It varies with the severity and complexity of the required care; starting at a few hundred dollars and ending at tens of thousands PER DAY.

Neonatal nursing care can cost a horrendous amount of money. There probably isn't a way to put a "cost" on it per se, but viewed as a percentage of the budget for a medical institution, it is a big drain on resources. There are those who would argue that some of the patients in neonatal nursing are "not deserving" of the care they are given. Specifically these are infants of severely addicted mothers. The medical issues these newborns present with are overwhelming, and the child saved by intervention may well face a lifetime of challenges because of other maladies that are the result of the mother's drug use during gestation. The institutions and the government are stuck with the cost of this care, and it is an issue with no seeming solution.

Neonatal would make nothing, as they are babies. You're thinking of a neonatologist. They make significant money, as any other specialist within the health care. The approx range is between $200,000 to $499,000.
