Cradling the baby with extremities flexed helps with ventilation and neuroevolutive development,and helps prevent flattening of the occiput.While the baby is being warmed,the nurse monitors the baby's temperature continuously with a skin probe.Repositioning every 4 hours helps prevent skin breakdown.The skin of the preterm infant is fragile so bathing is not done daily and is done without soap products.Premature infants need to be weighed daily.
