About Warmer & CPAP

Small and premature babies lose heat quickly. A radiant warmer keeps them at a steady, safe temperature while the team cares for them.

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) gives a gentle, steady flow of air through soft nasal prongs, keeping a newborn's small airways open and making breathing easier without a ventilator.

When to bring your child

  • Premature or low-birth-weight babies
  • Newborns with breathing difficulty
  • Babies who cannot keep warm on their own

  3. 3WeanSupport is reduced step by step as the baby breathes comfortably.

Common questions

Does CPAP hurt my baby?

No. CPAP uses soft nasal prongs or a mask. Babies usually settle well once it is in place.
