BABY WARMING SOLUTIONS
Babies can't regulate their body temperature as effectively as kids and adults because their bodies have more surface area by weight, causing quicker heat loss. Babies also don't have as much insulating body fat, especially sick or premature babies. Keeping babies warm helps them stay healthy and comfortable. Babies must expend large amounts of energy to stay warm if they are in a cold environment or dressed inadequately. Babies can’t build up energy reserves if they're using too much energy to stay warm, and babies who are sick may take longer to get better. WHY BABIES MUST KEPT WARM?

Newborns may also be kept warm in an incubator or open bed with radiant warmer, which adjusts the amount of heat based on the newborn's body temperature. After newborns have left the hospital, you can keep them warm with a hat babies lose large amounts of heat through their heads and by envelope them in a blanket.
