This text provides a preventive and public health approach to common neonatal problems, from optimal perinatal and cardiorespiratory management to less frequent surgical, dermatological, and orthopedic disorders. It serves as a primer on neonatal neuroscience and mental health, from understanding addiction and its impact on fetal and infant brain structure and function, to studying long-term neurodevelopment in other high-risk infants. It also offers an introduction to emerging knowledge in the biome and neuroscience, with a focus on nutrition. Lastly, it addresses current healthcare service delivery models in newborn medicine, with pediatric hospitalists and advance practice providers becoming increasingly important to patient care and research.
