they gain weight, he or she will naturally go longer between feedings. It’s quite common for babies to wake for feeding for the first three to six months. Also, it’s important to note that when babies sleep at night for five hours, it is considered to be sleeping through the night. There are some things you can do that will encourage better sleep at night. For instance, you can play more active games throughout the day and engage in quieter activities near bedtime. You should also establish and evening routine that helps them wind-down and signals sleep at the end of the day. In many cases, it helps to bathe your child to calm them down before bedtime, and it may also help to rock them, read, play quiet music, and feed him or her shortly before bed.

Vaccines are products that are usually given in childhood to protect against serious, often deadly diseases. By stimulating your body’s natural defenses, they prepare your body to fight the disease faster and more effectively.

Vaccines help your immune system fight infections more efficiently by sparking your immune response to specific diseases. Then, if the virus or bacteria ever invades your body in the future, your immune system will already know how to fight it

Vaccines are very safe. Your child is far more likely to be hurt by a vaccine-preventable disease than by a vaccine. All vaccines go through rigorous safety testing, including clinical trials, before they are approved for the public.
