Premature babies are at an even higher risk of infection than full-term babies. Here's what you need to know about infections and preemies, including diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and complications.

Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN)

Transient tachypnea (TTN) occurs when too much fluid is left in the lungs after birth. This makes it hard for the baby to take in air. Learn how the condition is diagnosed and treated.

Bowel Movements and Urination (Baby)

When you have a baby, dirty diapers are a part of daily life. But changing diapers is more than just a chore. It's also a way to keep track of your baby's health. This sheet will help you know what's normal and what's not.

How a Hernia Develops

Although a hernia bulge may appear suddenly, hernias often take years to develop. They grow larger as pressure inside the body presses the intestines or other tissues out through a weak area in the abdominal wall, often at the belly button, or a site of previous surgery. With time, these tissues can bulge out beneath the skin.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. This makes it harder to breathe.
