Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): This condition is more common in premature infants and is characterized by insufficient surfactant in the lungs, making it difficult for the baby to breathe. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): This occurs when the baby's brain doesn't receive enough oxygen and blood, potentially leading to long-term neurological issues. Neonatal Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels in newborns can cause various symptoms, including jitteriness, lethargy, and even seizures if not promptly treated. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): This heart defect involves the failure of a blood vessel to close after birth, which can lead to heart failure if untreated. Neonatal Jaundice: High levels of bilirubin can cause yellowing of the skin and eyes and, in severe cases, can lead to brain damage known as kernicterus.
