Body heating equipment called a Baby Warmer is used to warm the body. This gadget lowers the baby's metabolism rate and maintains body temperature. Heat tends to flow in the heat gradient direction which is from high temperature to low temperature. Some newborn babies lose heat quickly, therefore body heaters provide artificial support to maintain. In certain areas with very cold climates, babies are kept on Baby Warmer for a couple of hours immediately after birth to ensure they baby is stabilized after birth.
