Prenatal neglect is a hidden form of violence in which a pregnant woman intentionally, or through negligence, exposes her child to the risk of loss of life or health. The aim of this study is to present the specifics of caring for a newborn from a neglected pregnancy. The research method used in this study is the analysis of an individual case based on the nursing process and a literature review. The following nursing diagnoses were made: risk of overheating and dehydration of the newborn, nappy rash, disturbances in the process of building emotional bonds between parents and the newborn, lack of willingness to start breastfeeding, inappropriate positioning of the newborn, and the risk of lowering the newborn’s immunity during and after antibiotic therapy initiated due to increased CRP levels. Many scientific articles similarly address care problems, but the specifics of caring for such a newborn are omitted.
