We understand that when it comes to choosing the right healthcare provider for your little one, trust is very crucial. Extending the trust we have built with moms over the nine months of their pregnancy journey, Cloudnine’s Department of Pediatrics provides a wide range of outpatient and inpatient services to children right from pre-term babies up to the age of 12.
The department provides comprehensive paediatric services like Neonatal ICU (NICU), Paediatric ICU (PICU) and General Paediatrics including Immunisation Services, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Paediatric Neurology, Paediatric Pulmonology, Paediatric ENT, Paediatric Ophthalmology, Paediatric Urology, Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery, Paediatric Genetics, Paediatric Orthodontics, Paediatric Allergy, Paediatric Dermatology, Paediatric Endocrinology, Paediatric Infectious Diseases, Developmental Paediatrics, Child Psychology & Psychiatry.
With dedicated play areas, friendly doctors and attractive consultant rooms, our paediatric wards make kids feel comfortable and welcome.
A distinguishing feature of neonatal and paediatric care at Cloudnine Hospitals is the newborn screening, specifically the newborn hearing test and Guthrie test. Fulfilling our aim to provide international standards of paediatric care, we are the only medical facility in the country to provide these tests. The Guthrie test, which is mandatory in most developed countries, is done to identify any enzymatic or biochemical disorder in an otherwise normal-looking baby and proactively save the baby from any harm.
At Cloudnine, we value the trust that parents show in us and therefore adopt the best paediatric care model to improve the healthcare of infants, children and adolescents.

We were blessed with a baby girl who was looked after in the NICU by Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai at Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony, New Delhi. He was knowledgeable and very thorough. He educated us like a parent and recommended the right care for her. Thank you, Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai
My baby was premature at just 600 grams when he was born at 28 weeks. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Somalika Pal and the team, my baby is more than 2 kg today. All the Cloudnine staff, especially the NICU team, were very hard-working and caring. We are very thankful to all."
I delivered at Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony, and my baby was under the care of Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai. He was very good. He taught me the essentials of newborn care, like feeding the baby. The services were excellent, and the nursing staff was caring and motivating. Thank you so much
A paediatrician is a doctor who specialises in caring for infants, children and young adults.
In India, children up to 12 or 13 years are registered under Paediatric service and should consult a paediatrician for various conditions.
Your child should not only see the paediatrician when he/she is sick but also at regular intervals of time for routine checkups. This gives the paediatrician an opportunity to keep track of your child’s physical and mental growth and development and to detect problems through screening tests.
Immunizations are a series of shots given to children at different ages to help ward off serious, and potentially fatal diseases. Vaccines protect your child against illnesses like polio, measles, tetanus and so on.
India has approved two homegrown Covid vaccines for children under the age of 12 - Biological E's COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax for children aged 5 to12 and Bharat Biotech's Covaxin for 6 to 12-year olds.

The Guthrie test detects any enzymatic or biochemical disorder in an otherwise normal-looking baby, and this test ensures the baby is proactively saved from any damage. This test is mandatory in developed countries.
It is normal for infants aged 4–5 months to suck their fingers. It is their way of exploring their surroundings. For older children, the sucking may be a result of familiarity or used as a way to self-comfort. Should parents find that their grown-up child is still sucking on their fingers, they should provide a distraction for the sucking instead of being strict with them.
Children around the age of 3 begin to speak normally. You can assist your child in developing their language and communication skills by reading them storybooks and by speaking with them regularly.
Usually, between 6 and 13 months, your baby begins to crawl. Between 9 and 12 months, they will pull themselves up. And between 8 and 18 months, they will walk for the first time. So if they are not walking at all by 18 months and not walking steadily by age 2, you should consult a paediatrician.
