NICU

When babies are born early, have health problems, or a difficult birth they go to the hospital's NICU. NICU stands for "neonatal intensive care unit." There, babies get around-the-clock care from a team of experts. Most of these babies go to the NICU (NIK-yoo) within 24 hours of birth. How long they stay depends on their health condition. Some babies stay only a few hours or days; others stay weeks or months.

You may hear the NICU called:
  • a special care nursery
  • an intensive care nursery
  • a newborn intensive care nursery

Who Can Visit the NICU?

Parents can visit and spend time with their babies who stay in the NICU. Other family members might be able to visit, but only during set hours and only a few at a time. Children visiting the NICU must be well (not sick) and should have all theirimmunizations. Check with the hospital staff about which family members can see your baby. Some units require guests to wear hospital gowns. You may need to wear gloves and a mask. Everyone who comes into the NICU must wash their hands before they enter.
