A member asked:
Who takes care of your baby if he's born premature?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Minor prematurity is often managed by the pediatrician but for sick or more premature babies the neonatologist often will take care of the baby until such time the baby can be cared for by the pediatrician.
