Premature Baby Care in Bhubaneswar

Having a baby arrive early can be one of the most frightening experiences for any parent. Everything feels uncertain, and it’s natural to worry about how tiny and fragile your baby seems. The reassuring truth is that with the right care, most premature babies go on to grow and thrive.

At Rahat Hospital in Bhubaneswar, our neonatal team is here for exactly this. We provide expert, round-the-clock care for premature and low birth weight babies, supporting them through their most delicate early days — while making sure you never feel alone through the journey.

Comprehensive Care for Premature and Low Birth Weight Babies

Not every feeding difficulty has the same cause. Before offering advice, our team carries out a proper assessment. The same careful approach followed across all maternity care at Rahat Hospital to understand exactly what your baby and body need.

Breathing Support

 A baby’s lungs are among the last organs to fully develop, so premature babies often need help breathing. We provide oxygen support and advanced respiratory care suited to your baby’s needs.

Temperature Regulation

Tiny babies lose heat quickly. We keep your baby warm and stable in specially designed incubators that recreate a safe, controlled environment.

Feeding and Nutrition

Premature babies may be too small to feed on their own at first. We support their nutrition through carefully planned feeding, helping them gain weight and grow stronger.

Infection Prevention

With immature immune systems, premature babies are more prone to infection. Our NICU follows strict protocols to keep your baby protected.

Jaundice Management

Newborn jaundice is common in premature babies. We monitor and treat it promptly to keep your baby comfortable and safe.

Growth and Development Monitoring

We track your baby’s weight, feeding, and milestones closely, adjusting their care as they grow and get ready to go home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is deemed 'premature birth'?
A premature baby is one who is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the sooner a baby reaches the world the more assistance that they require during their early days.
Q.2 If my baby is premature, will he be healthy in the long-term?
A large number of premature infants are well and are perfectly healthy even with early proper care. Your baby’s growth and development is closely monitored and supported throughout.
Q3: What is my baby's need for NICU care?
The NICU provides your baby with the warmth, breathing support, feeding assistance and close monitoring necessary until he or she’s ready to take it on his or her own. The length of time spent at the hospital varies from baby to baby.
Q4: May I hold and bond with my preemie?
Yes, and we welcome it. Kangaroo Mother Care will help you to bond with your baby and to support him/her in getting well; will give your baby a sense of security by being in close contact with his/her mother.
Q5: How are babies fed when they are born early, prematurely?
Some babies may need feeding help and slowly move to breastfeeding, depending on the time they are born. Our team takes your baby through this at their own speed.
