Where Life Begins with Care - Born Too Soon Born Too Small

Every baby deserves the best possible beginnings, to come into this world with all the colours added to life. But sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn. Some babies arrive too soon, too small, or facing critical challenges. Preterm births, low birth weight, and complications at delivery can make their first journey a difficult one. The normal rhythm of family life is disrupted. In these moments, stress, confusion, and fear can take hold - leaving families in need of not just medical care, but emotional support and reassurance. That’s why it’s essential to choose a hospital that offers comprehensive and advanced care right from pregnancy planning, childbirth and beyond. As parents prepare for the arrival of their baby, it’s important to think beyond the nursery and consider the full spectrum of maternal and pediatric care that may be needed, from routine deliveries to critical neonatal support.

Pregnancy and childbirth are profound journeys that require continuous support from highly skilled medical specialists at every stage. For expectant parents, the birth of a child is one of life’s most cherished and eagerly anticipated moments. Growing evidence shows that a person’s health throughout life from infancy to adulthood is significantly influenced starting from the prenatal phase. This makes vigilant, specialized care during pregnancy essential to ensure that every child is born in the best possible health.

Our obstetricians carefully review each patient’s individual profile to ensure a safe delivery, focusing on prolonging the pregnancy whenever possible and minimizing the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight that could result in NICU admission. To further support expecting families, we offer exclusive childbirth preparation classes designed to educate and empower parents through every stage of labor and delivery. However, should any emergency arise during delivery, our expert teams are fully prepared to respond immediately, ensuring the highest level of care for both mother and child.

A child’s first breath should happen be in an environment equipped to provide expert care — supporting their child’s health journey from newborn through adolescence. BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals pioneered the integration of childbirth within a dedicated children’s hospital setting, ensuring immediate access to specialized care for any medical needs the baby may require without the stress of rushing to another facility at any hour.

Prepared for Any Challenge: Our Advanced Intensive Care Units

Premature birth presents a multifaceted challenge, demanding both medical expertise and emotional resilience. These tiny new-borns, many weighing less than a kilogram face immediate and serious health risks, from respiratory distress and underdeveloped organs to long-term developmental delays and increased vulnerability to infections. Advancements in neonatal care offer hope, but the journey remains daunting for families, both emotionally and financially. Raising awareness, supporting ongoing research, and ensuring readiness in handling extremely low birth weight or preterm infants are essential to improving outcomes and fostering a more supportive environment for these vulnerable new-born’s and their families.

Rainbow Children’s Hospital stands as one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the country, equipped with largest network of level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a comprehensive pediatric intensive care (PICU).

Rainbow’s NICU is designed to offer the highest level of care for new-born’s in need of critical medical attention. From advanced incubators and ventilators to stringent infection control protocols and constant monitoring, every inch of the NICU is engineered to protect , support and nurture the most fragile lives.

Our trained neonatologists, work 24/7 to ensure each baby receives individualized care. Alongside them, a multidisciplinary team of neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, and support staff remain by the baby’s side every moment of the day.

At Rainbow, we’ve handled some of the rarest and most critical cases of extremely low birth weight babies, some born weighing less than 1 kg, with a remarkable record of saving a baby weighing just 350 grams. At BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals, we’ve earned the trust of families across the country, with over 201,300 successful deliveries. These success stories are a testament to our commitment and deep expertise in neonatal medicine.

Nourishing Life: Rainbow’s Mother’s Milk Bank

At Rainbow, we go beyond treatment, Our Mother's Milk Bank ensures that even the most premature babiesreceive the vital nutrition they need to grow stronger, fight infections, and develop naturally. We follow rigorous screening, pasteurization, and storage protocols, making donor milk a safe and trusted solution for babies who need it most. This initiative reflects our holistic approach to neonatal care—because nutrition is just as critical as medical support.

Mental Health Support for Parents

Having a newborn in the NICU is an emotionally overwhelming experience, often filled with uncertainty, fear, and a deep sense of helplessness. At Rainbow, we understand these challenges and offer dedicated psychological support and counselling to help families cope. Our NICU team actively communicates with parents, keeping them involved in their baby’s progress and encouraging skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) whenever possible to strengthen emotional bonds, we care for the whole family, not just the patient.

The Collaborative Effort: Obstetricians, Fetal medicine Specialists and Neonatologists

From the moment a high-risk pregnancy is identified, our obstetricians work closely with fetal medicine specialists, and neonatologists to plan every detail from advanced antenatal counselling, early detection, diagnosis and fetal interventions to safe delivery and postnatal care.

We work in close collaboration with fetal medicine specialists to identify and manage risk factors that may lead to low birth weight or preterm delivery. Using advanced imaging, genetic screening, and detailed growth monitoring, early warning signs such as placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, or maternal complications are detected and addressed proactively. This integrated approach enables timely interventions that optimize fetal health, prolong pregnancy to a safer gestational age, and significantly reduce the likelihood of NICU admissions after delivery. This integrated approach ensures that babies born prematurely or with medical conditions receive immediate, often life-saving intervention — sometimes within seconds of birth.

At Rainbow, we don’t just care—we prepare, protect, and provide hope. Our strength lies in seamless collaboration, ensuring thoughtful pregnancy planning, expert fetal care, safe deliveries, advanced therapeutics, and emergency neonatal intervention when it’s needed most. From routine births to high-risk and premature deliveries, our expertise spans every type of birthing journey in the safest environments, backed by a full spectrum of obstetric, fetal medicine specialist, neonatal and pediatric specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
