Premature babies often require incubators to help regulate their body temperature, as they lack adequate fat and muscle to maintain warmth. Incubators also provide a controlled environment that can protect them from infections and help manage their oxygen levels. However, the necessity of an incubator depends on the baby’s gestational age, weight, and overall health condition. Some stable preterm infants may not need an incubator if they can maintain their temperature and breathing independently.
