Infants are mostly the patients of neonatologists require special medical attention because of ill or prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, birth asphyxia, sepsis and congenital malformations.

Additionally, being looked after by the doctors who have some expertise in neonatology, some neonatal newborn babies, specifically those who are critically premature or ill, are cared by nurse practitioners.
