This study investigates the impact of social media on neonatal health and parental decision-making, particularly in the context of Misinformation. New parents face mounting health information dangers because they increasingly depend on social media as their information source. The research adopts both quantitative surveys and qualitative literature analysis to assess how social media affects neonatal healthcare delivery methods. Research data demonstrates that parents frequently base important health choices about their newborns on bogus social media content, which demands immediate interaction between healthcare providers and parent users of these platforms. Digital literacy programs should be developed because they enhance the ability of parents to evaluate health information on the Internet. User test subjects demonstrated marked investment in receiving educational programs, showing their wish to learn better methods of approaching complex digital health platforms. Research findings indicate that fixing Misinformation demands multiple intervention strategies that combine the active involvement of healthcare providers with the digital content development of trusted resources. Building an educated parent community will increase neonatal welfare together with digital infant care quality in present-day healthcare.
