 Hi, my name is Dr. Farooq Sayed, working as a consultant neonatologist at KMC Hospital, Mangalore. See, if you see the recent trends in pediatrics, especially in neonatology, there are increasing number of preterm deliveries, preterm babies. So when it comes to neonatology, we classify these babies into preterms and terms. There is one more category called as late preterm neonates. The significance of these late preterm neonates are physically they look like term babies, but physiologically, functionally, they are not term babies. So it comes to respiratory problems, depends on the severity of respiratory problem. So we will be treating accordingly. One most common thing what we encounter in these babies, the feeding problem and the jaundice. When compared to term babies, these babies are more prone to develop jaundice, which may require phototherapy and other further management. Yes, when it comes to feeding, these babies look like term babies and we feel that babies feeding will be established soon. But in fact, these babies may take time for feed establishment. In fact, in discharge summary, sometimes you will be seeing the diagnosis kept as late preterm neonates and some other conditions. So late preterm neonates come under category of gestation from 34 weeks of gestation to 37 weeks of gestation. More than 37 weeks we call them as term, more than 34 weeks we call as preterms. Once the feeding is not established and if the baby is not sucking well at the breast, once the feeding decreases, these babies are more prone for getting hyperbuldubenemia, so called as jaundice. So this is the most common complication what we see in late preterm neonates. Here at KMC, NICU, Mangalore, we have well equipped level 2B NICU and the best part is we have well trained nurses who can handle all type of babies, any complications we see in neonatology.
