The purpose of this study is to determine how to best take care of the skin of preterm infants in order to prevent infections through the skin.
The skin of babies who are born too early is not mature, which means they are at risk for infections of the skin or in the body. Their skin also become very dry, leading to cracking and breakdown, and this may feel painful or uncomfortable for the infant.
