Alicia K. Yee is a neonatologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. She looks after babies who need extra care, especially when they are born early or have breathing and oxygen problems that can be hard to manage in the first days and weeks of life.
In her day-to-day work, she supports families and the wider care team in the NICU and other newborn settings. That can mean helping with infantile apnea, including apnea of prematurity, and central sleep apnea. It can also include babies who have cerebral hypoxia, where oxygen levels were low around birth and the baby needs careful monitoring and support.
Premature babies often need close follow-up because their bodies are still learning how to breathe and regulate things like temperature and oxygen. In many cases, these babies are also dealing with challenges related to intrauterine growth restriction, which means they didn’t grow as well as expected while still in the womb. Alicia’s role is about steady, practical care—watching closely, responding to changes, and working with the team to keep each baby as stable as possible.
She works with parents and clinicians to make sense of what is happening now, what might change over time, and what the next steps look like. Neonatal care can feel overwhelming, so the tone matters. Alicia focuses on clear communication and calm support, while also staying focused on the medical details that can make a difference for a newborn.
Her education and work history details aren’t listed here, and there’s no specific research or clinical trial information shown. What is clear from her clinical focus is that she spends her time on the conditions that affect newborn breathing and oxygen levels, and on care for premature and growth-restricted infants.
