Preterm babies who weigh two kilograms or more and have no heart or lung problems and normal thermoregulation may not need to stay in a warming box.
The development of premature babies is sometimes incomplete and the development of the body temperature center is immature. Babies weighing less than two kilograms need to live in a warming box, which can help premature babies maintain a normal body temperature. Preterm babies can be monitored more closely in the warming box. If the baby weighs more than two kilograms and has adapted well to the outside environment, he or she can be taken out of the warming box.
Some preterm babies who weigh more than 2 kilograms but are less well adapted to the outside world or have serious illnesses may still need to stay in the incubator until they are well adapted to the outside world and can be discharged from the incubator.
After the preterm baby is out of the warming box, it is also necessary to pay attention to strengthen the nursing care, do a good job of keeping warm, and try to do breastfeeding.
