What kind of nurses take care of new born babies


There are generally three types of nurses that care for new born in the hospital setting: 
Labour and Delivery Nurses typically assist with deliveries and care for the baby immediately following birth (taking vital signs, cutting the cord, and assessing the APGAR score).
Maternity Nurses care for babies on the postpartum floor of hospitals (mother/baby unit)
NICU Nurses care for babies that are sick or premature

These nurses often will utilize their skills outside the hospital in a private setting. Through personal care, RN's (along with new born Care Specialists and Postpartum Doulas) provide additional support to mothers and new born to ease the transition home.
