Caring for newborns, especially those requiring specialised medical attention, is a top priority at Clover Hospital and Fertility Clinic. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is dedicated to providing the highest level of care for premature or critically ill infants.
The NICU is a specialised department of paediatrics that provides critical care and treatment for newborns who are born prematurely or have serious medical conditions. At Clover Hospital and Fertility Clinic, our NICU is equipped with advanced monitoring systems and specialised medical devices to ensure the health and well-being of these infants. Here, a highly trained team of neonatologists, nurses, and healthcare professionals provides comprehensive, around-the-clock care.
In the NICU, babies are continuously monitored for vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels. This allows the medical team to identify and address any issues early on, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your baby.
Babies born before 37 weeks may require additional medical care to support their development.
Infants with low birth weight often face challenges that need specialised care.
Some newborns have medical conditions that require immediate and intensive care in the NICU.
Yes, at Clover Hospital and Fertility Clinic, we encourage parental contact in the NICU. As the baby’s condition stabilises, parents may be able to hold and cuddle their baby more frequently. You can engage in skin-to-skin contact, known as kangaroo care, which promotes emotional bonding and helps regulate the baby’s temperature and vital signs.
Parents can hold their baby against their bare chest, which helps to regulate the baby’s temperature and promote bonding.
Each NICU has specific visitation rules to ensure the safety and well-being of the babies. Communicate with the NICU staff to understand the visiting hours and policies.
Breastfeeding is often encouraged, if possible. Our NICU provides support and private areas for breastfeeding. Breast milk offers vital nutrients and immune benefits, which are especially important in the NICU setting.
The NICU staff is available to guide and support you in breastfeeding your baby. They offer advice on schedules, techniques, and any special considerations for your baby’s condition.
Expressing breast milk is highly encouraged. The NICU staff will support you in establishing and maintaining your milk supply through regular pumping.
The NICU provides hospital-grade electric breast pumps and secure storage for expressed milk, which is labelled and kept refrigerated or frozen until needed.
