What does a Neonatology do other than take care or newborns?

Question

I want to b a nurse when i grow up and i love babies but if I'm am a nursery nurse i don't wanna work with sick babies because my heart cant take it so is their a profession that i can do that works with healthy babies?

Answer 1

Healthy babies are sent home right away usually.  Only babies that are seriously ill will be kept in the hospital longer.  I think that any work in the maternity ward will bring you into contact with healthy babies.

You could also specialize in lactation - helping mothers breastfeed their newborns.  There are some public health nurses visit moms in their homes and help with any questions.
