Introduction: During the past few decades, preventive and therapeutic interventions focused primarily on low birth weight infants and deliveries occurring at less than 34 weeks. Many clinicians have become increasingly comfortable with births in late preterm gestations and many seemingly choose elective delivery well before 39 to 40 weeks of gestation, mistakenly believing that these neonates may be as physiologically and metabolically mature as term new borns. Methodology: Data were collected from infants and mothers medical records and supplemented with additional information collected at discharge using a structured form covering the variables of interest. Variables relating to the mothers and their infants were analyzed. Results: Regarding gestational age, 18 neonates were admitted between the gestational ages of 340/7 to 346/7 weeks who constitute about 18%. 16 neonates were admitted between the gestational ages of 350/7 to 356/7 weeks who constitute about 16% and 66 neonates were admitted between the gestational ages of 361/7 to 366/7 weeks who constitute 67%. Conclusion: Majority of babies were admitted within first three days of life.
