Preterm infants are especially vulnerable to cold stress and generally do not have the stamina or capabilities to remain physiologically or behaviorally stable during a tub bath. Swaddled bathing is the practice of wrapping a baby in a lightweight cloth (in a flexed and midline position), immersing him in warm water to the shoulders, and exposing only one area of the body at a time for washing. Swaddled bathing has been shown to reduce behavioral stress, keep babies more thermally stable and conserve their energy for subsequent feedings. Interviewed parents express an increased confidence and preference in swaddled bathing. Quraishy, K, Bowles, S & Moore J. (2013) A Protocol for Swaddled Bathing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Newborn and Infant Nursing Reviews, Vol. 13, pp 48-50.
