What is the name of the nurses that work with the newborn babies?
neonatal is an adjective smth or smb connected with a child that has just been born. (neo - new, natal - to be born) so, the answer is neonatal nurse.
Reply:Neonatal nurses specialise in the care of newborn infants with various problems in specialised units. In the UK these are called Neonatal units or S.C.B.U ( special care baby unit) these can range from respiratory care to neurological problems.

It's also neonate nurse in UK. Midwives deliver and help (teach) mom to look after baby if healthy. But by 'work' you mean like looking after them with specialist skills, then it's neonate or neonatal nurses. Then there are the specialist pre-term neonate nurses who have even more specialist training. Most healthy newborns only need feeding and pooping - barely any specialist training needed.
