[quote=Anonymous]The most important way to keep a baby warm in this situation is to keep a hat on all the time. Just a simple cotton baby hat will do indoors. Babies' surface area is mostly head, and they lose the majority of heat through their heads, so if they are cold they will spend most of their food energy trying to stay warm. We had a preemie in the winter who was not gaining weight. The doctor told us to put a hat on at all times, and then the baby started to gain and was back in the growth chart within a month.[/quote]
