Special babies need special care
It can feel overwhelming when something doesn’t go as planned during your pregnancy or labor and delivery. If your baby has a health complication or arrives early, you can trust that Baylor Scott & White’s comprehensive neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have the specialists, services and technologies your baby needs.
Expert care with a compassionate touch
At Baylor Scott & White’s NICUs, you and your baby have access to well-equipped and experienced care teams to provide the most appropriate treatment for your baby.
Family-focused NICU services
Whether your baby needs a brief NICU stay after a difficult birth or a month-long stay to gain the strength to go home, your team will ensure you are fully involved in your baby’s care.
Specialized education
You will receive specialized educational materials that help you understand your baby's health condition and unique health needs. Our dedicated staff will explain complex medical terms and treatments so you are fully aware of what is happening with your baby.
Understanding NICU levels
The level of care your infant needs will depend on their diagnosis or particular need. Throughout the Baylor Scott & White system, parents have access to all levels of NICU care.
Level I
Level I newborn nurseries provide routine care for babies born after 35 weeks who can breathe, eat, and maintain their body temperature on their own.
Level II
Level II special care nurseries provide services to infants born after 32 weeks who may need short-term support breathing or babies who need additional help to heal and grow before going home.
Level III
Level III NICUs provide advanced and comprehensive care for mild to critically ill babies and premature babies of all gestational ages, including sustained life support and access to a full range of pediatric subspecialists.
Level IV
Level IV NICUs provide the highest level of complex, comprehensive care to babies of all gestational ages, including advanced life support services and sophisticated surgical and imaging capabilities.

Caring for NICU babies requires a team of specialists who work around the clock to support your newborn. NICU staff at Baylor Scott & White will vary by location and NICU level, but you can count on our multidisciplinary professionals to have the latest training to care for your sick or premature baby.
