Why are infants put in incubators?
most babies that are put into incubators are either born premature and need help keeping their body temperature up or some other health problem that requires them to be incubated. Premature or tiny babies are unable to keep themselves sufficiently warm. They are also very weak and prone to infections. An incubator is a special type of a cot which provides an ideal environment for the baby. It tries to stimulate the conditons as inside the womb. Some incubators have open tops but even if they don’t, they have holes at the sides through which you can touch and stroke your baby. Needy babies are placed in incubators till they are stronger.
